Another great stay at Three Shires. Although a limited evening menu, food was delicious. Breakfast was the same, maybe put out juices and jams so people can help themselves. Didn’t mind that there wasn’t cereals as the portion of breakfast was huge. Big shout out to the staff

Stayed here for one night, had the worst night's sleep in a while, every hour without fail a group of people (that sounded like a herd of elephants) would start marching down the hallway being incredibly loud, this woke both me and my partner up throughout the night. The hotel had quite a bad smell throughout it also which hit you the minute you entered he property. The water pressure in the shower was next to nothing, it was barely a drizzle. The only positive thing was the bed was fairly comfortable however this is irrelevant when youre waken up every hour throughout the night anyway.
