fantastic stay!

private carpark convenient location easy access quiet atmosphere
i stayed in room 16, located behind the pub, with a view of the driveway. the location was perfect. the hotel has a private car park , accessible through a narrow entrance under room 16. i found this convenient, especially with late returns.
the room was situated above the kitchen , and i could hear noise until late.

lovely reception splendid sandwich
the reception staff were lovely and offered me a cup of tea after my late arrival i really appreciated it. the team remembered my bacon sandwich request for the morning it was a splendid bacon sandwich. i wish i could have stayed longer to enjoy dinner and a proper breakfast
my room was on the ground floor with windows facing the hotel courtyard i could hear all movement from the room above. there was also a strange ticking sound all night which was a little distracting

clicking noises thin walls
The central heating made clicking noises throughout the night! It was difficult to sleep. The room became unbearably hot, even with the radiators turned off. The walls seemed thin. I could clearly hear conversations from the adjacent room. The shower leaked, causing water to spread across the bathroom floor.
