“Lovely location and host”
+The host was lovely and very helpful with the WiFi password. I like cats so enjoyed giving them some fuss. I liked the quirkyness of the property and the quaint bedroom. The parking was easy and property situated oposite a small castle and a lake. The bedroom and bathroom was spotless and I liked the fact the host supplied conditioner as I have long hair.
−The road noise kept me awake, as the house is on the road and we had a front bedroom. The owner did supply ear plugs but they were in a dish in the bathroom, with shampoo and conditioner, which I didn't look in until the following morning. They would have been more obvious on the bedside tables. I didn't like the smell of the air fresheners downstairs they were quite strong.

“Handy stay on the way west, and opposite Whittington Castle”
+Debbie - who runs the place - is not able to offer breakfast, but recommended the pub next door (from 0800) or the castle almost opposite (from 0900). We had an excellent breakfast at the latter - nice setting and nice people. Fitzwarine House is an old building and slightly old-fashioned, but the bed was comfortable and the shower &c all good. Room and bed-side lighting is a bit dim, though.
−The room (1) had rather dim lighting, and the bed seemed very soft - softer than we're used to, anyway, but not necessarily a problem. Our room faced the road, so we had to close the window to quell the traffic noise - but then it was much better.

“Lovely host, lovely location , great safe parking, good value”
+Lovely view on the old castle and moat. great, safe parking.
−No longer serving breakfast, but a bigger hotel just 100 yards away does excellent breakfast .. at a reasonable price. The staircase is very steep for older, or disabled people. A little noisy at night from passing traffic., if the windows open.

+Lovely host. Lovely old house. Lovely location. Great pub next door with delicious food.
−It was very hot due to the heatwave and as it is on a road you could hear all the traffic when the window was open. The host did provide a fan. Nothing that could be done about the weather!

+Lovely place, the host was very accommodating. We arrived late and she stayed up to make sure we could check in without any issues. She also kindly upgraded our room at no extra cost - I’d booked the double room to save some money but she put us in the twin room so we got a bed each. The part of the town the b&b is in is also lovely, and the place was clean. Really decent stay and a good place to lay your head at night if you’ve got bits to do in the area.
