It is interesting that the bathroom is an open concept which I am aware of before booking it but it would be great to have a more solid divider to block the shower area

There was a wedding in the hotel and we couldn’t sleep at all until past 3am. They shouldn’t open rooms to people outside the wedding party because the noise insulation is close to nothing.

Nous avons louer a la derniere minute et la proprietaire nous a accomoder avec un lit d'extra pour notre 4ieme enfant. La chambre etait tres propre et la salle de bain tres spacieuse avec une belle grande douche et une belle touche d'Eucalypsus pour un sentiment de spa. Nous avons adore notre experience. Je vous le recommende.

Bad experience. Stayed at room above restaurant, restaurant partied all night and left stereo on. Still on full blast at 7AM when we left. No sleep at all due to continuous bass beating. Unless the hotel and restaurant can sort this type of behavior out, I would not stay at British hotel. Got refund, but what I needed was sleep.
