1) no body wash refill before allocating room 2) rips in the towels 3) dirty bathroom 4) dusty furniture 5) after the first night, asked for a service and the cup/spoon used, was rinsed and put back instead of being washed so stains in the cup and the spoon was sticky 6) told no heating could be put on, due to it being summer - but understandably given another duvet (probably the night guards) 7) very hard to communicate with the receptionist whose never at reception 8) time of checkout - called the receptionist to say I needed to give the keys back and she said “leave it on the desk” so much for hospitality - also anyone could’ve taken the keys and ultimately blame could’ve gone to myself 9) Noted the building and interior wasn’t the best - but I won’t complain about stuff that can’t be accounted for

We arrived at 8pm and shown to our room. The ceiling lights did not work so we had to manage with 1 lamp. Quite a large room so 1 table lamp was not adequate. There were tea/coffee facilities but there was no way you could fill the kettle. There was a sink in the bathroom but the kettle was too big fit under the forcet. Used the cups instead to fill kettle but the the kettle didn't work. The room was clean and tidy although a little tired. Comfortable warm beds but the room was cold. Luckily they provided heavy quilt covers. Staying for 1 night was fine but i wouldn’t choose to stay longer.

The bed was clean and comfortable. Sink and toilet pan clean. The rest of the bedroom was past its "Best before". Holes in bedroom carpet covered by a tatty rug. Bathroom particularly dusty. The signage was incredibly difficult to see, almost impossible to see from the road. There was no opportunity to have breakfast. It's OK if you just want a basic bed for a night.

Don’t think we will be back…
Was alright apart from the hotel is very dated and needed a good clean. The beds were comfy don’t get me wrong but overall cleanliness was poor. There was damp/mould in the shower which travelling with a 4 month old is not ideal. There windows were filthy and there was cobwebs on them. There was also dead spiders in the bathroom of both rooms which we had booked so a good dusting/ hoover is needed. Such a shame because the views from the windows were stunning. The check in was very unprofessional also.

From the outside I thought this was going to be a nice little stay. I was wrong. The house was run down, dirty and stunk like damp. Everywhere you looked either had a stain, mould, a hole or a cobweb. Genuinely didn’t even want to take my shoes off. The decor was like something from an abandoned house. The only good thing was that the bed was comfy. Despite the holy stained bedding. Never again

The beds were clean and there was hot water,there was no food the gardens were unkempt and the rooms were in a word filthy not cleaned or dusted properly no staff available if you want something you have to phone someone. On leaving the bedroom door was knocked at 9.45 am to say if your not out by 10am then you have to pay an xtra £10 Pity they hadn’t been so fastidious about the rest of the property .Would not stay here again even in an emergency situation.Take a look round folks get out the paint and rollers and then some bleach .

The room was lovely & large also very clean. Tea & coffee were provided in the room. I chose Bonkle house because it was different to what i usually book & we enjoyed our stay. The only staff we saw was on check-in to give us the key, who was pleasant but i cant comment beyond that. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay & highly recommend

Don't be put off by other reviews!
I'm glad I booked this before I read other reviews, or I might have missed out on a total gem! I booked the superior double room (Manor Suite) and it was just what I was hoping for. Large, bright, warm, clean. Lots of period features. Gorgeous ensuite bathroom. Lots of room for storing clothes in the walk through dressing area. I was travelling alone, and other than some doors banging from other guests, I had a really peaceful and relaxing time. A great night's sleep in the huge bed too! If I ever have need to stay over in the same area I wouldn't hesitate to return here.

Lovely old property with some outstanding period features. Room (Manor Suite) was massive! Exceptionally comfortable to stay in. For the price you can’t expect 5* luxury but it was still a bargain.

The photos on the site are NOT what you will walk into when you arrive. I was prepared for an old and quaint building, staying for 3 days somewhere that was beautiful and quirky. We booked a room for 3 nights, and if my husband hadn’t been exhausted from driving all day, we would’ve left immediately. The room we stayed in was musty and dusty, with a very heavy smell of mildew/mold in the bathroom. The bathroom door was broken so that we had to put something against it from the outside to keep it shut while we used it, and then knock to have someone move whatever was against the door when we wanted out. I tried to call AND email from the room to tell them of our problems, but still to this day, (3.5 weeks later) no response. No one in attendance at the desk to talk to. My son has a mold allergy, and there was no way we could’ve stayed longer than the few hours we needed to sleep, (we had to keep a chair in front of the bathroom door to keep it closed for the least amount of mold exposure, possible) we left super early the next morning, and left our key. Expedia tried but could not get us any type of refund for the 2 nights we forfeit, and I’m sure this place is used to people not staying past the first night, as everyone’s keys were on the desk when we left in the AM, and I’d heard other guests say they were staying longer. There are other places, comparably priced. Skip this one, especially if you have a nose on your face. I’ve never had to write such a bad review before.

Warm and comfortable hotel
We had a huge room with sofa and 2 beds. Decor is dated but still was comfortable and nice and warm. Adequate facilities - bathroom / TV/ tea & coffee. No option for breakfast it is just bed. House keeping could have waited until later in the day to knock on as woke us up early on Sunday, wasn’t very happy about that. Mistake on check out time, I thought 11 and it was 10am, they were understanding which was appreciated.

This property was so rundown and awful we left a day early ( we had nowhere else for escape to on the first night). The caretaking family were sweet and moved us to a cleaner room but it still had a musty smell and the bedsheets were old and soft. We won’t book ahead from photos on Expedia again.

Badly neglected, stained towels, no service
The owners need to put a lot more effort into what could be a nice place, but is currently extremely run down, and service is non-existent. We were met by a child, a bit confused by the paperwork, and taking instructions from unseen adults in a back room. That’s the last we saw of any staff. We had booked for 3 people in the triple room, but we realised in the morning there were only 2 towels and one was stained. The front desk had a number to ring for assistance, and three more if no-one answered. All 4 numbers went unanswered at 8am and none had a voicemail facility. We had booked for two nights but given these issues, made other arrangements for the second night instead. We couldn’t even communicate this to the owners as there was no one there! It’s very expensive as well for what it is. The paperwork seems a bit obsessed with outlining potential extra charges. No breakfast facilities, and no other options in the town other than an Asda. Overall an unwelcoming experience.
