I quite enjoyed my visit to this village, however it was only as a mid-point rather than changing hotels.
Food and service was lovely, shame I missed on trying out some of the cake! Breakfasts were good, plentiful and freshly made. Service warm and friendly.
It hurts me to say the room didn't quite have the same impact as the business did in general and thus I had to mark down my score. The room evidently hadn't been used for some time, or just hadn't been cleaned; grime evident on the surfaces and kettle lid gave it away. (UHT milk slightly opened and soured!) Not to mention the carpet hadn't been vacuumed in some time; still not done whilst I was there. The bed was in need of new linen, the mattress is passed its best by a long way and the same applied for the floor mat in the bathroom.(ripped and barethreaded at the edges) The door fitting to the shower was as good as it will ever be, but should have a note to tell any occupant about the 2mm gap by the hinge meaning the water will flood out during any showering. I cleaned up and realised afterwards by pointing the shower head more vertically.
If it had been priced in accordance with the state it was in, I would have forgiven the above, but at the price offered, it was disgraceful. (Premier Inn is available at these prices for two nights)
Im hoping the other rooms were in a better state than 1a, but at least the owners have the impetus to get that room refurbished. Otherwise a friendly stay.
