It is what it is

Great location, friendly staff but let down by the bed
Pros:

The location was perfect for us attending a wedding. Breakfast was good and the staff were friendly and helpful. Downham Market seemed a lovely town with a good choice of restaurants.

Cons:

The bed was not comfortable. The mattress was very soft and the duvet felt heavy. Also the furniture made the room feel dated.

Good location but shower and wardrobe need attention.
Pros:

Location and parking was good. David who took us to our room was very helpful and informative.

Cons:

Unable to open wardrobe doors as they were either stuck or locked? Shower was the worst I have ever experienced, hardly any pressure, took ages to get wet!

Pros:

Very friendly staff. Beautiful building. Great atmospheric bar. Would happily return.

Cons:

Needed a new mattress on the bed... A cheap investment that would have rated the stay to excellent.. Maybe the owners ought to try sleeping on the mattresses!!

Wouldn’t stay here again, the rooms were awful. Breakfast however was really good. Staff were friendly
Pros:

The staff were really friendly and helpful

Cons:

We booked 2 rooms for 4 adults, of which one was supposed to be deluxe….it was a really small room up in the attic, with two single beds and just enough room to get around, it was dark and dingy and very hot. A fan was supplied which did absolutely nothing. The other room was just as small with two single beds, ( which I must say were comfortable) no curtain up at the window , so woke up really early with the light streaming in. A hot/cold fan was supplied which again did absolutely nothing.
