It took so long to check in, with only one member of staff on the desks. The room 131 was tiny and bathroom smaller. The bathroom also had a very strong chemical smell, could of been paint, but was not nice. My room was also next to the a fire exit that had been left open and this was right above a smoking area so that part of the building smelt of smoke. Lastly, when checking out, no one asked how my stay was, so did not have the chance to voice my concerns. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Horrible! Never again the room was above the kitchen and the rubbish bins! Flys and noise made the room unbearable, constant noise from the extraction fans goingon - with the weather being warm and not having air conditioning made the room so hot having needing the window open the only option - staff did move me but it’s was so late and spoilt a very special occasion

Home away from home!
Attentiveness was excellent, customer service was on a high standard! Cannot fault anything with exception of the lack of air conditioning in the rooms. I’m sure it’s a warm and cosy during winter however please invest in air conditioning.

We had a lovely stay but unfortunately the room was very small and very hot with no aircon. A fan was provided but wasn’t enough to cool the room down and I hardly slept due to this. Apart from that it is a lovely building and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Asked for a quiet room-we were given a room which overlooked the gravel driveway entrance to the reception.Footfall and cars driving was very noisy. People leaving and arriving made it very noisy-even at 2am. The room had no A/C and the one window could only be opened 6inches.
