Abacus Bed and Breakfast, Blackwater, Hampshire

Yes everything was excellent

I was really pleased with the accommodation, and found it really nice. I was dropped off, so did not require the parking which was directly outside and free. The room was comfortable, breakfast bits provided and the shower facilities although not ensuite were at hand and served me well. I would stay again.

Beds are Very comfortable, very clean and the dsily stock up on Pastry, buscuits and milk ect. Is a brilliant touch.

Abacus is certainly good for the price point, but I wouldn't recommend staying here for more than a couple of days. The room was OK, small and smelled a little odd (I think because of the fridge) but otherwise mostly clean and comfortable. The owner was friendly. Included breakfast was a bonus. WiFi was patchy, which I would normally overlook, but given the mobile reception in the area is bad, it did create a problem. The biggest problem is the shared bathrooms. They're more like tiny cupboards that you can barely move in, and both somehow have a toilet, shower and sink crammed in. They're kept quite clean but given that you have to do some gymnastics to avoid putting your foot in the toilet when getting out of the shower really isn't great. Could do with a bit of a refresh (and a thorough review of the bathroom situation), but otherwise good.

Like: quiet, gr8 walking area,co-operative staff & owner, easy access close to shopping. Not like: changed room at last minute, advised of this almost too late; ceiling above bed very close to head (dangerous); no top sheet (but provided when I asked); stairway to bedroom very steep; only 1 fire exit on ground floor and no key for the possible 2nd exit.
