Admiral Blake Guesthouse

The accommodation was fine but there were two downsides. There is public parking on the road around the corner but it is very busy and difficult to find a space. We also had a triple room which was comfortable but it fronts onto a busy noisy main road. Good value for money

I stayed here last night and had a really pleasant experience overall. The room was cozy and warm, which made it feel instantly comfortable and welcoming after a long day. I also appreciated the thoughtful touches like the tea and coffee facilities—those little extras always make a difference. One of the absolute highlights of my stay was the lovely resident cat, who I completely adored. Such a charming and unique touch that really made the place feel homely. There was a small issue with slight mould in the shower room, which could use some attention, but it didn’t take away too much from the overall experience. All in all, a nice stay and I’d happily come back again.

Avoid! I've never had to check out of a hotel early and go elsewhere until now. The room wasn't particularly clean, the floor was dirty, there were stains on the bedsheets, the sink wasn't completely clean, and the remote control (which is a good sign of how often a room is cleaned) was encrusted with dirt. Waking up after the first night we felt unclean and to top it off the shower didn't work (it dribbled out either scalding hot or freezing cold). We only spent one night here (out of three) and had to go elsewhere. We contacted the Guest House to tell them this and after our initial contact they have ignored our messages via Hotels.com and text. This has been very unprofessional behaviour as we think it only reasonable that we get refunded for the two nights we didn't stay. Another thing to be aware of, is the strange check-in process, where you are sent a text on the day you check-in with a code for the front door (the lock isn't particularly secure) and your room number. Your room is left unlocked with the key left in there for when you arrive. This feels like an odd process as there's no way of knowing if other people within the property have been in your room before you get there, or if people who have stayed previously have come back in (it seems that the front door code doesn't really change). From a safety point of view it isn't great and I'd hope this changes. Overall, I would avoid this place.

Woke up the following morning with bites all over my body and we could hear every noise from the other tenants

Clean and comfortable.
