noisy floorboards payment error
I must say, the noise was something else. The floorboards are not just noisy. They seem to amplify every creak. Someone walking down the hall at any hour resulted in me waking up, a good experience at 1 AM and again at 6 AM. Talk about restful. Though they noticed the error and processed a refund, I'm still waiting for it.

private car park cute staff blue badge parking peony path
the location was excellent with the theatre just across the street i found the private car park very convenient. the staff were cute and showed me directly to my room after my matinée. i found extra touches added to my experience such as blue badge parking and peonies along the path.
I visited the entrance off the street and found the reception was on the first floor. Better signage would be useful.
