#THE COPPICE GUEST HOUSE MOVIE#

Breakfast is rushed (8.15 to 9.15 rather than the standard 7.30 to 9.30 (or later), and on departure day you have to be out at 10 rather than the standard 11. I just have the impression that the guests must fit in with the owners rather than the other way around. On the Sunday we found two elderly gentlemen who had reached the hotel and were stuck outside in the blazing sun, unable to get through to anyone - we had to invite them into our room until one of the owners arrived. I tried to contact the hotel regularly in the weeks prior to our arrival and the phone was never answered. My major issue was that the owners (who are lovely people) have a level of unreliability. All the above are, I repeat for emphasis, things that might not bother you. Just advising that you should take the cheaper pay in advance option. I need to stress that the hotel might have corrected this if we'd raised it, which we didn't.

However, the Coppice took the payment long before our arrival, which made the alternate deal a bit redundant and the £100 a wasted outlay. We usually do that so we have at least a chance of argument if the property turns out to be Hill House or similar (which did happen to us on one occasion). Don't go for the more expensive (£100 in our case) pay on arrival package. I suppose that with the price point I simply expected that there would be. The hotel doesn't say that there is, so it's my fault for not checking. Again that might not be a problem for you. The wi-fi is fine, but it either blocks or isn't sophisticated enough to handle Netflix or Amazon Prime.

If you're the sort of person who might get back at 10PM and watch a movie on Amazon Fire (for example), you'll be out of luck. The issues I had (and there were a few) will either be important or irrelevant to you. If that's all you're looking for, then I recommend the place.

The breakfast is good too, as is the location. I say a curate's egg because - well, you know - good in parts.
