点评:We booked the last room here as a stopover as we travelled from further North back to Dorset. I got a phone call the day before from Louise to say our room had a maintenance issue which took it out of use but offered us a stay at Bramall House, their sister establishment just up the road. We accepted knowing that this would be room only and we’d have breakfast at the Queens Head next morning. It turned out really well - Bramall House is lovely and there should be more places like this IMHO. A lovely spacious room, warm and cosy and with a fridge. The shower room was lovely and warm from the heated towel rail. The set up has a shared kitchen with everything you could need whether it is teas, coffees, hot chocolate etc, with fresh milk in the fridge, or a huge cooking range and a microwave if you were inclined to cook for yourselves. A really comfy-looking lounge area for guests too. We’d love to stay here for a week using this as a base - a great compromise between B and B and self catering.
We went to the Queens Head for food that evening - absolutely delicious - shame we couldn’t manage a pudding!! Beautifully cooked and friendly staff - obviously very popular as it was heaving by the time we left at around 7pm. We had a walk around outside - a beautiful spot by a river - so peaceful and loads of beautiful daffodils!!
Back down there the next morning for an equally fantastic breakfast - and the lovely Louise was there again with her ready smile!!
We were able to charge our electric car at both places and how refreshing that it was free to do so - long may that last! We don’t mind paying for charging but really feel ripped off by places who charge 80p per kWh when that is way above what any electricity company charges. So thank you for that too!
Thank you so much for looking after us so well. We really hope to see you again before long!!
Here are my 2 complaints - I’m, it seems, the only person in the country who prefers a small towel when I get out of the shower - I seem to get in a bit of a knot with larger towels! - and Bramall House only had huge fluffy bath sheets - diabolical!!! 🫣. And then, as we stayed on the night of 30th March, we were robbed of an hour’s worth of sleep and stay at this wonderful place!!!! If only you could do something about that!!
I don’t know how you work so hard, keep smiling and do it all again tomorrow but keep up the good work!!!
翻译:我们预订了这里的最后一间客房,作为从更北边返回多塞特的中途停留。前一天我接到 Louise 的电话,说我们的房间出现了维修问题,无法使用,但她让我们住在 Bramall House,这是他们姐妹酒店,就在路的尽头。我们接受了,因为我们知道这只是房间,第二天早上我们会在 Queens Head 吃早餐。结果真的很好 - Bramall House 很漂亮,在我看来应该有更多这样的地方。房间宽敞漂亮,温暖舒适,配有冰箱。淋浴间很漂亮,有加热毛巾架,很温暖。这里有一个共用厨房,里面有你需要的一切,无论是茶、咖啡、热巧克力等,冰箱里有新鲜牛奶,或者如果你想自己做饭,还有一个巨大的炉灶和微波炉。还有一个非常舒适的休息区供客人使用。我们很想在这里住一个星期,以此为基地 - 这是住宿加早餐和自助餐之间的一个绝佳折衷方案。
那天晚上我们去了 Queens Head 餐厅吃饭——非常美味——可惜我们吃不到布丁!!烹饪精美,员工友好——显然非常受欢迎,因为我们在晚上 7 点左右离开时,餐厅人头攒动。我们在外面散步——河边的一个美丽地方——非常宁静,到处都是美丽的水仙花!!
第二天早上我们又回到那里吃了一顿同样美味的早餐——可爱的 Louise 又一次面带微笑!!
我们能够在两个地方为我们的电动汽车充电,而且免费充电真是令人耳目一新——希望这种情况能持续下去!我们不介意支付充电费用,但真的觉得那些收费 80 便士/千瓦时的地方被骗了,这远远高于任何电力公司的收费。所以也谢谢你们!
非常感谢您如此悉心照顾我们。我们真的希望不久后能再次见到您!!
以下是我的 2 点抱怨 - 看来我是这个国家唯一一个洗完澡后喜欢用小毛巾的人 - 我似乎对大毛巾有点不满意! - 而 Bramall House 只有巨大蓬松的浴巾 - 太糟糕了!!!🫣。然后,当我们在 3 月 30 日晚上入住时,我们被剥夺了一个小时的睡眠时间,也没有在这个美妙的地方住过!!!如果您能做点什么就好了!!我不知道您是如何如此努力地工作的,保持微笑,明天再做一遍,但请继续努力!!!
