Wilson Lodge

What hotel are the pictures of this place for? They make it look bright and airy and modern. Our experience was of a dim,musty smelling room that was in dire need of repairs/decoration and with a combined shower/toilet wet room that was very shabby. Beds were old and noisy. The members of staff we interacted with were pleasant and helpful and the Heath Robinson continental breakfast affair in the kitchen was ok for one morning. Did the job for one night but wouldn’t even consider going back under any circumstances.

Not worth it. You can hear everything from outside, next room, boiler, toilet flush, opening door, key lock.. literally everything. Went out for dinner came back and called the number at the door because I didn't get any message about the code. Whoever answered the phone didn't sound happy and kept talking about I should have received a message with the code. I even checked again - nope. I did not get any code. He kept telling me I should have checked my message but I asked the code as I was at the door literally. Very impolite and ruined the rest of stay. It was just super basic and not really worth for money.

Your credit card is no good here! When I booked the room, my intention was to pay at the lodge. They didn't take a credit card but wanted me to log into their wifi and transfer the money from my account to theirs. I ended up paying with cash, though I needed that cash to give to a friend for football tickets. The room was clean and comfortable but no TV. Well there was a TV set but no channels to watch. A note in the room said to push either the youtube or netflix button on the remote. There was no Netflix button however. Breakfast was self serve, meaning you go in one cabinet for bread for toast, another for plates, fill a kettle, take out teabags, etc. I didn't mind, it's just that this was a first for me and i average about 30 days a year in hotels.

Very clean, safe, 22 min walk to train station, easy check-in, they send you a one time code via e-mail, to enter and get your room key at the reception, easier check out, just to drop off the key in a box, mini fridge in room, private WC in room, shared shower, which I saw always available, cookies, 2 water bottles, liquid and mini bar hand soaps. Two water faucets, you need to decide to wash your hands, face and mouth with very hot or very cold water. Nothing in between. No sheet to cover, only a very small comforter, like children’s size. No thermostat in my room, temperature just little colder than my liking. I got an e-mail: “The kitchen is set up for guests to use , feel free to use it , just please make sure it is clean and tidy ready for the next person to use. There is yogurt, juice, eggs and milk in the fridge” Upon check-in around 6pm I entered the kitchen to cook eggs, but someone came and didn’t let me, saying that it was for the morning. I checked-out at 10 AM, but they let me park my car until the afternoon that I came back from London.

comfortable The location is beautiful, the house is not too far away from the town's centre and within walking distance from the railway station. Check- in was easily done. The accommodation was clean and the room is equipped with everything you need. There is a kitchen in which the guests can prepare their own food.

Great value for money
