I'm astonished at the negative reviews below! OK, it's not a five-star establishment, but I had a very pleasant stay. The owner is extremely nice, the room was fine (I booked and paid for a single and was given a twin), the bed comfortable, the shower hot and with great water pressure, the location perfect - extremely handy for the...

If you like Swedish light wood furniture, and simply want to be left alone to do your own thing then this is not the place for you. The style is definitely Victorian in nature, including lots of dark wood and "fussy" decoration. However, if you like that sort of thing, then there are loads of original features, including the mosaic... More

Stayed for 2 nights broken headboard, broken draw front, no milk, black net curtains, tv didnt work, shower control stuck no internet. DIRTY! Please look at photos. This could be a fantastic place such a great shame as a great location and a beautiful building that desires better. More

This place was truly appalling - I wish I'd seen this website before booking because I would have taken heed of the poor reviews. My room was tiny and dusty. The mattress was uncomfortable and smelt slightly musty. The washbasin had hot water coming out of both taps. The TV remote control was missing the back and held together with... More

I actually found the reviews quite shocking for this place. I go to a convention that is held just down the road from this B&B either every year or every other year. For 2006, 2007 and 2008 me and my friends have stayed here and loved it. The breakfast in the morning has always been excellent, we get along well... More

Unfortunately this is the worst hotel we have ever stayed in. It was dirty, dingy and dusty. The bathroom floor looked as if it had never been washed, carpets were the worst for wear and the plastic flowers were covered in dust. The whole place needs a refurbishment. Crockery in the room did not match and was stained inside. On... More

If you've always liked the look of the Bates Motel in Psycho then this is the place for you... Dirty, creepy, and in the heart of the red light district (complete with working girls outside the front door). If I had been staying here on my own, I would have turned on my heels and gone...anywhere! Even a soulless hotel... More

House looked lovely from the outside but was dissapointing. Room was shabby and the shower room smelt bad - like mould and drains. Wasn't too friendly either, and breakfast was pretty low quality. Poor for the price. More

Spindle Lodge is a delightful late Victorian building in a good location, a short walk from the station and with parking at no charge. It's well looked after and furnished, but a small hotel like this really ought to be able to do better than the lukewarm welcome I got. I'd look elsewhere next time. More
