We stayed in room three in the main building. It’s the shabbiest room we’ve ever stayed in. The carpet going upstairs was absolutely filthy and was an indication of the state of the room. It couldn’t have seen a lick of paint for twenty years and there were stains on the walls that looked like a drink had been split and had run down them. The bedding was clean but the bed was so hard we were tossing and turning to avoid pressure points. Every hour there was a loud noise for about ten seconds, which seemed to be a pump. The bathroom seemed to be clean but I couldn’t be confident that the shower was because it was so shabby, so we didn’t use it; luckily, we were only staying one night. Kingsclere is lovely but we won’t stay here again.
