Don't stay sat if wanting quiet nights
On arrival check in was ok , went to see room , tiny , went back to desk and explained I didn't book the ( small comfort room ) but a normal double , was told not much difference ! , asked if we could pay to upgrade , desk manager said we could upgrade and pay for one night which was kind of him , then told us would be a disco that night until 11.30 ish , unfortunately wish we had been made aware before booking as we were unable to cancel booking and get refund as already checked in , Room was better but not a very large room, we went down to restaurant and had a wonderful meal , best part of hotel the food was great Unfortunately on returning to room disco had started and omg !! The noise was horrendous , room was directly above bar and was like we were in disco , extremely loud with massive base , could not listen to TV , nor get to sleep , went on till almost midnight , at one point told husband I wanted to leave hotel , Breakfast on the Sunday was buffet style and ran out of hot food twice , out for day on returning to room was a bug on bed , did tell desk on checkout , was asked to email pic over but not heard anything from them ! Breakfast Monday morning was served , if you're hungry then it's not going to fill you , Literally one of each item , sausage , egg , bacon , beans ,only half tomato,, the Xmas decs were lovely which was nice to see , Overall nice hotel ,restaurant meals were lovely , need to let you know on booking if disco etc

We liked everything but the food. Really stunted/limited choice. Same menu lunch and evening. 2nd night had steak pie, I've bought better ones in Lidl, it was dry, hard over cooked. Veg were so obviously done in microwave, like chewing rubber. We went as a couple but ended up eating separately as we had to wait for a second serving, not much better than first. After paying good money for half board expected better than that. Ill not be staying there again, sad, because rooms were excellent. Perhaps separate menus and a decent, experienced chef would help

The bar area was very nice, lots of seating but not overcrowded. Nicely buzzing atmosphere. The room however, was a bit dated, there was a stained cover on the bed. But the bed and pillows were comfy.

An interesting hotel for an overnight business trip. Staff were very friendly, received a complimentary drink, room & decor wasn't the usual bland chain hotel. Would definitely stay here again.

Overall excellent. The room was small but lovely. Downsides… access, upstairs and downstairs, was rather awkward and the WiFi did not work.

Staff were friendly. The room had the facilities I’d expect, but the bed was a 4ft bed up pushed up against a radiator and wall. I expect at least a double bed in a double room. There was enough space for one.

Basically this is a pub with some rooms. The rooms are great - very well appointed. The problem is that the bar is too noisy - impossible to sleep. Not consistent with a £300 a night room

Early closing in bar.
Have stayed at this hotel many times. As usual, everything good apart from one key issue. After eating out each evening returned to the Poetic Licence Bar for a night cap only to find that it actually closed each evening on the dot at 10.30pm, despite the room brochure stating 11pm for midweek. Staff very forceful in pointing this out.
