4We stayed here on NYE for £85 including breakfast - which I thought was a bargain in itself. On arrival we struggled to find a parking space in the cosy car park at the rear of the property so we had to find street parking just a stones throw which was free after 6pm but chargeable by pay and display ticket from 9am. Trying to acces the building for the hotel reception was a little like a Crystal Maze exercise, it wasn't well signposted at all and that is really my only complaint about the hotel. It probably took us 10 minutes (no joke!!) to find in the dark! If you do book, the entrance for the hotel is at the rear, through the beer garden. The staff at reception were very friendly and our room was perfect. I was slightly concerned at first as it was facing the road and I thought the traffic noise would keep me awake, but the windows were sound proofed well enough for it not to bother me. Very nice room, comfortable bed, the bathroom was excellent, very clean, not a bad thing I can say about it. Breakfast was continental and was the best inclusive continental spread I've been offered. Again the staff were friendly and were only too happy to help and get tea, coffee or a morning after the night before cure! I couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay on NYE. Very welcoming. Highly recommend it and for the money, it was well above average.
