The Three Pickerels

Wonderful hotel with great staff

Just got home from a three-night stay at this lovely hotel. I stayed here a number of years ago and it was good then but it has since undergone a complete renovation and extension, with more bedrooms, extended deck and terracing, restaurant and bar. From my arrival at reception, checking in and being shown to my room, I found all the staff friendly, cheerful and helpful. No question too silly, always happy to help. Can't ask more than that! My room was a riverside view - two windows facing the river and double french doors which opened to a "Juliette Balcony", ie a glass barrie and bar across - just an opportunity to have lots of fresh air and sunshine (I think this would have been very acceptable during the hot summer!). The bed was a king-size bed and was extremely comfortable with pillows and cushions, and at the foot of the bed was a sofa facing a TV on the wall. There was also a very nice tub chair and a large square "pouffe"/seat in the middle of the room. The bathroom was excellent - walk-in shower, wash basin and toilet, light-up mirror. Everywhere was spotless and I couldn't have been more pleased with my surroundings. There was a hair dryer, a fan, a small portable electric heater. There was also central heating with a large radiator on the wall! What more could you ask for? Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice and I had a meal in the restaurant too - Moroccan spiced salmon, which was "spot-on" ! All in all, I have had a lovely few days at this peaceful hotel and I highly commend the friendly staff, the rooms, the food and, in fact, everything about it ! Would I come back again? Most definitely. Thank you The Three Pickerels.

Great hotel, with a beautiful view of the river and great dining facilities. The staff were very good and the room clean and spacious. Overall would recommend this hotel.
