I would use this venue again and recommend it.
Pros:

Friendly welcome, nice room although a little on the tired side. Lots of character in the building. Easy to find and good parking. Very good meal, good beer. Didn't see or hear any ghosts!

Cons:

The only downside was the kitchen extract fan on the outside wall of the room. This ran all night and the humming noise reminded me of my time on a ship! I assume this had been left on in error as it must have cost a fortune in electricity.

Disappointed
Pros:

The staff were friendly and welcoming

Cons:

The ‘suite’ we were staying in was grubby; there were cobwebs everywhere, and a dead bee was stuck near an upper window - caught in the cobwebs. It must have been there for weeks.

In two of the three connected rooms, none of the electrical sockets worked.

It was not far from the Haynes Motor Museum which was the reason for my visit.
Pros:

The quirkiness of the building and that it had a bath which was good for a detox

Cons:

Owing to weather the tv satellite was on the fritz

Rating easily improved with more thorough and thoughtful cleaning of the room
Pros:

The room was warm and spacious and well furnished. Big bed and nice towels. Appreciated the tea making facilities (but only 2 T-bags for a double room!) Plenty of parking and very convenient for Sparkford Hall

Cons:

The room felt a bit dirty and tired - the bath had a scum ring, the sealant was very mouldy. I think the bed was clean but the quilt smelt strongly of another person so it felt like sleeping in a stranger's bed.
