Ardenlea House Hotel B&b

This has to be the worst place I have ever stayed!! Driving into it it's like a scrapyard/building site. The whole b&b smells musty like it's not been clean for years. The door doesn't lock from the inside, the rooms aren't sound proof as you can hear people talking and walking round the b&b! The only chair in the room and the leather was peeling off that, the "dressing table" had draw fronts missing off it, the bed was uncomfortable. The plug in heater smells of burning. The breakfast was stale and left out the night before, milk and orange juice in jugs not covered up. I would definitely not recommend this place!!

I did enjoy reading the other reviews.... they made me laugh but they are all true!!! The whole place has such a weird vibe. The man who showed us round did struggle to speak English. It did stink of curry. The radiators and skirting boards were absolutely filthy. The heating was not consistent, when on it was too hot and I think the heaters needed bleeding. We woke up to a horrible noise at 3.30am from the air in them! The shower door was on wonky, it didn't even close. One mirror in the bathroom, no full length. There was a random microwave on the chest of draws. If I wasn't with my partner there's no way I'd have stayed there on my own. We chose not to eat breakfast there.

Charged extra (cash) on arrival due to booking 2 double rooms but they took it as 1 adult per room instead of how you'd perceive a double as 2 people per room. Was told to either pay it or leave immediately. Apparently it's in their policy, so be careful when booking as they couldn't tell us what their policy even was when questioned just kept repeating about wanting more money.. Rude staff member, just marched off quickly to the room without waiting for us to follow or without saying a word. Doors look like they've been kicked in and don't lock, an easy double push opens the door when it's 'locked'. Continental breakfast is off tasting cheerios, a measly stale croissant (if you're quick enough to get one that is) or toast. Flies covering a window of the building. Shower is powerful but either scalding or freezing and isn't much room in the cubicle at all, ventilation is also very lacking as windows don't open in the room and it doesn't get rid of shower or hot tap steam, shocking.. Bed is uncomfortable. Apparent soundproofed rooms is false advertisement, you can literally hear the next door talking and people walking around the building. TV signal drops repeatedly so don't expect to watch anything. The worst nights stay ever.
