Facilities and maintenance

We booked the Penny Farthing Inn for a family gathering to celebrate my mums 70th birthday.

It doesnt feel like its been set up as a rental property very long. The coffee machine, dishwasher and heating did not work. The pub was cold and didnt make for a comfortable place to gather as a family. There was no heating downstairs in the pub and just a small log burner that didn't get the space well at all. Some of the bedding had stains on and the place was not cleaned well. Dirty laundry was found in pne of the rooms and the floors were dirty so we had to all wear footwear downstairs in the bar. The pool table and cinema rooms are nice additions and the outdoor beer garden with climbing frame was useful. Check out was at 10am which we felt was too early for such a large group to get out for, especially given there was only 1 tiny bathroom for most of the guests to use. 2 rooms had en suites in addition to this so the guests in the remaining 5 rooms had to share the main tiny bathroom. The taps in the toilets downstairs didn't work. The bedrooms , bathrooms and kitchen are tired and very basic. Not what we were expecting for nearly £3000 for a 2 night stay.

Owner response:

Hello Emma, You're right that we're still early in our life as a rental property, and several of the issues you describe should not have happened. The heating, dishwasher and downstairs taps should all have been working, and the standard of cleaning and bedding was not what we expect. I'm sorry for that. We have taken your comments on board and are pleased to confirm a new Thermostat has been installed and now working as expected. Dishwasher has been repaired, we were awaiting Montpellier appliances to fix it. New Tap in bar has been installed and I’ve spoken to our Cleaners and Laundry Supplier and they have ensured bedding and towels will be double checked on changeover. I'm glad the pool table, cinema room and beer garden added something to the stay. I confirm the Fibre Internet Wifi is now back working after a local BT Damaged cabinet caused a local outage. We also have the option to switch to Starlink at the property also if it ever happens again. Thank you again for your honesty, and I hope your mum had a happy birthday despite the shortcomings.

The Penny Farthing Inn is an excellent venue for a getaway whether it’s with family or for a stag do, you will always have a great time, the property is full of character, offering loads of space inside and out, the landlord was incredibly friendly and helpful too.

I would recommend the Penny Farthing Inn to everyone. The only improvement would be more space around the pool table

Myself and the family recently had a fantastic weekend at the Pennyfarthing Inn and can honestly say it was everything we could have wanted and more.

The property was just as described via the listing and the host and I believe his son who showed me around the property were both great and very helpful. We were blessed with the weather so was able to make great use of the beer garden and wrap our evenings up by blasting some karaoke songs out to see the night in. Will definitely be visiting again and judging from feedback from friends via pictures they saw he can definitely expect a few more bookings. Thanks for having us, Regards Rob
