Cons:

• "The room was on the whole clean but a little dusty in places, only came across it when pulling the bedside tables forward mind you to plug the chargers in."
• "We booked a suite including breakfast at the Kings head costing £189, when we arrived we were told that they have a disco on until 12:30 am and that the noise would affect our room until 1:00 am, also they have recently changed their policy so breakfast would be charged extra."
