“지난 9월 13일, 영국 Coast to Coast 를 걷기 위해 출발지인 St. Bees의 매너 하우스 호텔(Manor House Hotel)에서 1박했다. 도착해보니 1층에 로비나 리셉션 데스크는 아예 없고 Pup이 있을 뿐이었는데, 말이 호텔이지 규모가 좀 큰 B&B라고 해야 맞을 것 같다. Pup에는 우리가 도착한 오후에 이미 결혼식 전야제인지 피로연인지, 뭔지 모르지만 발 디딜 틈 없이 사람이 들어차서 파티를 벌이고 있었다. 숙박 접수대는 2층으로 오르는 계단 밑에 폭 70cm 정도의 책상이 전부였는데, 주인인 듯 보이는 70세 넘은 남자는 우리보다는 손님 접대에 정신이 없었고, 그 시간 이후 우리는 황당한 일을 여러 차례 당했다. 우리는 몇 가지 서비스를 부탁했는데 말로는 다 하겠다고 했으나 하나도 이루어지지 않았고, 그 중 가장 황당한 것은 다음 목적지의 호텔 예약이었다. 특별한 사정에 의해 다음날 예약을 하지 못해 부탁을 하니, 걱정 말라며 50Pound 짜리 방을...

“Really comfortable, quiet and clean bedroom, the bathroom was on the small side and not as nice as the rest of the room (still nice enough). The staff were friendly but seemed very busy so they just gave us the key and pointed us in the direction of the outbuiling where our bedroom was located. If you have heavy luggage or struggle with stairs our room would not be for you as there were some very steep stairs.”

“This is a hotel in a small community on the costal estuary. Not a 5 star Marriott, but you wouldn’t want one in this quaint town.”
