The Courthouse Inn

Exceptional

Liked: Very clean, comfortable, good food, friendly hosts.

Beautiful little Inn with lots...

Liked: I booked a room for the night to be closer to a work commitment the following day. The accommodation was a quaint Inn (pub and rooms to rent). The staff were very friendly and accommodating considering I arrived really late and were even able to provide me with ironing facilities for the following morning, at my request.The room was very clean, great amenities (although I have not used any), and the whole space smelled fresh and clean.
Disliked: The room temperature. This was during a heat wave and unfortunately there was no air conditioning or a fan, which would have helped. The breakfast was a bit late for my needs, which meant that I was unable to make use of the 'breakfast included' service, that was reflected in the price. The breakfast was served between 8:00-9:30, but I had to leave around 8:00. However, I don't think it would be fair to hold this against the Inn. I would make sure though that this is clear on the website when booking, so other guests can make an informed decision about their morning.

Wonderful stay, superb staff &...

Liked: The staff were absolutely lovely!The young man who checked us in was super friendly, showed us to our room, offered to carry my suitcase and asked if there was anything else we needed. When we realised we needed an iron I went back to ask and he then delivered the iron and an ironing board to our room. He was fabulous.The lady who then dealt with us at breakfast (I believe she was the owner) was also super friendly, really down to earth and chatty and nothing was too much trouble.The room was a good size, the bed was comfy, the bathroom spacious with a large shower area. Nice touch having the complimentary toiletries and the tea making facilities were really good with a nice selection.Breakfast was beautiful. There was tea & coffee provided along with individual bottles of orange and apple juice, little jars of jam/marmalade and sauces. A selection of cereal was available and then we had a choice of a full English breakfast or something smaller if we'd rather. The full English was plentiful and really tasty.
Disliked: I don't really think there was anything to really dislike about the establishment as a whole.If I had to say something then I would have to say it would have been nicer to have been able to sit out the back garden for longer, but we moved as there seemed to be a few wasps that just wouldn't leave us alone. I don't think there was much that they could have done about that though in fairness as it was a really hot day.
