Great hotel and location

Check in was very easy, staff were very friendly and helpful, room was lovely , larger than expected with 4 poster bed. Great hotel in great location. Bar area was very nice with painted mural walls. Only minor negative comment would be that the paint work i.e. doors and skirting was looking very tired, could do with a refresh.

Disappointed

Food was lovely and staff serving were helpful. The heating was on in my room full blast in a really warm day when I first went in, was too scared to leave the window open as I was level with the roof and there was a lot of birds. Room was average, pretty small. Unfortunately i attempted to call reception 3 times between 11pm-midnight to ask when the music would be turned off, it was turned off at midnight but then the music was back on again at 6.30am. I’m guessing my room was right above the speakers in the restaurant which was unfortunate. Just overall a very noisy hotel with old floor boards and other guests shouting good night to each other down the hall.

Paper thin walls - prepare for no sleep.

Unfortunately I had virtually no sleep at the hotel as it was so noisy.The walls are paper thin, so you can hear everything from the room above too. Added to which the bathroom was in a "cupboard" so accessing it was ridiculously awkward. At 5am we gave up, drove home and went to bed.

Laura

Disliked: Staff & service
The room was fine, old fashioned but worked for us to lay our head when we got back. We had an issue with keys (we accidentally left it in the room as we left and didn’t realise, so this then involved them trying about 100 keys in the lock to get in and then waking up the owner of the hotel and us being told “a very angry man is going to come in a minute to sort this out”, which made me feel very uncomfortable. it took almost an hour to sort out, which was a nightmare, and once we finally got to bed, we could hear the goings on in the next room until the very early hours of the next morning so barely slept. I probably wouldn’t stay again!
