There were 2 windows high on the wall into the corridor, which seemed weird as they were open when I got into the room so I could hear everyone in the hallway, they should have blinds etc ideally to stop the light coming in overnight. We also didn't know the main entrance woukd be closed and shuttered up at...

10/10 Excellent

We're an older couple but have stayed at Longs before so returned. They offer free beer in the evenings so the younger people seem to stay in at night ,although sounds carry up to the rooms we just put in our earplugs and didn't hear much. And it seemed by midnight everyone was quiet. The staff and Mrs. Long daughter , Cam are very helpful. We didn't have a table in our room when we arrived but when we said something they brought one in.
