Hollybush guest house

The owner of this guesthouse seemed nice but I was literally shocked when I saw the room. I booked a standard single (non-ensuite) and it was a rip off - for almost £50 I got the smallest room you can imagine (not even 2m wide I think). If I had a suitcase, I wondered where or whether I could have placed it in the room. There was something like a desk as well, but I literally had to remove a shelf in order to be able to open my laptop on it (wireless wasn't working either -- apparently it worked downstairs, but I didn't bother to check). If you are claustrophobic, don't choose this gueshouse. Apart from the shocking size, I have to say the room looked shabby, the carpet was old and stained, and it generally looked depressing. It was worse than rooms in student halls in terms of both size and quality of furniture. It was also noisy, facing the ringroad. I could not wait to leave this place. Breakfast was nice, however, fresh coffee, orange juice, and other cooked options. Shower room was nice too, and much more spacious compared to the room.

Booked tonight through *********** to stay here June 2023 for 1 night. After booking confirmed got an email from guesthouse to say they wouldn't accommodate me for that price wantedan extra £80. Avoid.

Booked in December for 1st-3rd July as we were going to Silverstone for the Grand Prix weekend and the Hollybush was pretty much the nearest accommodation to the track still available. I received email confirmation from both booking .com and the Hollybush direct confirming dates and expected arrival time in December. At 14.15 on Friday 1st July whilst we were in the stands at Silverstone watching the F1 I received a call from the Hollybush that there had been a mistake and they couldn’t accommodate us and basically didn’t care that we had nowhere to stay and only explanation was an error in the booking system.
