Admiral Blake Guest House

The property is on the main road, so we parked at the Mercure Hotel which gives you 24 hours for £10 and is a short walk. There is free parking in some of the side roads but you need to be gone by 8 am. The room was clean and well ventilated and the staff on the phone were very friendly and helpful.

There was an outside area we could sit in after our walk and meal out, which was nice instead of sitting in our room. Room/bedding was clean. Shower worked well. Parking an issue, we were lucky and the host was helpful, but it is on a main road you cant park on. Only a walk away from town centre/supermarket.

Even they don’t provide a shower gel in the washroom.

Nice clean room. Easy check in/check out. Helpful and friendly staff. Handy public transport and close to shops

No onsite parking only parking available is on the main road outside. Rooms were a good size for the price.

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.

No parking which was a little problem to unload our bags. With double yellow line outside the place.The communication was great. Our 2 rooms had everything we needed and was very clean. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you very much

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

Clean and comfortable.

Clean rooms

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.

No parking and the stairs is a bit steep

Clean & comfy nice shower & tea & coffee facilities 👍

InSuit room

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