Comfortable Bed Saved the Night

The bed was extremely comfortable and was the best part of the room. The amenities were nice and the room was as depicted in the photos. The welcome was pleasant but cooled somewhat once they realised we’d booked through Hotels.com. We were told we wouldn’t get breakfast because of it. That’s fine but perhaps phrase it as “so that’s room only tonight” instead. Noise carries throughout. Whilst we couldn’t hear the noise directly from the pub, we could hear the conversation of people on our floor and the floors creaking throughout the night when people moved around. It wasn’t too bad but the discomfort caused would be subject to the behaviours of your fellow guests when you stay. The most disappointing aspect was the bathroom. Looks fine but function was poor. The shower was lukewarm, the toilet was fickle and required extra attention and the tap over the vanity was too short resulting in water over the bench top instead of on your hands, etc. Overall, the stay was satisfactory for the one night because the bed was so good.

Great stay

The room was very spacious and clean. Good range of high quality amenities in the room. Staff very friendly and attentive. Free parking provided and free breakfast with a good selection and high quality. However, it was a suprise at check out that drinks (coffee & juice) were not included in the free breakfast! Sort of put a damper on what would have been a lovely stay. Would have been useful to be told this before we ordered.
