Stayed 6 nights

Very disappointed: owner/manager extremely rude. Welcome not good . Booked 6 nights but only stayed for one. Room scruffy. We booked a double room but got two singles pushed together which was not comfortable. It was advertised as bed and breakfast but when asked what time breakfast would be told very rudely - WE DONT DO BREAKFAST. The television in our room did not work after 20:30, The TV remote not clean, there was only one very small bedside light which was not really adequate.. Although we only spent one night, they charged us for two. We complained to hotels.com who we booked with but so far, they have not followed up this complaint. Promised a return phone call but none received. Will not use hotels.com again, and would definitely not use The Old Wainhouse Inn. We booked this stay through hotels.com based on the information provided and feel that the accommodation was not as advertised and did not meet the standards we had reasonably expected.

Stayed 1 night

I was ready to love this place, it’s cute and tucked away, perfect for what I needed for the night. However, while trying to take a shower, the water turned off on me. I had to get out, dripping wet, go downstairs into the pub full of dinner time patrons, and talk with someone to address the issue. I spoke with the waitress who was the first person I came across, she went to speak to the manager, who took his time coming to speak with me. He didn’t seem all that concerned with my being inconvenienced. There happened to be a plumber at the bar, who brought in his toolbox and we all trudged up to the room to look at it. He assessed that something needed to be replaced, but would have to wait until Monday. This was a Saturday night. So I was left to hope for the best as it had turned on again in the course of their looking at it. However, once they left, and I tried again, it would turn off on me four more times, and wouldn’t immediately turn back on. Nothing was offered, not a separate room or apology really. It was very disappointing and frustrating and cold.

It's fine for the price. Has free parking. The guests in one of the other rooms appeared to have used all the hot water in the morning, so we and two other guests in a different room had to have cold showers when we got up.
