Cransley

I booked the king size studio number 7 for four nights. I was really impressed with the size of the room, the nicely equipped spacious bathroom and the handy kitchenette. The bed was very comfortable. There was a view out over the garden and the windows let in plenty of natural light. It was also very peaceful. I appreciated the nice little boxes of both toiletries and biscuits, tea, coffee, washing up liquid and a few more items. The room was nice and clean and check in was easy.

I would have preferred a slightly earlier check in of say 3pm instead of 4pm. Other than that I can’t fault it really.

Fabulous Love the welcome package for the kitchen and the bathrooms. Everything was very clean. Love the back garden.

Nothing

Good location. Patio doors to the enclosed garden which was ideal for our small dog. Comfortable bed. Clean accommodation

Having to wait outside for door code after travelling 5 hours (with a dog).

The Beds were Really Comfy and the little Complimentary Boxes were Cute and Definitely a nice Touch, it's also nice to have the opportunity to sit outside in the Garden - Regardless of the Weather as there was seating on the Grass, but also under a Wooden Structure which was useful when the weather took a turn. The other Benefit was that you could literally walk ten minutes down the road from the Train Station and take a Left and you were Pretty Much at the Property. We had an issue with the Shower Leaking one evening and the Owners got back to us the very next morning with a maintenance person on standby and ready to drop in to help - unfortunately we were out at the time, but those in communication were very polite and understanding and I would presume got the issue taken care of as soon as we'd left the Property at the end of our stay.

I would perhaps advise Updating a Lot of the Online Visitor Information as We and another Couple were both looking for the Kitchenette which we had both believed was Present, only to discover that upon reading Visitor Questions dated back to 2023, only 6 rooms came with a kitchenette, the rest had just Coffee Making Facilities...We had hoped to maybe find a mini fridge, or a room everyone could share to cook in, but this wasn't the case. We also discovered that the 'Hotel Opposite' which according to the Visitor Questions serves Breakfast has also been derelict for who knows how long, so Sadly that left us relying on the nearby Co-op for Sandwiches and Pot-Noodles as there was nowhere to keep Perishables in the room... (Mayhaps we can suggest a Mini-Fridge for those rooms without access to cooking appliances?) We didn't have a lot of Funding, so Take Out wasn't an option. I did have Great Trouble getting our Luggage up the stairs to Room 12 (as did those staying opposite us) because those stairs are far too narrow to safely carry a Suitcase up - I literally had to stand behind it and Hoof it up a Step at a time, and even that was a struggle... I also feared falling down the turn at the bottom of the aforementioned stairs and ended up coming down them backwards whilst holding the Handrail as there wasn't anything to grab if I came down them normally. Sadly another issue was trying to use the Bathroom as the Toilet is situated too close to the Shower and if you are of a Wide, or Tall Body, you would have to sit somewhat sideways with your Left Knee pushed up against the outer wall of the Shower - Which makes doing what is Necessary a Problem. I don't like leaving Negative Comments, but this stay really caught us out - especially when a lot of the information was either out of date, or non-existent.
