Well, I had read some of the previous negative reviews and dismissed them - perhaps I should have known what I was letting myself in for. I am not used to arriving at a B&B and instead of a welcome greeting I am immediately warned the carpets have just been cleaned. Room was nice and airy though the floor was very creaky, I felt sorry for the chap in the room below, trips to the bathroom during the night were .... noisy. Be aware that if you are staying for a number of days your room is not touched, bed not made, no fresh towels, no top up of tea/biccies. I would have rated 3 star on the above but I am afraid something cannot be overlooked, the front of house manager was awfully rude. Two potential customers came in, there was no "good evening", instead, a very vocal "if you haven't booked then you can't eat". Even though there were plenty of spare tables. The poor couple looked very upset as the people in the pub witnessed what had been said and their embarrassment. If you stand up to approach the bar for a drink you are bluntly told to "sit down and I will come to you when I'm not busy" ! It got to a point where I actually felt uncomfortable ! Another guest approached me and shared the same feeling. Not once was I asked "did you enjoy your stay", there was absolutely no trivial conversation whatsoever. I was tempted to revisit and challenge myself hoping to hear the words "thank you" but even though I am working near Tattershall ten days a month, this is one pub/B&B I will definitely not put my foot in ever again and will pass the word around. Such a shame, lots of potential, food was ok but I don't think the "hospitality field" is their ideal career choice.
