Loud music playing until 1am on a Tuesday. Reception was not helpful when complaining about the noise. No good for a week time business trip. Otherwise staff were very nice and the hotel has a nice charm.

Was very disappointed to find out on arrival that the spa was at extra cost £50 for 2 hours and required booking. This is not clear on this website and was the whole reason we booked this hotel. The hotel itself was very charming and the staff were friendly. This websites needs to state the spa is at extra cost and requires booking, I booked multiple rooms and must say we were all extremely disappointed given the price
