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 😂

Very good location and convenient parking. Very helpful staff. Good breakfast and comfortable room. A pity that there is no lift to go to the rooms. A rail both sides of the staircase would help elderly customers like us manage the steep stairs better.

We could hear the music on Thursday night, but it didn’t prevent us from sleeping. Overall, very comfortable.

So central and great service. Ear plugs provided just in case of music from downstairs but it was a quiet night! Only drawback was the reception on the TV which kept breaking up. Otherwise, a very enjoyable and comfortable stay.

Kim

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
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.

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!

Disliked: Room comfort

Ok but choose your day wisely

A very large comfortable bed with a nice thick duvet. The duvet was needed as the room has no heating other than a small oil radiator that plugs in. NB: it was not plugged in when I got to the room Breakfast was good and the service good as well I couldn’t help but notice earplugs by the side of the bed and was informed by a local that on a Thursday it’s student nice, the venue is open till 2pm and is very noisy. Glad my stay was not a Thursday

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.
