We had the misfortune of visiting The Fleece Inn, which I had seen was a part of the National Trust and so was very excited.The whole visit was a shambles. There was nowhere at all to park when we got there and after stopping the car to ask someone they started a torrent of abuse about the pub and how they couldn’t care less about the village and how all the locals were fed up with all the cars around and the noise. Ok, maybe a disgruntled local so we carried on and eventually parked some distance away from the pub itself.We really wanted a nice cream tea, just like we’ve had at most other NT establishments but were told we couldn’t have it that day but they did have a very nice pie and pint! I mean, really?! Bit of a difference.We just had drinks.As we were leaving we witnessed an oldish guy (around 70?) with a big beard who I can only assume was in charge by the things he was saying, being really quite nasty to a server who was left visibly upset. This was enough for us and really not what we expected from The National Trust. The property itself was very quaint and old but our experience was not a good advert for your brand.
