Great view of Lock Seven and boats using the lock. Nice balcony to sit on to watch these ships transit the lock. Room was clean and had comfortable chairs and a table to use. Beds could be a little more plush but all in all I had a good sleep.

A pleasant if not luxurious room but comfortable and with a table and chairs! So you can eat and play board games without perching precariously on the bed. And the boats go by. Staff and owner are really nice and so accommodating. We love this place.
