Positives: Clean room The Wharf, but couldn't swing a cat, extremely small.
Early arrival before 3 pm, and told by Bar person no check in before that. No safe space to leave our small amount of luggage during that period.
Experience on exploring and sitting in garden ......very old rickety tables-chairs in lower garden, pigeon/bird poo on most tables. Decided that we would eat at places such as The Lock Inn, The Canal inn, The Fig and The Bolthole for both breakfasts and evening meals, much mire amenable in both value for money and surroundings.
Sadly The Barge Inn did not live up to our expectation as described on websites we viewed, even menu was totally different when shown on arrival.
Of note, can we suggest staff are given some hospitality training in customer care and to help promote what could be a beautiful Inn, as on a perfect site regarding setting, right by canal.
