Guest reviews
Pleasant
Liked: Quaint little guest house. The room was a decent size and the shared toilet was clean and tidy also. Location was fantastic and close to all the town amenities within a 5 to 10 minute walk.
Disliked: It was a shame the room did not have en suite but we survived 😁
Will not be back
Liked: The location was all that was liked that weekend, it was not a pleasant experience staying hear
Liked: The bed was comfy, and the location was amazing
Disliked: We didn't get to meet any staff, we did arrive later than planned. No staff were there in the morning. It was just to post your keys in the letter box, which seems to be the way of stays these days
If you just need a place to sleep this is fine but don’t expect any other comforts or amenities
Liked: The location was good.
Disliked: The room was very cramped, could have been improved easily with more storage options like hooks on the wall and a tall side table with shelves to store things on. The shared bathroom is both shower and toilet so if someone is showering there is no other toilet option available in the building. All tables in the lounge were set for breakfast all the time so no place to eat food we’d brought in despite the strict request not to eat in our room. Also it was difficult to dry out our wet clothing (rain is very likely in this region) because no hooks or closet.
could be so much nicer
Liked: location was excellent. only a short wander into town. bed was ok.. a bit soft as we rolled into middle but we managed to get a sleep.
Disliked: the smell was awful. it was as if someone was ill. bathroom was smelling of sick and poo. when you went into the house it hit you at night but was still there in morning. our room had a small sink in it. when you ran the water it was sour. my stepdaughter used her own towel and when we got home the horrid smell from the bathroom had stuck to it. front room very noisy but window was open as heating was on and no way of turning it off as the tops were missing from either side. eventually only slept there because of the smell unfortunately.
It was ok
Liked: I liked that it was central to the town.
Disliked: When we arrived, we was told to bring cash on our messages. We did, and then was informed that the machine was working. The lady who runs the reception was a bit hard faced, I felt uncomfortable when face to face with her bokking in The cleaners must not change the bedding. I found a plaster in the bed from a previous guest, they must have just stayed the night and the cleaners probably couldnt be bothered changing it so made it back up without changing. The fridges need updating. The shower could do with being replaced, and cleaned properly now and again. We stayed, but I dont think I will again, my back is wrecked from the mattress. However, my partner left his phone in the room when we left, andnwhen we returned, the lady cleaning was lovely and let him have it back. Its ok for a night to just get your head down if you are only passing through the town. I saw comments about no toilet roll, when we stayed the window in the bathroom was loaded with about 20 rolls. We paid £264.40 for 3 nights, I don't think the price reflects what we paid, it was expensive. Again, I don't think we will stay at this specific place again, or the hotels that are connected with arbour house if they are all similar. Also, other guests!! Have some respect for the place you stay, regardless of your opinion. Clean the bathrooms when you have used them, and keep the noise down.
