Wilson Lodge

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.

I’ll start with the good: check in was easy and the communication by staff was great. The staff was very friendly, gave us an extra half hour to check out, and stored our luggage for us. The not so great: This property did not look like the photos on the web. It’s quite rundown and shabby. Our sheets had stains and while the listing promised a “private bathroom,” we had to share one across the hallway with other guests. I wouldn’t stay there again, but if you’re on a budget and can live with a little schmutz, you might be OK.

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.

Great place to stay if you'd like to have kitchen access. Fridge, Kettle, Cups, Tea, Coffee, Sugar, Milk provided. Bed was VERY comfortable. Bedding all clean. TV is streaming only - no regular TV channels. Could adjust the room temperature via the radiator dial. The shower is in the room, not in a separate bathroom. It didn't bother me, but it's unusual. It's not a luxurious place to stay, but it's clean, comfortable and affordable in this expensive area. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I was able to drop my suitcases off early in the morning of my check in. There is space to park directly in the grounds of the hotel.

Location is excellent and the people were so friendly and helpful, will def be staying there again if i need a place to stay in that area again :)

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

Nice place to stay. Private toilet and shower shared with one other room. Parking is a little tight!

Sheets and towels were lovely, fresh and clean. TV and tea/coffee facilities available in room. Self service breakfast was really good with good choice and the staff were very helpful and patient with all requests. There’s parking too which was a plus. My only complaint was that our room was accessed via the back garden and there was no light out there at night. We also had a green emergency exit light on all night in our room which was of no use because the emergency exit was blocked by the double bed and the air in the room felt dusty.

I like everything

Poor service checking in. Room doesn’t lock without a lot of effort and room was freezing cold. No one there to talk to either. Shared shower wasn’t much fun either

Only stayed one night. Quiet and pleasant for a short stay. Private toilet room with sink. Shared shower. Good variety of breakfast in the morning.

Clean and comfy

The service and attention was superb. They upgraded us to an ensuite room as was not double bedrooms available, only tween beds, and for no extra cost. The rooms were very well equipped, with fridge, also shared kitchen, which for us was perfect. Overall very happy with the stay, would recommend 100%.

We were staying overnight in the area after attending a funeral. The location was very convenient and the instructions provided re entry to the premises were specific, and there was parking onsite. I guess OYO means on your own? We located our room upstairs. It was very small with a small bouncy double bed. The TV had only Netflix or Utube, no other channels. None of the drawers or cupboard doors staying shut, but sprang open on their own, causing a serious obstacle if one were to get up to the toilet in the night! The room was described as “ensuite” and there was a pedestal sink and toilet with soap and shampoos on the floor, but neither shower nor bath!!! The washing facilities were down the hall. Shades of the 1980s! Our room rate included breakfast, so we were looking forward to a cooked English breakfast to get us on our long journey home. No. It was get your own, searching through cupboards to locate what you needed, fruit drink rather than juice, no perked coffee, etc., and then we were expected to wash, dry and put away our own dishes. Better off with Travelodge or Premier Inn!

The room was tiny, but very clean.There were PLENTY of breakfast options as well. The laundry was extremely convenient as well. The only thing I didn’t like was the air fresheners in the room. They made my nose hurt.
