Abbey Lodge Guest House

The lady owner was pleasant and welcoming upon arrival.

It wasn't great to be fair but suppose it did the job of an overnight stay. The room was quite old fashioned and dated, the bed linen didn't look crisp and fresh, the window didn't lock properly and the view from the bedroom window was poor, it looked upon an entry of broken garden furniture, the curtains were dirty. We had to share a bathroom with other guests, the breakfast was poor, very basic continental breakfast, not much choice. Glad we only stayed the one night prior to our Cruise the following day.

Prefer to say nothing

The room was dirty, bed linen torn to shreds (matress topper) shower hit & miss, breakfast sparse, no cooked breakfast, the whole place is grossly overpriced, I should have read reviews, Atlantic Gate hotel, 4stars top class hotel, cooked breakfast £15 a night cheaper.

Any of it

The owner was the most detached service person I have had to deal with. She obviously has no interest in us or her business. She didn't ask one personal question even regarding our stay, why we were there? or did we enjoy our holiday etc I felt rushed by her. Breakfast was only continental which she served in her pajamas and we had to state a certain time to eat and was not given a time frame. It should be stated at the time of booking that it is not a cooked breakfast as this was a big disappointment to us. The coffee was cheap tasting and once she had poured it we never saw her again. I thought it would be a home from home experience. There was a shared bathroom which was really cold with the window being kept opened. The shower was cold and at 7.50 I went to the toilet and sat down on to a wet seat which contained bleach. The bathroom was as cold as the owner. She did allow early check in.

£80 for two small twin beds and thin mattresses and no cooked breakfast worked out expensive.The bedroom door kept getting caught up in the mechanisms above the door and was so heavy I struggled to open it. Very noisy up until 12 from B&B opposite and pedestrian traffic off to party/celebrate. The hotel only had us in it so we could have been given a different room. It wasn't the worst place I have stayed in but it wasn't a warm reception and clinical.

Friendly owner

Good choice of cereals and pastries, no cooked breakfast but that wasn't a problem, room was clean and comfortable and in a good location

Couldn't fault the guest house
