Hartford Hall is a pleasant looking pub/hotel, which is easy to find. Car park spaces are very tight and limited in the main car park, so I parked in the lower overflow, which meant lugging all my cases etc up to bar area where Reception was based
I was given a key and told the accommodation was in a separate block at the other side of the property, which meant lugging cases etc outside again and walking to the block (in the rain). Its not far, but not what you need after a long day.
The entrance to the accommodation block is not inviting and the roof was leaking into the corridor by the door. Corners of the corridor are bashed and it smelt musty. I was not hopeful about the room… …but was hugely surprised. The room was spotless, nicely decorated and the bathroom was very clean.
Unfortunately, the pub stops serving food at 8pm, which I thought was ridiculously early for a ‘hotel’, so cannot comment on the quality of the food on offer. I ended up getting a pizza delivered.
The big issue… …NOISE!
I got very little sleep due to the noise from the adjacent rooms above and at the side! Nellie the elephant must have been staying above as every footstep thudded through the ceiling. I had someone who snored so loudly in the next room which woke me up and on the other side I had a couple who must have been deaf as their TV was so loud.
I was too tired and didn’t want to get up and get dressed to go and complain.
When checking out, I was never asked if everything was OK
