I love historic properties, but my attic room was a joke for the price. It was furnished like a cell, with a broken lamp hanging over the bed and a rickety wooden ladder to climb up to the room with. A lukewarm welcome, no response to my e mail before arrival, non-existant service, having to pay the night before despite an expedia reservation guaranteed with a card. The gardens are littered with broken garden furniture and the inside of the lift was filthy.
