Sparkford Inn

Stayed one night, which was one too many. The only had two staff on, front of house and chef. Chef was nice, front of house no so. On check in I was told there was no breakfast included and if I wanted some, McDonands was up the road. No instructions given about overnight arrangements, that I found out later (from the chef) was that the was no one on site - and as there was no phone number, etc provided, not sure what you do if anything goes wrong! Front of house cashed up at 10:15 and as such refused to serve us another drink when we asked, and despite offering cash and to pay extra, would not budge - the Inn advertise its opening time until 11:00 - not with that member of staff. So felt like we were being send to bed at 10:15 like naught boys. The room - windows are from the last century and don’t close properly, there is no desk to work at, or s chair to sit on - so had to work sat on the bed. Sink it too small to wet-shave and the toilet masticator makes a noise every few minutes - all night. Would I stay here again - no chance!

Good place to stop for me mid journey . Budget accommodation but adequate. Staff were friendly and helpful. Disappointed that they do not open their restaurant for breakfast so had to stop further along at a cafe. Evening restaurant menu was pub dare but good food reasonably priced if not the largest of portions (chicken tika) . My room was at the front of the building near to the road so quite a lot of traffic noise even at night and single glazed sash windows didn't stop any noise at all.
