The Georgian Town House Hotel

“Not as good as last time”

We raved so much about this hotel when we stayed the same time last year that we couldn't wait to return. This time it was different.

We raved so much about this hotel when we stayed the same time last year that we couldn't wait to return. This time it was different. Room 10 was warm and comfortable and perfectly adequate; its location, however, right next to the staircase, meant you could hear any guests walking up. The bathroom looked great, but the hot water tap was almost impossible to turn on; it had to be held in place, as otherwise, it rotated completely round. We did inform reception, but nothing was done, nor did they suggest we relocate to another room. The shower was equally in need of attention. Apart from water spraying all over the place and wetting the floor, it was impossible to turn it off completely and therefore, it dripped all night. We had to ensure the door to the bathroom was closed during the night so that it didn't disturb us. We ate here on both nights and enjoyed the food, which was reasonably priced. The staff were very nice in the restaurant area. Would I stay here again, of course. Perfect location, close to the town centre, free parking, fridge in the room, coffee machine, and comfortable bed. We just struck unlucky with the room this time. Will be more picky next time we stay

“Basic, cheap, security issues and a bit tired”

I would describe this guesthouse as basic, worth the money, but generally a bit tired and needing some attention. We had 2 single rooms, mine being in the roof space.

I would describe this guesthouse as basic, worth the money, but generally a bit tired and needing some attention. We had 2 single rooms, mine being in the roof space. It served a purpose but there were some minor issues and 1 major issue. The room had a broken table lamp, all the fittings in the bathroom were loose, wallpaper hanging off the walls, my dads room door handle came off In your hands. The skylight blind in my room wouldn't stay shut, so I received an early awakening by the sun. Don't book the top floors if you have mobility issues, as its a bit of a climb. It does explain that in the website though. There are signs for a cafe and suggestions of a breakfast being served but there are none. The biggest and pretty serious concern in my opinion was that the key fobs to the rooms opened EVERY room door. I know, because I was able to enter my dads and, with the permission of other guests, I was able to open their doors too. Not great if your a lone female!! That said, it was the cheapest place to stay and the bed was comfortable. There are no visible staff by the way so if you need assistance, you need to phone them.
