4/10 Kohtalainen

A showcase of incompetence
The Angmering Manor is a lovely looking country house style of hotel set in delightful gardens. Through the front door, it exudes a false degree of elegance with a tiny broom cupboard of a reception desk.
My room was long and narrow and so it necessitated a limbo action to pass between the bed and TV fixed to the wall. The large bathroom was shabby and tired with just a bath. No toiletries other than a generic shampoo/body wash dispenser.
The bar was a disaster. The barman was slow due to a lack of glasses and stock. Every order was greeted with 'I just need to get ....'. Dinner in the delightfully appointed restaurant resembled a scene from an Agatha Christie novel. Upon arrival, I immediately ordered my food (main course only) which finally arrived just over an hour later!! It was shockingly bad. I tried to explain to the barman who was now waiter, that I wasn't prepared to pay for my meal as it was terrible and I had hardly touched it. The waiter went off to get "authorisation" from the Manager who made no appearance throughout the evening let alone face me over my complaint. I want to note that I did offer to make a financial contribution to my meal.
Such potential yet, in the main, almost everything fell below an acceptable level.
Breakfast was quite pleasant although I feel that cheap 'value bread' for toast falls well below acceptability.
It is 48 years since I last stayed at the hotel and I can guarantee that it will be 48 more years before I return!
