Happy Guests Lodge

Scruffy entrance . Dirty corridor. In room: Broken mirror, toilet and bin not cleaned in months. Something white splashed over wall, tv screen and mirror then left to dry. Breakfast very very minimal. All in all not a place to stay.

I booked a room for my friend and I in January 2026 for August 2026, the day before the date which we were supposed to check in I had a phone call stating they couldn’t accommodate us which caused a lot of hassle due to us having a festival booked for the weekend and this was our place to stay. Would not recommend very unreliable, I asked if there was any other options to accommodate us and the man on the phone was extremely unhelpful. They stated it was a “maintenance issue” which I gaurantee would’ve been a load of 💩 due to them realising it was the weekend of the festival so prices would increase and would’ve offered more money for the room than what we paid.

Having stayed in a wide range of accommodation over the years, I can honestly say this was one of, if not the worst. It appears to have long term residents. In the room, they take the form of spiders, etc. that have created some impressive living accommodation for themselves. They obviously don't mind the battered and decrepit building, as well as the musty stench that has had greater aging than some whisky. It included "continental breakfast ", which is a loose term, and was never tested, as the cleanliness of what I could see didn't give me confidence in what I couldn't see. On a positive, the parking was plentiful, and the location convenient. But, not convenient enough to warrant ever staying here again. I did get to meet the Porsche driving owner, and explain my concerns. The money definitely goes on his vehicle, rather than the property. His response was they were planning on refurbishment, but it was apparent it was more akin to polishing a "turnip", than the gutting it requires.

There was no main light and hot water. The mattress is too old and the tea cups were not cleaned
