Rooms facing the road are a bit noisy - road noise as cars go past - and we were woken at 4am by late night partyers coming in for the evening in the hallway, so the room soundproofing isn't great. Watch out that breakfast on Sunday is a surprisingly late 7.30am

Overall the hotel was very nice, the only let down was something outside of it's control in that there were a few people doing loud wheelspins etc on the road outside which made it hard to sleep. Other than that, service was lovely, breakfast was great with a really good selection available. Parking spaces were small, but I'd say that was to be expected.
