This was the third time I stayed at this hotel and sadly this was probably my worst experience. Previously I have stayed in the Carriges (fabulous room, spacious and luxurious) and then I stayed in the Coach house (quirky & cute but very thin walls).
This time I was allocated a room within the main courtyard. Room 20 to be exact.
At first I was amazed, the room itself is effectively a suite, had it's own lounge with a long corridor stretching down to a spacious bedroom. The bathroom had a full bath as well as a stand alone shower. I was genuinely very happy with the room allocation.
However, this changed firstly when the occupants of the room above the bedroom arrived, which I believe is room 19. The entrance for this room is directly outside the bedroom for room 20 and the floor above is not quiet.
Next came the staff who were using the gravel pathway that ran directly down the side of the bedroom and past the bedroom window in the evening and then again from 6am the following morning.
But these are both minor in comparison to the fire escape light x 2 in the room. Something I didn't become aware of until I literally got in to bed so it was too late to be changing rooms. There are one of these lights in the hallway and then one in the bedroom, almost above the bed and they have a green light on them that light up the entire bedroom. so you tuck yourself up into bed, ready to sleep, switch the room lights off and you can still see everything but with a green glow.
