charming stay

i liked the fresh milk provided in the fridge. the cooked choices at breakfast were beyond the 'full english'. there were sufficient parking places for each room, i appreciated the location near pubs, shops, and the train station.
i could hear guests upstairs talking and the shower didn't work until i fixed it.

Mixed Feelings About This Stay

excellent locationgin tastingpayment requests
The location was excellent for exploring the area.
I was disappointed the gin tasting mentioned online was unavailable. Staff did not mention it despite me asking about the bar. My wine left in the room was thrown away after I planned to finish it the next day. This felt wasteful and inconsiderate. I also found the multiple requests for payment of my extra night booked direct to be quite odd.
