The Sherwood - Guest House

The room was quiet.

I fancied making a cup of hot cocoa late afternoon. I'd normally bring my own but on this occasion had forgotten so went down to see if I can ask for some milk and for it to be heated up in order for me to make a drink. Looked around, no one I wanted to ask if I could borrow a jug and to have some milk heated up only to be greeted by an extremely rude gentleman who told me : "This is not a youth hostel. All you need is in your room and if you need anything that isn't in your room, you can go to the shops down the road". I do not live in Eastbourne and so would be unfamiliar as to where the shops are based. The gentleman then stormed off. With that I decided not to bother coming down for breakfast the following morning (despite it being included as part of the booking). I didn't want to 'deprive' him of his precious food. I chose to have tea and biscuits in my room (with milk bought by me plus my own teabags). I couldn't get out of the building quick enough during 'Check Out' day.
