Admiral Blake Guesthouse

I booked two rooms for the carnival night. I booked the Admiral Blake because they advertised free parking. The week before the stay my wife read some reviews that I had not. They said beware the AB has no parking. I contacted the owner who said the parking was free!! but not at the property it was street parking only in the streets around the property. He told us we should get there early in the morning as the parking would probably be full as it was carnival night. I tried to book a car park online but all were full. I was bringing my daughter and the grandchildren we had two cars. We made the decision not to travel the 320 mile round trip as it was probable we would not find parking. I would not have booked rooms at the AB if the owner and Hotels.com had stated that the AB had no parking only street parking.

No parking and the stairs is a bit steep

Carpet had a wet spot. Room smelled musty. Shower kind of moldy tile. Bed was ok but room was hot. Wife said she thought the linen had not been changed so she slept with her clothes on. I thought it was clean but old. Parking was find your own in nearby street (which we could, but thought there was dedicated parking).

There was no parking even pay parking was limited

Reasonable price, good wifi. Easy check in. No parking. Cold shower. Noisy room.

Despite the communication with the Guest House team being good prior to arrival, we were somewhat disappointed with the accommodation. How others can rate this as 5/5 is beyond me. Guest House advertises as having 'free parking' this is totally misleading, there is no parking at all at the premises guests have to park in nearby street parking or local car parks subject to availability. We found ourselves driving around the location for maybe 30 mins or more looking for parking space, not really what we wanted after a 4 hour drive! We booked the 'Suite, En Suite' which was meant to be x1 Single Bed & x1 Double Bed, which is advertised as having Separate Bedroom, DVD Player, Kitchen, Dishwasher, Toaster, Microwave, CookWare and utensils. What we got was one room with 3 single beds and no amenities except a kettle & cups and towel. Finally the bathroom, there was a horrible sewage smell possibly coming up from the drains in the shower or sink. Not a place we can recommend.

I was given Room 18; avoid this room if you can. Right next to the communal kitchen area. I was woken several times either by late-nighters heating up their take-aways or early-risers. Room was 'bijou. Pity because host David had been kind and efficient on the phone earlier.

Very comfortable room at an affordable price. WiFi wasn't very good but everything else was

It was a clean comfy room.very noisey outside but that isnt thier fault .it a pity the shared kitchen not available any more.a long mirror on wall would of been nice as well.the owner seemed nice when i briefly met him.easy to get in.

The room was ok and kept very clean and lovely room to sleep in only downfall was that there was no meals available which meant it was a very expensive weekend having to buy food for evety meal.

Room was clean, well prepared, warm when I arrived. Comfortable bed. Stayed in room 14. No warm water on tap.

I was very disappointed in the room where I found stains on the bedding. I have taken pictures of it. I have told my boss where my boss had booked me into very dissatisfactory.

All the above ratings over 1 overnight stay. Good shower but runs very hot at times and difficult to control this is just an observation comment not a criticism.

Bedclothes and towels needed a good wash- somebody was sleeping in them already?

Absolutely lovely stay, really friendly place, will definitely come back and can’t wait. Felix the cat is gorgeous

Very bad services. You have no one to turn to when some guests misbehave almost the entire night. You don't know whether to call the police or the facility manager. Noise and uproar, no sleep. A bed with a bad mattress. if you leave the facility before time, the money is not returned.

Was a lovely place to stop over for the night, was upgraded which was a bonus, would recommend to anyone, the manager is very helpful if you need to check in late

Can't say too much as when we arrived we were locked out.we were delayed in Cheltenham and when we turned up it was to a note on the door informing us that there was no night staff. I texted a helpline who did manage to find us another hotel but as they insisted on photo id whic i dont have , we decided to drive home arriving very tired and angry. Doubtful if a refund is on the cards either so will stick to Premier Inn in future
