Comfortable stay… until the 7am construction alarm clock.
Pros:

The room at the Bull ’n Bush was clean, comfortable and pleasantly old‑school. The location is great — an easy stroll to the Bull ’n Bush Hotel for a genuinely excellent dinner, and close to shops and cafés for the morning.

Cons:

What wasn’t so great was being jolted awake at 7am by a bobcat practically kissing the back wall of our room. Twenty minutes of earth‑moving two feet from our heads, followed by a mysterious hour‑long break that made it very clear this could have waited until after 8am. After a long drive the day before, this was not the wake‑up call we ordered.

Great spot, lovely staff… but maybe check whether heavy machinery is scheduled for your morning.

Clean and comfortable but expensive.
Pros:

The bed was really comfortable.

Cons:

I couldn’t turn the TV off the screen saver screen and the amount of light in the room when I went to bed. I ended up putting a blanket over the TV but couldn’t do anything about the amount of light in the room.
