"What a fiasco. You couldn 't make it up, talk about Fawlty Towers. I stayed in room 6 this year, after specifically requesting not to stay in room 2 with it 's enormous bright green Fire Exit sign on all night. The nice young lady had some trouble letting me into room 6, the one right at the end of the block, but eventually we got in. Straight away I noticed that the original lock had been replaced and a bodge job had been done. As it was warm I left the door open for a bit. When I wanted a shower, I tried to lock the door from the inside, this proved impossible. So I went to the bar and explained and the nice young lady came back and said that her Dad would be along soon and he would have a look at it. Which he did. I returned the next evening at around 5.30, the pub garden was full, with drinkers seated around 6ft from my front door . I couldn 't get in. Again. I spent an embarrassing 5 10 mins trying, viewed by all of the drinkers outside. Eventually a nice chap offered to come and help. He too tried for ages and said the lock was utterly broken. He didn 't quite use those words though. : Then someone came out from the bar at my request and she literally had to kick the door in to gain access. All of this took place in front of the whole beer garden. On Sunday morning I tried to leave the room, I was unable to. I was locked in. As chance would have it the landlady rang me, to ask what time I wanted breakfast, on telling her of my plight she tried to gain access from outside and failed. Then another lady turned up and she climbed in through the window. Eventually, between them they got the lock open. This took some time. I wonder what would have happened if there had been a fire during the night? Perhaps I should also add that the duvet was torn, the wheel on the bed was broken, so you were sleeping at an odd angle. There was a dried blood stain on the duvet and a rip on the mattress cover. The sofa was very worn. There was black mould on the inside window and on the bath. The toilet seat had been screwed on wonky. I eventually located a wifi charger point, hidden behind the bedside table, but it didn 't work. I requested a discount, given the ridiculous situation with the lock and was offered £50 off a three night stay. Given the amount that is being charged, that was derogatory. She eventually gave me £100 off . with no apology."
