Lovely staff and lovely room

Lovely friendly staff, garden room was lovely and clean and well equipped….only problem we had was the heating was set at 35 degrees upon arrival and it took a while to cool it down with windows and doors open. Would stay here again without a doubt

Must try harder

When informed of my experience the staff moved me to a garden room, which whilst detached, still had average cleanliness - sit in the bath and view the dust and broken tiles, lipstick on walls near plug sockets. My original room (30) had broken thermostatic valves on the radiator, so fixed in the hot position, so wi dows open was a must. Cigarette ash and burns noticed on window cill, and the icing on the cake - a 'gift' in the toilet. Breakfast; microwaved scrambled eggs on 1 slice of toast day 1. Day 2 - i heard guests commenting how cold the bacon, sausage and mushrooms were, even the fired egg, so did without. Get the basics right and the rest sorts itself out.

Disappointing

Staff were lovely, breakfast was very good quality, but the room wasn't very clean and could do with some tlc, (mirrors dirty, something sprayed down the wall, carpet coming away at the door, thick dust on woodwork, curtains had stains on them) Very loud with a party downstairs so we didn't get to sleep until after 11.30.
