Buckland Manor

So they have some very loud extractor machine for their fireplaces that creates a low frequency engine noise in the rooms. We stayed at a room where this noise was coming through all the time from 10am to 10pm. It is not what you expected for £400 a night when you came to spend a calm weekend in the countryside. Also the room did not have a shower handle. It had a bathtub and a power shower, but nothing else. If you do not plan to wet your hair but would like to take hygiene showers twice a day - there's no such option available. I think this room that we were given needs either to be sold for a price of a 2 start hotel, or be decommissioned. Giving people a room that the hotel perfectly knows has a constant noise pollution and doesn't have a shower - I don't know why hotel management finds it acceptable. Btw, we asked for the room to be changed and were told they were fully booked. What it concerns breakfast, the only bread they had to serve was the sliced toast bread (those horrible triangles yes). When I asked for a piece of traditional sourdough they told me it will take them 15min(!) to make one. Breakfast is extremely disappointing. You can see a pic of their "croissant" which is an insult to a most basic French pastry shop. And my poached egg appears hard boiled to me personally. Dinner was good.
