The music from the nearby bar was loud and continued late into the night. It was difficult to sleep, and the noise seemed excessive. The lack of clear signage for after-hours entry was also a problem, it made getting back in confusing.

the breakfast was really good. i enjoyed a full english and my wife had scrambled eggs with bacon. there was plenty of tea and fruit juice, local bacon and sausages. the staff was very friendly and helpful.

the room was hot and stuffy. the shower had really difficult control for the hot and cold water. the guy checking me in was obviously busy. i felt he was abrupt and surly.

The staff was lovely, I felt very welcome. They helped with an early check-in, so helpful! The food was also excellent. I really enjoyed the dishes. The bed was comfy, and I found it very cozy.

My room got quite hot, and a fan was included but not really effective. I could not open the window to sleep because of the noise from the pub. The light outside kept switching on and the light came through the door gaps. I did not get a good night's sleep.
