outside noiseno response
The noise from patrons outside went on until 11 PM. They then moved inside so the noise continued thanks to the music. I tried calling the emergency number multiple times but I got no response. Maybe earplugs should be included with the room.

Really good Stay

The staff were very helpful . I asked for extra towels, and they arrived promptly. Breakfast included menu items, such as a full breakfast prepared by Joe. All staff provided excellent service, I must say.
The pub sign attached to the room created substantial noise in the wind, disruptive.
