We immediately informed the manager of some issues giving the early opportunity to do something about it as we were there for two nights .This was not the case ?The room we occupied was superheated as there are three radiators and only one had a thermostat .The gents toilet below this room has a door that bangs in such an audible manner it is really disturbing .There isn't a blind across the bathroom window making you visible to the rooms opposite .The newly tiled bathroom has tiles that are looking ready to fall off .If the room next door is occupied then you can hear every word said and when they shower and pull loo roll off the holder .The TV is okay for a few stations but the rest don't fully tune .When the cook arrives to make breakfast every move below can be heard along with deliveries being made .The food in the pub/restaurant is good and the ambiance is nice with a very cosy open fire .The real ales are very good with four to choose from and they are regularly changed and pleasantly served by Alex who is very amenable.Breakfast no better than average quality .The furniture is rickety and needs replacing along with the carpeting .I left feeling disappointed that I couldn't rate it higher but the facts cannot be ignored .

My sister arranged to meet at the Sparkford Inn encounte to their home. As we were all travelling the reservation was accepted with flexibility of time. We were also limited to time but we need not have worried. The quality and delivery of food was very good indeed and the large groups that surrounded us also got the same service. Being busy didn't phase them at all and standards didn't slip. The poor reviews prior to this date are not reflected now. Thanks to the staff for their welcome.
