The Ascott

Close location to good cafés and evening food places, also close to public transport. Parking available if you come by car. Friendly staff, comfortable room, clean.

Beds are super comfortable. Excellent nights sleep.

Tv is very dated and couldn’t get any channels without scanning.

The house is full of history and has very interesting décor. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean. The toiletries provided included hand wash and shower gel, but there was no shampoo. However, if you are only staying for a couple of nights, this is not really a problem. Breakfast is served in a beautiful room, although unfortunately we didn’t have the opportunity to try it.

Ok place but no full English like I expected when I booked breakfast included. The chair in the room was dirty and hadn’t been changed as we’d asked to arrive early due to us needing to be at a venue we’d booked, and check in was extremely later than others at 4pm. The guy explained he hadn’t had time to change the chair cover and said he’d do it when we went out. We didn’t want him coming into the room when we had all of our stuff there so told him to leave it. I then noticed the chair cover set which was out to use, I tried doing it myself but quickly noticed that the arms on that cover were minging too. I ended up telling the guy not to bother sorting the chair, we just won’t use it I said. I also told him I didn’t want anyone entering the room when we had left our belongings in there. I wouldn’t stay here again. The breakfast was disappointing but the lady was very jolly and lovely who brought our toast and tea.

Breakfast. Dirty chair and how they wanted to come into the room to sort it after we’d left our belongings in there.
