This was definitely the worst stay ever at a hotel. On the 1st night, we got a huge smell of cannabis being smoked in one of the adjacent rooms on the 1st floor. On the 2nd night we were kept awake by the guests staying in the room next door.
I rang the Hotel Reception and he came up and pleaded with them to keep the noise down. This went on from 11:30 - 3am! The worrying thing was that the Hotel Staff member said that it was the neighbour next door who complained. At this point, my wife was deeply upset and worried what would happen next!
As for parking, it was shocking in that the car park was filled with vans all parked in a haphazard manner. Surely common sense and anyone with a sense of decency will park appropriately. This was flagged with the Hotel Reception and his advice was to park in a dark spill out area.
This is clearly a hotel that attracts a certain type of guest.
Nice, clean and renovated (building work is still going on in hotel grounds). Free parking. It has a ground floor and first floor but doesn’t have a lift (we did not have heavy suitcases so no problem for us). The only thing to highlight is that there is no room AC or central air conditioning. So staying in summer months when outside temperature is hot can be uncomfortable.
Bed was queen size and comfortable, room was spacious and clean.
The restaurant and bar which were advertised as facilities were closed for renovation with no notice of works. This meant after arriving we were unable to have an evening meal. The nearest pub was 20 mins drive. Breakfast was awful with take away cup, no fruit pastries or yoghurt. Very poor. Cleanliness, awful. Desk had coffee stains, sink had somebody's facial hair and shower curtain was covered in what looked like blue shower gel.
The member of staff on the front desk was very rude and not at all helpful. Overall the hotel was fairly clean and perfect for us to stay after watching a gig close by. Breakfast was not great, overpriced for the quality.
The hotel itself is still under renovation, but the room was clean and well put together. The room did not have any aircon or fan, and we visited when it was very warm and the rooms were so hot. Restaurant not open yet and there is nothing around that is walkable to get food.

Disliked: Amenities
The room was basic but it was all we needed. The faults were that we had no air con or even a fan and it was extremely warm during the night.
In addition we had numerous people talking outside our room at 2am very loudly which meant we didn’t get to sleep until after we had asked them to move. Not a bad hotel but not worth £110 a night.
