Years of lack of investment are very evident in the property and a recent change of management meant we were offered 4 free drinks vouchers to somehow compensate that they now couldn't offer breakfast paid for.
The first nights sleep was shocking, because, as we realised in the morning, someone (and that's the polite version) had put the mattress upside down, so we were sleeping on the underside on a mattress that shouldn't be flipped but only spun top-to-bottom! Quite unbelievable! (we flipped the mattress back to the correct position and remade the bed of course!)
The fire door upstairs was jammed open and one downstairs not closed. The kettle cord was too short to plug in so had to be put on the floor to boil!
Not enough room in the en-suite to hang towels for 2 people (hook on door removed) and no toilet roll holder on the wall and no room for a floor-based system; the bathroom door handle was also coming off with all four screws losing their grip of the wooden door.
The shower head holder was loose, and the handle to the shower sliding door only had one of two securing points fixed - one was missing.
This was all a real shame, I lived in Malborough in my youth and wanted to stay there and put money back into the community, as tourism really is one of few incomes other than farming and fishing etc typical of more remote rural areas.
On a positive, the room was clean.
