Halford House - Adults Only Guest House

Beautiful! Very comfortable right in the heart of town! Room was amazing and the dogs were very welcoming

The location and the car parking was a highlight. It was wonderful being able to access the centre of the village at the start and end of the day when many day trippers had gone home. Our room on the ground floor was spacious and calming. There was a lounge and other facilities we didn’t use but we did come back to use our bathroom and take a break as we were so close to everything we wanted to do. The private pedestrian entrance from the street was a highlight.

Excellent location and easy parking. Room has all the basic necessities and the snacks and beverages are a nice touch. The resident dogs and cats are a big plus.

More attention needs to be paid to cleaning. We found many long black hairs including on the bed and the baseboards are filthy. In addition, during hot months when it is necessary to have the window open, we were unable to close the shade because it blocked the air so there was a lot of light in the room while trying to sleep.

We appreciated the parking. It was nice to have orange juice and milk available…although one morning there was none left even at a rather early hour. It was peaceful behind the wall from all the hubbub of the town.

When we arrived we could not figure how to get into the building….an email was apparently sent that morning, however, we were already in transit and never saw it. It would be more helpful to receive that information the day before. Perhaps it is sent on the day of for protection of someone arriving early etc..??? If so, then alert us to look for an email the day of arrival. When we arrived and finally got into the building it would have been nice to have an idea of where to look for the keys if we are not to be greeted by anyone. When we were ultimately ‘greeted’ and we asked a question about WiFi or whatever, we were told, in not the most friendly way, that all such information was in the black box/book. Again, if the idea is for us to fend for ourselves then send some info about that…‘upon arrival please look for the black book which will help answer any questions you may have.’ There is no need to snap at someone who is tired from travel and asking a basic question. A bit of oil on the hinges would help! The ‘Drawing Room’ might be a bit more enjoyable if there was some background music or something to make it a more appealing place to relax and possibly meet others visiting the area. It was a bit uninviting… It seemed like there must be an interesting history to the place..perhaps make that available👍. A luggage rack would be helpful. Truth is, I did finally find it…the day we left, tucked behind a huge mirror which was behind a big rack on which to hang clothes. It would be nice to have a shelf or stand in the shower on which to put the soap, shampoo and conditioner containers The towel rack heat element did not work Offer a do not disturb sign for those who want just that The outdoor furniture was nice but there was nothing to look at when sitting there other than a rather weedy flower bed (sans many flowers) and a big wall. Such potential, it just missed the mark a bit. The place can still be ‘chill’ even with a bit of engaging and friendliness.
