Only stayed one night as we were in the area for a funeral. Lovely staff, comfy bed with "proper" duvet, decent shower and great breakfast. Good, central, location.
The staff were all great especially Samuel who checked us in and helped us sort a few issues out. Room was big bed was comfy easy walk to train station.
Clean big room, (number 4) with well stocked tea/coffee makings. Lots of warnings of the venue playing loud music till late but it didn’t bother me Ona Tuesday night in February. Friendly staff and tasty full English in the morning.
The staff were lovely, very welcoming and knowledgeable. The breakfast was great, scrumptious home cooked hot breakfast, or toast, cereal, pastries, fruit, yoghurt if preferred.

Main issue was noise, being above a nightclub that needs to be much clearer
Staff were professional, friendly and helpful. Parking very easy. Despite the warnings that the bar would be noisy (especially over Halloween) Noise levels were fine, was not disturbed.
Arrived to find that the venue had a nightclub that was open until 3am with very loud music directly below my room.
The staff were non apologetic about this.
I would not have booked if this was advised prior to the booking being taken
A pair of inadequate ear plugs were in the room as a token to the problem.

As mentioned in the hotel details, there is live music until about 3.30. We didn’t sleep much and didn’t stay for breakfast. The room itself was nice, as was the bedding. I didn’t like downstairs.
Very friendly and helpful staff! Rooms are over a late night bar so they quite noisy, which is clearly pointed out, but if you don’t mind that it’s perfect!
This accommodation is in a great location, the staff were friendly and welcoming, the room was well equipped. Our only criticism was the noise, as be aware the area below is used for live bands and DJs and the music didn't stop until 3.00am - noting ear plugs were provided 😂
The noise from the pub downstairs was awful and although we had a room near the rear it was still very loud. The fact that there was a packet of earplugs on the bedside unit should have warned me. The noise was replaced at 1.00-1.30am by shouting and screeming from the street, followed by loud guests coming into the pub/hotel. Breakfast was included but we were so desperate to leave in the morning and put a rubbish night behind us that we left straight away without it.
The staff was very helpful in getting my suitcase up and down the long, steep flight of stairs. I was there early in the week when no music shows were on so noise was no issue. The breakfast was very good. The old fashioned, high-walled bathtub required some practice.

First class manager
My sister and I stayed at The Vestry for just one night whilst we visited our Dad. The venue is undergoing major refurbishment at the moment, that was fully communicated to us and we were offered the option of cancellation, but that was not an option for us. I don’t really want to comment on anything else about our stay other than to advise the location is first rate and to say that the manager, Sam, is an exceptional young man who is kind, professional and just brilliant, and I hope the venue fully appreciates him!
