AVOID - poor communication

I booked several rooms for friends all visiting Shindig festival. Due to personal circumstances within the space of a couple of months, i forgot to cancel some of the rooms for those who couldnt attend. When checking in the receptionist notified me of one room on a separate booking but NOT a further two under the same hotels.com booking reference which i had added in my friends name. The result was a hefty charge for both rooms for the whole three nights, which they made me pay! We stayed for 3 nights and at not one point was i notified. I am devastated. It was an extremely bad ending to what should have been a joyous time and a VERY costly error which could have been mitigated. I would avoid this hotel at all costs. Its obvious they didnt advise me so they could sting me with the full amount. Honestly, who can afford to pay for three hotel rooms for three nights but only need one!

Convenient for attending family event nearby. The room was pleasant and well equipped except for shower which needed fixing. Continental breakfast options quite limited. The evening meal was good and staff helpful. But there was no custard for the crumble.

Average and very loud

The hotel was fine, slightly dated but clean with a great shower. The bed was hard and not hugely comfortable. The worst part was that on the Saturday night the hotel had a huge function which was incredibly loud until past midnight. We were told on check in but that was useless as we had no other option by then! There were lots of drunk people blocking the entrance and smoking right outside so the entrance smelt bad and the outside tables were still covered with cigarette ends and empty bottles I the morning, also there was no parking reserved for hotel guests so we could not park when we got back. No staff were on hand to help either. Despite not being part of the event, no effort was made to put us in a room away from the event - in fact we were directly above the event room.
