Liked: Staff & service, amenities
The room was lovely, and re entry decorated. The bath and shower was not functioning properly. The water didn't run hot, and on the first day we had a tepid shower. The tap fell off in my hand. The shower head was full of timescale and which meant water went at odd angles.

Disliked: Amenities
The location was right for us to attend St Andrew’s church.
This is a hotel attached to a sports bar. The car park is tiny. Had to park outside a shop and walk to hotel.
Check in was so noisy and loud could not hear what was said.
Restaurant was closed for private wine tasting. This was not on website.
Music played loudly until 02:05am when I rang the pub and asked how much longer the music would play. The person who answered said they were not aware anyone was in.
This was worrying as booked via website and completed registration form, had hotel needed to evacuate during the night, would I have been forgotten.
Loud, noisy place. Room was nice as was person at check in, but lack of Restaurant and noise level means I would not recommend.
It should be made clear that one of the bars is a sports bar
