Downside Abbey: Tour e Visite Guidate

Good = we checked in late, bar was still open and had a decent Butcombe and Lyme Regis gin. We were impressed that the lines were being cleaned (done every Sunday evening). Not so good = mattress v uncomfortable. We both woke up about 2am and took a long time to get back to sleep. We had a long drive next day so were pretty tired by the afternoon and had to take time out to just sit on a bench. Annoying that both basin and bath hot tap dripped. Breakfast - cooked breakfast was good. Staff did not engage with us very well and we noted didn’t talk to any other guests. Soulless ambience on dining room. Such a sunny morning it would have been nice to have been able to sit in conservatory.

Tre piacevoli notti. Camera ampia e spaziosa. Un bagno gigante con doccia enorme e vasca free standing. Hotel ricercato e non banale. Accogliente sala per la colazione con Un gustoso Buffett e se scegliete la versione completa anche un ricco menù alla carta con piatti preparati caldi al momento. Personale gentile e disponibile. Grazie

Hotel carinissimo in un paese pittoresco, personale gentile e disponibile, buon ristorante.
