Music from pub until 11pm , right annoying and then again from 8am from staff in the bar, this place has no consideration for its guests upstairs, avoid unless you like awful bass coming through the building.

Amazing stay at Enchanted manor, from the moment we walked in the vibes were warm and friendly. The food and drinks were delicious and the red squirrels and badger feeding in the evenings was an amazing experience. Could not recommend this place more.
