Very comfortable clean bed

Nice big room with a very comfortable clean king size bed.The bathroom was very big with a large shower and a beautiful large bath.The room was clean.Three large windows with a riverside view.plenty of sun light shining through. The only downside was there was no long mirror in the room but there are plenty long mirrors in the hall ways.we were very pleased with our room.

We've just returned from a two night stay at Ednam House hotel. Its a hotel with a traditional feel. Our room was spacious and comfortable with a courtyard view. On the other side is the most magnificent river views. Breakfast was nice and staff extremely pleasant. Wouldnt hesitate to return or recommend to anyone considering a visit
