I loved how much character the building had! the pub food hit the spot after a long day. car parking only cost £12 a night. it was just 50 metres away too. Super convenient!
Check-in took ages. I waited twenty-five minutes. i stood around in the bar area. the manager told me someone would let me in if i called after 1:00 am, but nobody answered when i got locked out.

the staff was helpful! they gave us a full runthrough of the site and told us all the info we needed. the room was beautiful, and there was a great range of food and drinks available in the restaurant bar. the hot shower was also nice!
The noise levels were high at night. The music went on until 1 am. i could not get to sleep most of the night because of the music. the mattresses were cheap and uncomfortable. I could feel the springs.

spacious roomcomfortable bedhelpful stafflively atmosphere
The double room was spacious and clean! The bed was particularly comfortable, ensuring a restful night. Staff members were helpful. They provided directions and recommendations. The pub offered a range of beers and meals, and the atmosphere was lively but not overwhelming.
The stairs to the rooms are steep, so pack light.
