Tonight we are staying at the Swan Hotel to celebrate my nan's 80th birthday, the town was chosen due to being reasonably central for most and as it is a quiet nice Hampshire town. We were shocked therefore to discover it was the day of the Alresford music festival.
As for the hotel itself, I would dearly love to say that it is a great hotel and that the fact I have just had the worst nights sleep since my daughter was born was simply due to a few inconsiderate guests, however I am afraid that the issue is actually that the Hotel is so creaky and the walls so thin you can here a tortoise sneeze three rooms over.
It is a real shame as despite the fact that the entire staff seems to consist of one young lady, and a few people who sit behind the counter ignoring you, the Hotel and Restaurant were both of good quality.
The trouble started at 12:05 when four very self involved women stopped outside our room for a midnight shout, this woke up our baby, she was just about settled when the people in the room above came back, it took around 2 hours to get our daughter resettled with all the noises. (No Idea why they felt the need to just walk backwards and forwards accross the room for two hours, but apparently they did.)
In summary it is a great place to have a lunch, but would recommend it to heavy sleepers only. Of cause maybe I should simply stick to more moden hotels with stuff such as double glazing and non creaking floorboards.
