1768 Country Inn

Booked for 3 nights and put in the Cranmore room: we left after 1 night taking the financial hit..... a good decision. The room was small and the thin frilly curtains totally inadequate. The paintwork and window frames were in a dreadful state and flat surfaces were dirty. Tiny television and a squeaky old bedstead. The bathroom was a disgrace - small and filthy. The tap fell off in the shower making it difficult to turn off the water. Breakfast was nothing special, they can’t even be bothered to cut the rind off melon and there was no 2% milk. Perhaps if the owners / staff spent more time on cleaning and maintenance and less time rearranging the excessive, twee decorations, this inn might improve. My advice is to find somewhere else.

Had reserved Cranmore Room. Got there and was given room #105 ?? Was taken out back of the Inn to a converted bldg. When the door was opened, the musty smell from the room was overwhelming. Faucet at bathroom sink were in reverse, faucet handles in bathtub FELL off while trying to operate. Shower head was for people under 5 ft in height, mini fridge door had wedge under it so it would stay closed. Closet in bathroom, the floor was filthy, there was a small fan in closet that did not work so why it was there I don't know. Windows had not seen a cleaning in years with the exception of the rain washing the outside of them. Headboard of bed wasn't attached so it wiggled. No curtains, just very OLD and DIRTY mini blinds that did nothing to keep out the light. Room was like a studio apt, but there was no pots,pans, silverware or dishes. Sign in Main Inn stated NO FOOD in rooms, ?? So why the stove and microwave in room ?? Mattress itself was about 30 years old, and very uncomfortable. Even though you were out in the back, the street noise was quite evident. Heater it had a red blinking light on it and when reading it it indicated FILTER, so either the filter was dirty, or not there at all. Smoke detector did not work. Was afraid to turn on so called heater for I was afraid it would emit CO gases. When telling the Innkeeper about the issues, she was like, what, I don't believe you. She either has not gone in there for a while, or can play ignorant very well. Checked out early for we were supposed to stay 2 nites but after that first nite, there was no way we were going to repeat it. DO NOT STAY HERE !!!

Our room was a converted porch which was next to the road. It was so noisy all night long! Curtains did not keep out the light. Room smelled and toothpaste splatter was all around the sink from the previous guests! No spoons in sugar bowls so everyone used the ones they were using to eat. JUST GROSS!
