Stayed 5 nights

The property is a bit dysfunct in places so more frequent maintenance and upkeep would be required. E.g., the white bathtub surface was peeling in places and the wash basin taps were a bit leaky. The bathroom towel rack didn't heat up when it was supposed to. The duvet covers somehow didn't seal close so the duvet escaped the cover over the night. Toiletries came in little bottles and hand soap came in bars, which were both a bit inconvenient to use. We were there over a stormy weekend and the windows were a bit leaky to the wind. Furniture was overall a bit wobbly. Housekeeping did one thing which was dumping my pyjamas onto the floor, which I was quite shocked to have discovered when I came back after the day. Breakfast was tasty and the staff were very friendly and accommodating, so that made up for it.

I stayed here for two nights and had no issues except the toilet stopped flushing but this was sorted within minutes of my mentioning it to a staff member. The staff were all excellent and are very courteous and polite. The rectory itself is old and the rooms and decor are not modern but this just adds to the charm in my opinion. All said and done it’s a nice place to stay at a very reasonable price.
