Booked Thorpe Thewles Lodge for one night. I was contacted by telephone before my stay to confirm what time i would be checking in and asked if i required breakfast. I received a further text message with directions. I advised i would be arriving late evening to which there was no issue. The B&B is on a farm and up a rugged path. Its very dark and as i had a very heavy downpour on my arrival i missed the turnoff for the access path. This was pure fault of my own as the directions provided by text were accurate. Once i arrived i was greeted by John who was very welcoming. He showed me to my room and advised how i would be able to obtain a meal for the evening. The room was very nice, clean and had coffee making facilities, ironing board iron and fresh towels. The TV also has Netflix which is an added bonus. I had a lovely quiet comfortable stay and would recommend it to anyone.
Our first impression was of a lovely light room with a picture window and well equipped. It was excellent to have an iron and board to freshen up clothes and the bed was really comfortable. However, it was very disappointing only to be able to get barely tepid water for a shower the next morning. That evening the water was really warm but again the following morning the water was barely tepid. Minor disappointments were that I was not tall enough to use the mirror, there was no bedside light on one side of the bed and no shelf for toiletries in the bathroom plus a very badly potholed track to the hotel. At least we had a good nights sleep!
The room we had was beautiful. Only 2 very small issues. 1. Self in ther bathroom to put toiletries on and a small table in the bedroom to put things onto apart from that I would recommend this place to anyone.
This B&B has the potential to be fantastic, very well decorated a home from home, stylish, yet comfy. Had the light outside of room 4 not been blasting through my curtains all night and humming, this would have been 5 out of 5.
Lovely stay, friendly people. Only didnt get full marks for condition because in the middle of doing it up, I'm sure it will get full marks next time we stay. Room was lovely and freshly decorated. Courtesy call to make sure we knew how to get there.
