Old Parsonage Hotel

It was a perfect weekend.

Liked: Everything.

Lovely comfy room with everything...

Liked: Fabulous room. Booked a classic room and were lucky enough to have a little private courtyard. Bed linen, bed, rainfall shower were lovely. Parking was easy as we'd pre-booked. Relatively good location.
Disliked: We didn't book breakfast but when we went through the restaurant at breakfast time it seemed a little formal. Even though we pre-paid, on checkout we were asked if we would like to pay a service charge (we had not eaten or had a drink in the hotel) and they said it was for housekeeping tips. I felt obliged to pay (not that I was pressured at all) but feel it is worth noting. Our room had a lovely outside seating area (room 10) but it was next to staff entrance so was a little noisy. It also backs on to a church which was quite noisy late afternoon of people hanging around.

Disliked: Menu was limited for me- a Canadian. Luckily I am not a vegetarian. Fruit outside the room much appreciated.
