Hotel was lovely and even though we were warned and expected noise on a Sat night in December, we didn’t expect to be quite as loud as it was! We were directly above the Xmas disco room and the windows in our room were actually vibrating. On the up side they did finish promptly at midnight. Just be aware it’s not just background noise but very loud. Need more staff on at breakfast time to keep tables cleared and food stocked up.

Lovely hotel, we were at a family party nearby. The hotel bar area is excellent and well priced. All of the staff from check in to bar and breakfast servers were excellent. The continental breakfast is a great start to the day, the full English breakfast also looked great. This was our second stay and we will be back.

Old hotel which has had some renovation or upgrade but beds soft and creaky. Basic toiletries and facilities. Biggest issue is that it is unsafe - steps all over with a heavily patterned carpet and poor warning. Wife ended up min A&E after fall with chipped bones in foot and ankle plus black eye and gash on lip.

Heavily stained bed linen. Very noisy activity throughout the night. I informed the receptionist about the bed linen. No compensation was offered. And as I was in a hurry I didn’t continue the conversation.
