Unfortunately, the weather had turned very cold and the central heating in room No.3 was playing up, when arriving the room was chilly, however, after adjusting the radiator thermostats it was ok. The following morning the rad in the bathroom was cold and I couldn't get it to come on, I told the reception and on returning later that day it was working ok. The following morning there was no heating at all and it was freezing, I told reception and her response was this is usually the warmest room, which did not impress me.

Lovely and historic old inn. A little spoiled by the banging doors outside our room (Clement).
