Mixed feelings About my stay

huge bathroomhigh noise leveluncomfortable sofa
The room was quite clean. It also featured a huge bathroom.
The noise level was EXTREMELY high due to the beer garden not being cleared after closing. Noise persisted until 1 in the morning. the sofa bed was not a true sofa bed but rather a click-clack style sofa. It proved uncomfortable and seemed suitable only for someone of short stature.

Mixed Experience at This Hotel

friendly stafflimited choicesunclean hotel
The staff were friendly, I will give them that.
The breakfast choices were very limited, a real disappointment. I also noticed a strange urine smell near the staircase, off-putting. The entire hotel looked quite unclean, with sticky tables, and doors that needed cleaning.

I found the staff quite lovely, especially the attentive ladies serving. They were really friendly! i loved that room 6 had a fabulous separate lounge. breakfast provided a great choice and met all dietary requirements. parking being free and very close to the pub was quite handy too.
The narrowness of the twin beds was noticeable. I was like i might fall out, honestly.
