Carisbrooke Castle

The room I had was spacious and well equipped, the bed was very comfortable and the bedding was good. The carpet looked a bit grubby in places and there were no net curtains for privacy. The bathroom was spacious and had all I needed including fresh soap and shower gels. The kettle was kept in the wardrobe but it was a smart kettle and there were no instructions so it was a bit hard to use it. On our first night we said that we would be late back and were advised to ring the bell to gain access, we did this and rang the ring doorbell twice but could not get an answer, in the end we had to ring the phone number to get someone to let us in, we found this quite uncomfortable. Breakfast was okay there were continental and cooked offerings, although the cooked options were a bit limited, I had mushrooms, scrambled egg, the only egg option, and a hash brown and toast with a pot of tea. The only issue was the tea tasted awful and I could not drink it, water boiled and fresh added at some point. But the dinning room was clean and tables well presented.
