Rectory Farm

The first impression continues inside the Rectory. Gentile. One feels you are entering a dear friend's home, with staff. The Harrods tableware matches perfectly with the dining rooms. Looking onto a rustic garden with a plethora of song birds and the screech of the resident Buzzard. Black sheep and horses in the paddock. Wonderful friendly staff, happy to help you as best they can. Roger is a wonderful, caring host. Rectory Farm is to be recomended.

Liked: The location on 25 acres of rural landscape is excellent. Electric gates sets the tone. The main house where we stayed with log fires burning really makes you feel at home. Roger the owner is a gentile man that truly does care that your stay is perfect.
Disliked: The breakfasts, although an excellent Continental with fresh fruits and yoghurts and full on Standard English, the time of one hour was a minimum.

Liked: The ambience was really nice. Room and bath was clean. Bed was comfortable
Disliked: Room was chilly. The wifi did not exist. They charge you for parking, even though you are hotel customer. This is nonsense, also considering that location was not the easiest to access. There was no reception, you have to call to find info. Room key was broken and they charged 20 pounds for a simple key. No one can break a key if there's is no problem with key or lock.

Liked: Very slick organisation. Professional. Great communication and information.
Disliked: This is NOT a criticism, but as you are requesting feedback I would say that the very highly scented air fresheners in the hallway were extremely pungent and are possibly a bit much. We stayed inside and there is one door which seems to need the brake fixing as it was banging rather than closing slowly. This didnt detract from our stay but is mentioned as helpful feedback.
