Little Easton Manor

Took a walk in the grounds & visited the church - great historic setting.

Provision for a GF and dairy free diet was appreciated. Rooms were a suitable size for our purposes. Good, clean bathroom with ample shampoo, conditioner, soap and clean towels. Good wifi.

Rooms could do with a deep clean (e.g.back of cupboard. & under beds) We had a 10 tog duvet, much too hot for this time of year. We had difficulty sleeping comfortably as a result. Lighter alternatives would be great. Some of the regular bread was moldy.

The location was beautiful.

There was no tv, a radio would have helped. We were not aware there wouldn't be WiFi as it states when booking there is, the owner didn't respond to messages, neither bedside lamp worked. One observation is that there is only one shared bathroom which on a busy morning means waiting. We arrived in the dark. There is no lighting until you find th

Beautiful property, idyllic location, comfy beds and exceptional bedding, very clean, great staff, perfect

poor communication, didn't reply to messages. And when we called to book a cab (also a cab company as told by a staff member), was super unhelpful

Pastries were welcome, plenty of towels etc, everything well presented and clean

We had an issue with our key code info being wrong and it was impossible to contact anyone at all as we got back to the room and realised the problem quite late. I'd suggest guests must have access to an emergency 24/6 contact number for someone. Luckily there was another empty open room in the property that we used to sleep in. The instant coffee is awful. Take my advice and buy a few jars of Douwe Egbert's, it makes all the difference at 8am in the morning! Also, if you are going to have bread ham and cheese available, don't forget the butter! Better still, offer a discount for breakfast at the tea room next door and everyone is happy!

It was a nice place with many events on while I was there (live theatre, luxury car show) and no other bookings in my cottage during the time I stayed which was nice, so I didn't end up actually needing to share any facilities. Afternoon tea at The Tea Room was really nice and all of the kitchen and cafe staff are really kind and helpful. Also, a surplus of body lotion, shower gel, and shampoo were provided, along with kitchen essentials and bottled water.

There was quite a bit of dust and some damp on walls/ceilings. Additionally staff came in multiple times throughout the time I was staying with no notice (to clean or fetch various items, etc) and they also came in without warning on the day of check out & began cleaning for the next people 2hrs before my check out time which felt a bit uncomfortable (had to request for them to leave and come back after I check out, which would still be 3hrs before the next person can check in & should be ample time). Also, I think that the shower window should have a small curtain perhaps because it faces onto a driveway and if an average height or tall person is using the shower, they can be easily seen by many on the driveway. I also wasn't able to switch the heating on. I asked the cottage manager how to turn on the radiators and was told that the heating turns on automatically once a certain low temperature is reached, but it was already quite cold outside at that time since it was nighttime and in the end the heating didn't seem to turn on at all. Had to request extra blankets to sleep with. I came during the summer (August) so I could manage with blankets at night but for people coming during another season, this could be an issue.

The Security Guard was very helpful when we finally got into our room at 11pm

Having to change for a Wedding in the Car Park and the Ladies Toilet. Didn't realise we were in a 'cottage' of 8 rooms for let with one shared bathroom ! (Fortunately our rooms were the only 2 occupied) No TV in bedrooms or communal lounge. Cost almost double some other places stayed at recently and only half as good. Second bad experience with Booking. Com. Second time of trying to reach them with no success. Happy to take the money but not so keen on taking the flak and giving some back !
