We recently stayed at Longs Inn in Woburn for one night and, unfortunately, were quite disappointed. The property is in need of some updating and, overall, we found it looked tired, outdated and rather scruffy.
Our bedroom had clearly been dusted and hoovered, and the bed itself was comfortable, but the furniture was very old and the room generally felt like it needed some investment. The bathroom was particularly disappointing, with black mould around the edges of the shower. The bedroom window was also out of shape and wouldn’t shut properly.
Although tea and coffee-making facilities were provided in the room, there were no other amenities available to us. The entrance we used led into a very dingy, pub-like lounge area with tables, chairs and a bar, but it looked as though it hadn’t been used for some time and didn’t feel particularly welcoming.
There was also no breakfast available at the inn. We found Margo’s nearby instead, which was a real highlight of our stay. The breakfast was lovely and the latte was probably the best I’ve ever had!
On the positive side, the bed was comfortable and, for one night, the accommodation was adequate. However, we felt that Longs Inn was very overpriced for the standard of accommodation provided, particularly given the condition of the bathroom and the general appearance of the property.
Sadly, we wouldn’t choose to stay again.
