Very pleasant stay, suited us...

Liked: We were really pleased to stay at the Thirsty Scholar as it was a lovely with history and not far from where we were going for a party . Adele was very welcoming as were the other staff. It was lovely and warm in the bedroom and nice light duvet and nice and clean and the room had all the basics that you need for a stay. Shower lovely and hot. Lovely. You could see every effort had been made to try and make it nice for guests. Breakfast was amazing - all fresh local food, could taste the difference and it was much appreciated. Nice not to be served the cheapest of ingredients - a first for us.
Disliked: As it was an exceptionally windy night the sash windows rattled noisily all night , which disturbed sleep but I don’t think this could be helped.

Good (with a few glitches)

Liked: Very friendly and helpful given I arrived a bit early. Room was very pleasant and quiet. Good breakfast.
Disliked: Not easy to park outside or near. Not sure the description made that clear. Paid carparks 10 minutes walk away. Beacuse it was a hotel, I wrongly assumed it would be open even if I couldn't yet get my room but it's keypad operated during the day and I had to contact the owner for the number, Would have been ok if that had been clear in advance.
