Best rooms
Request a first-floor room facing the garden side (away from the main road). The lodge has no lift, so first floor avoids ground-floor footfall and is quieter than the upper floor where roof noise and stairs creak are common.
Request a room on the first floor, facing away from the main road to reduce street noise.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the entrance or parking area – you'll hear people arriving, car doors, and gravel crunch. Also avoid any room directly above the bar or dining area (if present) due to evening noise.
Avoid any room at the rear near the service entrance or shared facilities, as these can be noisy.
