I recently spent two nights at The Brocket Arms, and while I appreciated the charming atmosphere and comfortable accommodations, several details could use improvement. The meal service was a bit chaotic, with starters arriving simultaneously with the mains, and I had to ask for cutlery. The bed was slightly damp on the second night due to towels being improperly managed. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, but it felt somewhat overpriced given the service I received.
