Over night stay
Second stay at The Bay Horse Inn.
Room was comfortable but warm.
Breakfast was good served by very friendly staff.
Only grumble would be that they started to clean the room before we'd left which made us feel a little unwelcome.
Apart from that our stay was comfortable and exactly what we needed for an overnight befor heading on holiday

Got fined for parking
I was fined for parking at the hotel. It said free parking on Hotels.com. I wasn’t asked for my registration when I checked in. I complained to the owner who said he would get it sorted. I sent him the fine which he asked me to do and he then said that’s the best you’re going to get. What a joke.

New toilet seat needed
Toilet seat poorly fitted almost unusable. Seat wouldn’t stay up and was too far back to sit comfortably. It had started to split apart
