Nice hotel
Very spacious and comfortable room. Clean and plenty of towels in a large well equipped bathroom. The only drawback was a very noisy extractor fan. Everything else was exemplary.

Cosy hotel
Very cosy and old English style. Breakfast mediocre but that's what it's like at most hotels. And I have visited a lot of hotels in Europe.

So bad I got the train home and didnt stay. The room itself was very nice. The bathroom was excellent. All clean. Staff on reception lovely. The problem started at about 7 pm when the room next to mine filled up with at least 4 people who were partying. The walls are paper thin, it was as if they were in my room. At 9pm I asked to be moved to another room. All that was available was one at the front, which meant even more noise when the club opposite closed at 3am. I went back up to the room and the party in the room next door to mine (i was in number 35) was just the same. The anxiety of staying and not knowing when it was going to stop meant i had to hand my keycard back at 10pm and leave without staying the night. I hot the train home. This is a party hotel for noisy people. Dont stay there if you want to sleep. You can hear a fart through the walls. I emailed to ask for some kind of refund and heard nothing back. This noise was in no way connected to the wedding disco on the ground floor. That couldnt be heard in my room. The noise was from the room next door.
