Although guests like the riverside location and the view of Jubilee Bridge, a number of reviews indicate that some found the pub/hotel was a little too isolated. A car would be beneficial here.
Several guests express dissatisfaction with the car parking facility, which is sometimes described as a muddy area with lots of rubbish around. Also, it seems that you have to walk across muddy grass to get to the hotel and the facility is poorly signposted.
