    Not really an issue of great concern but I would have liked some mint tea or fruit tea in the selection in the room.

    The set up is ideal with self check in. Beautiful old building with lovely rooms. We stayed in the top floor and had nice views over the area. Great breakfast too.

    The stairs outside were difficult to negotiate carrying a large bag. The Wi-Fi was patchy. The thickness of the walls didn’t permit good connections. When near the router the signal improved.

    Tastefully appointed, capturing the olde world charm of yesteryear with modern additions that added to the experience rather than detracting from it.

    Breakfast and the property in general.

    The lady serving the breakfast was very helpful and did her job with a smile. Full marks to her. Parking is a issue. We struggled to park in front of the house as instructed.

    Nothing to do with the propery - but the weather was unseasonably cold for late April!

    Spacious comfortable room. Entry arrangements worked. Parkng was a little tight but perfectly acceptable. Breakfast good and service excellent. The availability of a free map of the town hepled us to explore.

    We couldn’t fault it

    We loved the atmosphere at this property. Everything was really comfortable and welcoming You could tell everything had been really well thought out. Beautifully furnished. Usually it is difficult to sleep on the first night but not here ! The breakfast was very good. We would definitely recommend The Old Rectory as a base. Nice that you can use a lovely garden area too

    Being blamed for the WiFi not working, otherwise everything was fine.

    Everything apart from the WiFi not connecting to my laptop or 2 x phones and the owner blaming my equipment - for 3 separate devices to not connect would tell most people it's the WiFi not connecting as it should.

    The code texted to me gave the 4 digits but didn’t mention to add star. The Booking.com site with the owner’s photo stated check-in could be at 13.00 but the owner said this was incorrect and lectured me about no hotels / B&Bs offering check-in before 15.00… not so! My issue was with what was clearly stated on Booking’s site; I hope he has since corrected this and also the error about the period of the house - 1842 is Victorian, not Georgian.

    My spacious room with 2 windows offering pleasant views; the pretty fireplace in the “Green” room. An agreeable walk through The Walks into town.

    1. No option to have check-in instructions 3 days prior to arrival - this would have alleviated a lot of anxiety. 2. No mention that the grandfather clock could be heard chiming at every hour - in the daytime, this would be delightfully quaint, but would be most unwelcome if you are a light sleeper trying to sleep at night.

    Location was in a nice, mostly residential area, close to a lovely park. The hotel owner kindly agreed to my request for a top floor room. The room itself (Magnolia, large double bed) was beautiful & both the room & ensuite shower room were very clean. The self check-in worked well. The owner was very kind when I rang in a panic the day prior to arrival, to ask for the check-in instructions - it turns out that this is not usually texted to your phone until the AM of check-in day! As someone who plans itineraries, this was not ideal, but the hotel owner promptly sent me the instructions after a quick chat on the phone. All resolved, thankfully. All in all, a pleasant stay.
