Fitzwarine House Whittington

We had a lovely stay last weekend, Debbie was a star. A perfect location for a quaint getaway.

Located in the centre of a pretty village. Our room overlooked the castle entrance and moat. The room was comfortable, clean and the shower was very efficient.

As we expected the house was old and dark, so very atmospheric but the bedroom needed a little more electric light. What there was hardly made any difference.

Warm and cosy. Friendly welcome. Room with a view of castle.

No breakfast offered but the Olde Boote Inn next door does a magnificent breakfast at a very reasonable price. The location is stunning. Historic building full of character. Plenty of hot water and good shower. Host very pleasant.

We love cats and have two of our own. Unfortunately the resident cat at Fitzwarine House was not trained. It was disappointing to find it perched on the dining tables and the smell of cat wee whilst in bed was quite off putting. Whilst the building was absolutely charming and full of delightful olde worlds quirks we found the steep, narrow stairs difficult . It was a hands and knees job for me sometimes! The crooked old beams made us laugh. Anything we placed on the dressing table slid off. The floor was so creaky and uneven we felt like we'd gone for a cruise on an ancient schooner. Definitely not suitable for those with mobility issues!
