CheapTickets Verified Review
"We called the property to check if it would be ok to arrive at 10pm - after the stated check-in hours. We were told this would be fine. On arriving at 10pm, we were told “we were cutting it fine” and were given the key to the room. Not exactly a warm welcome. The biggest problem is that it is basically a pub and function room with some rooms stuck on top. There is no door separating the function room downstairs for the first floor corridor the rooms are on. There was a party well underway when we arrived. It was almost impossible to watch television, let alone get any sleep. The music went on until midnight but the noise from partygoers continued until the small hours. We had banked on at least getting a night’s sleep for our £130 before an early morning departure and 8 hour drive south. The mattress was poor quality and the divan topped with a plywood repair job - far from comfortable. The tea cups had not been properly washed after the last guests. I wrote to the manager afterwards to suggest they let guests know if they have a party on, so they can decide whether to look elsewhere. Even better, put a couple of doors in so it doesn’t feel you’re attending the party downstairs. No response."
