Lovely accomodation and staff , def don’t recommend room 118 due to external factors
Pros:

Staff were lovely and very accomodating and respectful - no complaints at all

Cons:

I struggled to sleep. Blackout blinds did not block out street lights and the 5 am truck driver delivery to what was probably McDonalds didn’t help
They may wish to be mindful that people are asleep when they drop their back trays

Nice hotel, amazing food, great helpful staff.
Pros:

Was nice and clean. Comfortable bed, staff were very friendly and helpful. Food is absolutely amazing, location is close to Hobbiton.

Cons:

Property is great. The city is very lovely but bit too chilled for me. We stayed 2 nights, 1 is enough in my opinion.
