underwhelming visit

poor soundproofing late night noise
the location worked well for exploring local area.
the room wasnt very soundproof. i could clearly hear the pub downstairs until late at night. the description said the rooms were soundproof but that seems to address sounds coming from outside. this was not ideal.

pleasant experience

sound proof room beautiful garden good atmosphere
the room was sound proof and very clean. i found the back beer garden to be beautiful. it had a great atmosphere with people of all ages present.
there was a bit of a wait to check in because reception was dealing with another matter. no one else was available to assist at that time.
