The Castle Inn Hotel, Castle Combe near Bath

I only popped in to use the loo and get a coffee (possibly counter productive but it’s what you do when you are out sightseeing.)

Yes I was early, but if you don’t want to deal with customers at 9.30am don’t open until later!

In fairness they did let me use the loos, even though they were still cleaning them, and never let me criticise anyone for cleaning the loos too frequently... but I do think it is very inhospitable to start hoovering under my feet when I am trying to sit and enjoy my coffee and read one of the lovely magazines.

So, nice touch with the magazines, but hoovering around me says to me “get lost”... so I did.  And I won’t be going back!

Don’t get me wrong, some of these are excellent, but I couldn’t, in good conscience give them a Pearl Recommendation.  Sometimes they were just beaten to the punch, or I couldn’t decide a clear winner, other times they had a lot right, but I felt they just weren’t there.  I don’t really want to give bad reviews, but anything I felt was really best avoided you’ll find in the Jellyfish section.
