"Great location , staff friendly, parts of the hotel a little dated but really much as seen so no complaints"

The Merchant's House, BW Signature Collection

8/10 Good

"The hotel was nice, everything was clean and in good shape, however after arriving at 7pm and hoping for an early night we were met with an extremely loud FUN FAIR parked RIGHT in front of the hotel with no prior warning from reception. We were assured it would be shut down by 10pm and it was, however, they then spent 2 hours breaking the whole thing down and were banging and clanging until midnight. Then the street sweepers arrived bright and early around 6am to clean up after them. Not a very restful night."
