high cost bar smell
The cost was a problem. I paid £170 each night but the room had no bath. It also lacked a fridge and view. The courtyard got noisy as people walked through. Parking cost extra since there isn't a car park. The bar smelled like old food and food looked average. I feel disappointed about the money I spent.

i got a double room, it was lovely and spacious. the staff was very nice and helpful.
the wi-fi wasn't great! but that's pretty standard in hotels, i find. housekeeping came only the first day to change towels etc, then they didn't seem to come again, inconvenient.
