Don't be fooled by the appearance of the exterior of this grand old house, inside is dark, dusty and in desperate need of some maintenance and restoration. |We booked and paid for a two night stay, the breakfast interrogation was unusual in the respect that in most B&B establishments there is generally a selection laid out to choose from, not so here. |The Amelia room is where we were initially assigned, on entry the lock was in need of repair and tricky to gain entry. The bathroom lock did not engage at all, the door had to be secured by a toiletry bag. The room was tired, dusty and shabby.|The jug in the room did not fit under the tap and had to be filled over the bath and the biscuits were stale.|All of which we could put up with until we turned the bedding down and discovered body hair and other matter, the give away was that the pillow cases were crushed and crumpled, unlike clean bedding which is smooth and crisp.|We alerted Thomas, out host, who came within about ten minutes and his indifference and lack of empathy was palatable. |However he moved us to the Christina room which also was tired, shabby and had a shower over a spa bath set up in the bedroom, hardly suitable for a pair of mature guests. |Breakfast was not enjoyable, Thomas was uncomfortable, obviously expecting confrontation but instead we moved on after just one night. Poor Thomas seems lost in his position as host and is remarkably similar to Basil Fawlty.
