We booked to stay at Garden Lodge through Booking.com based on the 4 star rating given and the photographic images. We did try to see the reviews on the site but none were given owing to "not enough reviews being given"' On arrival we were shown to our room which smelled damp and musky. There were wrapped chocolates on the... More

We stayed two nights in this cluttered B&B. Our room looked like there had been an explosion of synthetic fabrics in 1990 and never been dusted since. In the bathroom there was everything one needs.....pluspoint. but we didnt feel very welcome. Owners wife had a stroke and taking care of wife and B&B maybe was a bit too much to... More

I stayed here for one night it was one of the worst nights sleep I have ever had, the pillow cases had someone else's dribble on them and the sheets were covered in hairs and smelt really bad. I can not express how awful it was. I would have left with my children as soon as we arrived but I... More

We stayed 4 nights, with my family, one 3 years old child and one baby. I can't believe how this old woman can still run this lodge. She is so mean and rude. We paid in advance by internet so we had to stay. We try to take advantage in having good time in swimming pool. DAY 1 : we... More

Reading some of the reviewers' comments, I wonder if they stayed in the same place as us. The proprietors, Ron and Sue could not have been more welcoming. The hotel is very well'appointed and the rooms were clean and cosy ( which given the awful weather outside, we really appreciated) The TV coverage does not do justice to the place.... More

I stopped here in December only to be greeted by an awful rude woman. you were overwhelmed by all the horrible items which I would describe as trash hanging from the walls. Wherever you looked there was some kind of crap, the room which I paid 85 quid for was a complete joke. had i only remembered to bring my... More

I phoned up the elderely couple who run this place before I booked a night away for me and my partner. There was a great weather forecast for that day and we felt like a night away lounging by a pool. I asked if the pool was open and the elderly man said "oh yes". I booked online, then noticed...

The only positive thing about this place is the location near to both ferry and tunnel terminals. On arrival off a busy road, you are interogated by the owner, a fearsome woman that seems intent on making you feel as uncomfortable as possible. This feeling is enhanced when you go into the public areas that are filled with what can... More

This is the worst place i have ever stayed at. The hotel was full of dated trash that really made me want to pack up and leave not unpack and stay. If I wasn't so tired after a long car trip I would have done just this. Isn't it 2009 not 1809? What a shame there wasn't more space to... More

I feel compelled to add the experiences of myself and my partner to this catalogue of woes, in the help it will assist others in avoiding this place from hell. My partner and I had the great misfortune to experience first hand what everyone else has been saying. We cannot comment on the breakfast, because we had to escape from... More
