We were walking the Thames Path so the location was good as not too far from the route. The room was large with plenty of space for our equipment. Although the building is on a busy road our room was quiet and we slept well. Good selection of beers in the pub. We didn't eat in the pub as we had overdone pub food during our walk, instead we went to the Italian restaurant (Limoncello) 1 minute walk away
