Ok for a quick overnight, wouldn't want to stay for longer duration
Pros:

Ancient building. Good effort made to bring the accomodation up to date. Plenty of electrical outlets for chargers etc. Bedding clean and fresh on comfy bed

Cons:

Ensuite bathroom was really small. barely room to stand inside. Grinder/macerator toilet flush :-(
Handle on door too close to the door frame to grip without smashing your hand on the doorframe.

Only venetian blind so not too dark. tricky to operate because the slat closing mechanism was broken off.

The staff were great, the facilities I believe I was cross contaminated with gluten I might be wrong
Pros:

The staff were excellent. The food look very nice, it was very clean and the staff were very accommodating.

Cons:

Most importantly, I explained I had a gluten problem. I hadn’t eaten that day and I just asked for boiled potatoes. I was told the chef had put a bit of butter on them but became increasingly ill through the night. The reason I’d come down there was for battle the Battle of Hastings, I didn’t get to go. I had to drive home. Sadly, people don’t understand how cross contamination can occur, they were very accommodating.
The bed was terrible. It was clean, but I could fill the springs through the. mattress.
What I think is very sad is it’s very well placed the property a little bit of effort. The other thing that happened was I was using the shower and I don’t think there was a pump attached to it. The shower flow kept going to nothing.
