The room had tea and coffee facilities, en-suite and flat screen TV.|Decided to have a drink in the bar area bar staff were very friendly and polite it was 3pm and the bar was quiet apart from i think was locals enjoying an afternoon beer. I knew it was a lively Bar and asked what time does it stop serving alcohol which i was told around 11 pm.|I went to my room and and got ready for my evening party at the hotel with a similar name.|I'll now finish with the negatives which isn't all the hotels fault.|On arrival i was shown to my room it was very hot ad stuffy the staff had opened the windows to try and reduce the temperature, there was no fan or air conditioning in the room|The room was tired and required updating but sufficient for one night.|On leaving the Hotel i noticed a sign saying that you might hear music in your room over the weekends but this would finish by 11.45 pm.|I arrived back at around 11.15 pm went straight to my room the music was really loud so i decided to go to the bar and have a drink.|I went back to my room at around midnight with the music still blasting out, i shut my windows but it still sounded like i was in the middle of Glastonbury music festival.|The music was turned off around 12.45am, but the noise from the beer garden with people shouting and singing went on for a lot longer.|I finally fell asleep around 3am too be awoken again "This is not the hotels fault" at 6.15am by seagulls, i would not normally want to kill a fly but i would happily of strangled those seagulls.|I asked where i go for my breakfast and was informed that they don't do food.

I feel compelled to warn others about this accommodation. What was advertised on Expedia as a simple, comfortable stay turned out to be one of the most unpleasant experiences I’ve had while travelling.|The room is located directly above a loud bar, full of swearing drunk people. From 5pm until midnight, we were subjected to deafening live music and sports that made the walls and floor shake. After the music ended, the noise continued with shouting, swearing, and arguments from the bar below. It was impossible to relax, let alone sleep, and I genuinely didn’t feel safe. We ended up walking around in the dark, late at night, just to escape the noise.|The room itself was in poor condition. Dirty, dated, and clearly neglected. Both beds had visible stains and filth on the divan bases. The mattresses were uncomfortable — one sagged so badly it felt like I was falling off the bed. Each bed had only one pillow, both flat and worn out. I ended up sleeping on top of the duvet because I couldn’t trust the cleanliness of the mattress given the state it was in.|The bathroom was equally disappointing. The shower light didn’t work, there was mould inside the shower, peeling paint on the ceiling, and no soap in the dispenser by the sink. The tap was loose, and we were given only half a toilet roll for a 3 night stay for 2 people. I messaged the host asking for more toilet paper and clean towels but got no reply. On the third day, we managed to catch a cleaner who told us they don’t usually replace towels during bookings and handed us a toilet roll which was the type used in pub toilet dispensers! That was the only help we received.|We also asked about breakfast and were told the pub doesn’t serve food. Honestly, given the state of the room, that might have been a blessing.|Outside, the property was just as neglected. The stairway was littered with cigarette ends, a filthy bucket full of cigarette butts at the top of the fire exit stairwell which ironically was the entrance to the accommodation, and the beer garden was covered in hundreds more. It was grim. The fire door on the landing, was propped open with a door wedge, it's a health and safety accident waiting to happen.|This place should not be listed on Expedia or anywhere else for that matter. The noise, the lack of cleanliness, the absence of basic hospitality — none of it was disclosed. It felt like we were misled. I wouldn’t recommend this accommodation to anyone. It’s not just disappointing — it’s unacceptable and should...
