Lovely building , staff excellent room clean , Bathroom was awful toilet seat broken ie Not attached properly and slid on sideways , The shower hose attached to fitting was broken so water spouted out from there . It was obvious that the staff had tried to clean best possible, but it was worn out and in need of replacing. Toilet was fitted between shower cubicle and the wall it was to narrow for me to sit on , my shoulders were wider than the gap If the bathrooms were better the trip would have been excellent rather than just ok .

14th Century Charm

I had a really good stay - the breakfast and service was excellent and room very comfortable. I did find the room a little too warm though. The main light was not working and there were no rubber bath mats to stand on in the shower. I was however given a bath towel to use instead. I was hoping to make use of the extra pillows in the wardrobe, but unfortunately there was a vomit-like smell in the wardrobe which had permeated the pillows. Consequently I didn't hang any clothes in there. The staff were lovely and I was made to feel very welcome. I would return if visiting that part of the country again.
