Comfortable convenient hotel
Great hotel on the edge of town. We parked mid day with no problem and the desk is 24 hours so we left everything in the car and checked in just before midnight with no issue. They'd warned us that there was an event on that night but there was no noise or disruption that we could tell. The bed was the biggest I've seen - very comfortable. The shower was great - good pressure and temperature. The only slight negative was the really creaky floor - but that was probably worse for who ever was underneath us.

The exterior of the building is just lovely, unfortunately the room wasn’t. What is the main thing you want to do in a hotel room? Sleep. That’s simply impossible in room 130. Gawd knows why hotels with perfectly good sized rooms put in the smallest sized bed possible. I sometimes wonder if they just hate their customers. But this wasn’t the main issue, we can sleep in a small double bed but not this one. Ever seen The Exorcist? Well the bed in room 130 groans and moans and goes through to your very soul. Any slightest movement and we were in the film, it needs to be dumped or exorcised. The hotel staff either can’t be bothered to test the bed or simply like their guests to suffer. Needless to say, we barely slept. The pillows were uncomfortable. The bathroom: brown water stains on the door, chipped panels and a badly frosted window facing the carpark. The frosting didn’t meet the window frame, there were clear glass areas. Would you trust that people couldn’t see your shape through the glass, as it was right by the shower? Given the state of the bed, I didn’t, so I tried to hang a cardigan at the window. It needs a blind, otherwise it’s just plain creepy. No mirror in the room so I had to stand in the wardrobe to dry my hair, only the door would not open fully because it was badly fitted. Outside our room in the car park are benches, clearly audible hacking cough (poor person!) in our room early morning, maybe move the benches away from rooms so guests don’t hear th

A fun building dating at one end around 1600 and the other 2016. The Tudor bits are wobbly and pokey as you would expect. The modern bits, modern. Helpful staff and a kitchen that poached eggs nicely for breakfast. For a budget option, this is a good stay.
