We decided to celebrate our son's partner celebrated her 40th birthday at the Ferry Boat, inviting 25 guests for lunch, as it is such a beautiful setting. We all had to pre-order our food, which we were quite happy to do in order to make things easier. For starters, I had salmon which was OK but the salad that came... more

We took a couple of Australian friends for a meal here, we live in the area and have had a positive experience here in the past. In the past being the operative word! The staff were indifferent and gave the impression that they really didn't want to be there, I felt they considered the customers were nothing more than an... more

I read the reviews before we went, and they all seemed fairly negative, but for some reason I still wanted to go. I dont think I would ever go again, and I am not much better off having been there. The pub itself has burnt down a few times so you are not actually in the oldest pub in England,... more

It's a busy eating house, and the food is good, but it could do with a lick of paint and a few new chairs! The bedrooms are adequate if your not planning on spending too much time in them. We stayed in room 1 overlooking the river. As for the bathroom / cubby-hole.........all the bathrooms must be similar, because we... more

I have just stayed at the Old Ferry Boat and I had a great time. The location was lovely, right next to the river, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. Some of the rooms are a little on the small side but you are staying in the oldest pub in England, we never expected... more

Me and my wife visitied the Old Ferry Boat inn for two nights. We stayed in room five. I think this is the worst room in the hotel. Outside the room there is chimney of the kitchen which was blowing till 22:00, and started at 07:00. Besides that you could hear the radio in the kitchen very clear. The bathroom... more

My Father and I visited this pub today for lunch and we were very happy with our experience. Although we did not see any of the rooms, the pub itself is full of charm and the service friendly. The location is beautiful and a bit of a hidden gem! We ordered their burger (topped with gammon) and a Winter rustic... more

First impressions were of a lovely old hotel, but accommodation left a lot to be desired. Beware of room 5. The shower room was so small that to get washed at the basin, you had to leave the door open. There was a very large extractor fan for the restaurant immediately outside the bedroom window which was on from about... more
