The room was great value for the money and the bed very comfortable. I slept very well. There was a wedding on and a bit of noise but nothing bad and the hotel do let you know about possible noise from such things and adjoining pubs etc . I was tired and the bed so comfy that I was out and that was it !

Great location, but the room was roasting when I stayed - noted that it was during a heatwave, there was a fan in the room but this was very low powered and there was a tiny opening to the window, but because of this it was very difficult to sleep. Unfortunately no air conditioning.
