and bar area is very welcoming and comfortable to lounge in

mollie’s bar and restaurant is also fantastic value for money - portion sizes are well worth the money

no kettle in the room. water for hot drinks in corridor or bar area. not a real issue in a way.

of a lack of places to sit in bar - although part reserved for private function

a bit pricey and bar could have a better range of beers and spirits

bar and restaurant was fab

we did not eat here in the evening but we used the bar for pre-show drinks & breakfast in the morning

sadly the bar was closed due to a private party so we weren t able to enjoy the facility

the music in the downstairs bar was quite noisy until 2am but this is made very clear when booking and didn't bother us

only negative would be the fact that it was above a bar and karaoke rooms which you could hear

mind the bar night dates

we were there on a wednesday so can t say if the bar gets noisy on weekends

very friendly bar staff and helpful

the bar was quite noisy until 23:00 (i think these events are only on thursdays).

location, good a/c, nice bar and restaurant, helpful staff

ich i didn't have time to take advantage of, but

the whole ambience of the hotel was lovely. i especially enjoyed my morse bar cocktail!

the morse bar and its history.

would have liked some more white wines on the bar menu ie pinot grigio.

the opening times of the bar downstairs were a bit obscure.

really, we personally don't like buffet breakfast which is why we didn't have one, maybe the bar could have opened a little later than half ten

a shame the bar wasn't being operated on saturday evening.

close to the bar the eagle and child

t enough alternatives in the area)
