考提小屋 & 釀酒廠(County Lodge & Brasserie)

Took nearly 30mins to book in. Keys missing to room. Had to get the housekeeping key. Bathroom light and one wall light not working. Bathroom extractor ran continuously even when light off. Bed sloped from foot to headboard like sleeping with feet up. Very poor mattress. Cleanliness overall poor. Seating in restaurant very badly stained to the point did not want to sit on it so missed breakfast. Carpets and radiators in bedroom very dirty.

Sadly this place has started to look very unloved and shabby. The bar and dining in the main building still looks ok but does need a little tlc. However, the Lodge actually looks like a condemned building! The surroundings are full of ****s and the place in in dire need of some paint and repairs. The bedrooms initially didn't appear to bad, just a little dated..however we soon discovered several things not working including 2 x lights so it was very dingy. We also found out in the morning that the window that opened straight onto the side of the street was actually open slightly and it didn't have a handle to close it! Advised staff politely upon leaving and they were lovely and very apologetic. This places sorely needs to some love, attention and updating if it is to survive.

This use to be a very neat and tidy establishment. Unfortunately it has become run down with a lack of care and maintenance. Outside patio area growing ****s and there was a rusting broken chair present. My room had been of a reasonable standard, but was now looking somewhat dated and the mattress on the bed was well past its use by date as you felt the base and frame of the bed. I enquired about a change of room or the mattress was changed, but nothing was available apart from reporting to management. Stay Wednesday through Friday night, not happy.

Over night stop over. Quick checking in, lodge and Brassiere in a good condition, staff were very helpful and friendly. enjoyed are evening meals, very easy to find. But the car park could do with a little tidy up.

The windows wouldn’t close the wind was howling in. Carpets dirty bed uncomfortable, chairs in dining room stained, very run down. Half the food on menu run out, two hour wait for food. Very embarrassing for the poor girl who was trying her best to be nice to everyone and pacify them for the long wait.

This is a good B&B for people who are passing through. It is pretty basic but this is reflected in a very reasonable price. The service was ok but suffered from being understaffed. The young man on the bar was very friendly and gave us some good suggestions for local places to visit.

Short of staff and probably now getting most business from workers and bikers, this small hotel on a busy corner has seen better days. Plus points: very clean room with a decent bed, bedding and towels, adequate hair dryer and a kettle with storage sufficient for short stay. Weaker items: check in, it took 15 mins searching and calling to find someone and having emptied my car i then discover my room is outside in another decrepit building up some stone steps. No help offered. Bathroom, tiles need re grouting and toilet flushes only with several swings of handle. Lights must be 20 watt as very gloomy. TV too small to see any words from bed. Breakfast not proper continental as just yoghurt, bread, pastries with toaster. No ham, cheeses and such. Also laid for exact numbers limiting choices. No tea range. Overall this seemed £20 too much given how tired it is and while staff are pleasant there is no passion to be in hospitality, no enquiry as to enjoyment or offers of info. Met cleaning lady who seems an asset. Used as stop over on way to funeral. Did not re book for return journey. Did morning walk on canal side and place is littered and too much dog pooh. Very sad place gone to seed.

When we arrived we were informed that although we had booked they had a “known issue” with ******* bookings not always going through and there were no rooms available for us. We were two females in a completely unknown area. We were offered a room where a staff member slept but there was no working toilet and you needed to fill an ice bucket with water and tip it down a few times to flush the toilet. As there was no other accommodation we could find nearby we accepted this at a discounted rate of half price for the two nights. We had to wait for them to clean the room and change bedding etc. We stayed one night and then decided to cut our trip short and head back home early. We used the room in the afternoon to freshen up before going to check out. The manager was incredibly rude about us checking out early, and her overall attitude was not hospitable in the slightest. I would not book there again.

The room in a separate block was ok..but strangely you had to walk right ariund the main building to get to it...and in reverse for breakfast..ok today but in the winter? The wall holder for the hairdryer was loose and therefore unsafe..continental breakfsst was very meagre and items had to be chased up with the waitress who came in and out. Location is good and parking convenient and the room was clean though smekt musty as if not used for a while At the end of the day you get what you pay for and for what I paid I suppose it was just ok
