After a long search on the internet for what I want in an accommodation I went for Abbey Lodge. From the moment I booked the room I promptly got a reply about some questions I had regarding the stay and the room which was a good start I might say. However, as we approached the doorbell I still had a... More

This B and B is ok for an overnight stay...certainly couldn't stay longer. I personally would go out of my way to do what I could for my guest but unfortunately the landlady doesn't and comes across rude and a little too regimental. We felt like we were naughty school kids. The area is run down and rough all the... More

Ok - just my opinion, but I'll share my experience for you to make up your own judgement! I booked a 'budget room' and upon arrival, the owner was friendly enough, then asked for payment (it was prebooked through a booking website) - I simply asked to 'see the room first' when his manner changed abruptly, and he refused -...

Getting off the train we phoned the hotel and asked how far away the hotel was from the station.. only to be sternly put in our place that 'it is not a hotel we actually run a b&b' shrugging the rudeness of this first sentence off we thought she was just a little odd. But after meeting her face to... More

Booked in to arrive between 3pm and 9pm and when I arrived at 6pm the lying manageress had cancelled my booking and had already charged my credit card for the full amount. She lied about trying to contact me and she lied about her credit card machine not working and demanded cash. After I checked my bank statement and she... More

This is a well-furnished, clean and comfortable establishment. That said, they do not go the extra mile. When booking I made it clear via email we had to catch the 0815 Brittany ferry to France the next day.By return email, I was told no problem--a taxi next morning at 0730 would see us there in time. However, on arrival when... More

Booked Abbey Lodge via LateRooms.com and although it seemed a little pricey for a B&B (we were charged £70 per room plus an extra £20 upon check-in for breakfast), we are certainly not complaining! We were greeted very warmly and shown to our comfortable en-suite room which was very well equipped with little extras you would expect to find in... More

Having just landed after a 6 month tour of Afghanistan I was in need of a place to stopover for a night and booked the Abbey Lodge because it was a reasonable price. However, after my train was delayed I found myself arriving 25 mins after the cut-off time for checking in. When I rang the bell I was met... More

I made this booking at very short notice and was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed my stay. The owner, Linda was pleasant and cheerful throughout my brief stay and helped in recommending a local Indian restaurant to eat at. The room was spotlessly clean and well appointed and contained extras that one would normally find in a hotel,... More
