Charnwood Guest House

The location was fantastic, and we appreciated being given a key so we could come and go. The hosts were lovely and gave us the space we wanted without pestering us. The rooms were a good size, very clean, and had a lovely view. The bed was really comfortable, and the chocolate left in the room was lovely. The tea, though, tasted like digestive biscuits. We got the breakfast time wrong and arrived at 0900. We were told breakfast runs from 0800 till 0900, so we felt bad when they explained that was when it finished. The eggs, bacon and sausages were the cheapest you could buy. Meat from a local butcher would have wiped away that complaint, apart from the shower. There was no pressure at 8am, so even though it was clean, we couldn't wash. I ran a bed and breakfast myself, and it's hard work. It's not an easy little retirement job, it's full time and you need to be there for your guests. Running any business is hard, so I understand going cheap on the meat, and I know a person may only stay there once. We enjoyed our stay. There were just two complaints among all the other details they could have missed. Sorry this isn't a 5* review. If you had been the cheapest, it would have been.
