Easthampstead Park

What's happened to it

Liked: Lush location and looks impressive.
Disliked: The corridors needed a hooverThe room needed a proper clean and there was long black hair on the face towelsRoom needed aircon although there was a small argos type fan that didn't really do anything.Breakfast was cold and I cannot describe the bacon other than terrible.The lawn hedges need a cut and to be straight, it would have been nicer with more flowers and colour. I have stayed before and its been faultless every time. I can only assume they had staff issues and cut backs.
