Nice place to stay
Pros:

Friendly and helpful at front desk. The handle on the bathroom door was loose so couldn’t close it fully to use the loo.
Could do with something on at night.

Pros:

Bed very comfortable. Room got hot. Didn’t feel comfortable leaving window open over night due to fire escape right outside the window and being a lone female.

Great hotel and location
Pros:

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.

Avoid room 20, pre cooked breakfast, cold hotel
Pros:

Cold downstairs, main door left open & bar/garden door left open, breakfast all pre-cooked except the egg, small cold buffet selection, twin beds pushed together in room 20 fall into the mattress, mould on walks, iron burn on carpet, walls stained,

Disappointed
Pros:

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.
Pros:

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.
