ザ ダコタ

This guest house is very simple and clean.

Clean and comfortable accommodation representing good value for money.

I was at The Dakota for four nights and two of them were a bit of a challenge but the managers were amazing. Brilliant communication and were able to help me. They offered suggestions for where to eat too which was a bonus. It was a nice and quiet location and the rooms were quiet too aside from some banging doors from other guests but that’s to be expected. The key lock boxes were fabulous and I felt very safe as a solo traveller. There was the odd few cobwebs and the bathroom smelled a bit damp but nothing major. I would stay there again.

Quiet area, clean, decent sized room. Would stay again and recommend. Easy self check in

My stay at the Dakota met my expectations. The people in charge contacted me before hand to let me know the arrangements which were straight forward. My stay was most comfortable and without fuss.

Did what it said on the can. Comfortable place to stay for the night, and at a good price. No staff on site but cgeck in instructions were clear, everything was set up for our arrival and we had everything we needed. Would stay here again. Couple of Premier Inns nearby (driving) if you need a breakfast buffet option.

On arrival we noticed the room hadn't been cleaned there were marks on sheets quilt cover mattress protector. We text the owner i think to ask for the bed to be remade. Removal of dirty underwear found in a draw plus empty bottle of shower wash out of the shower. The shower when wet was slimey wall and tray. The grout was orange/pink where it hadn't been cleaned. Marks in the toilet, extractor fan was jamed up with dust cobwebs. Cobwebs in the bedroom been there for a long time as black. Blind did not work properly the small window did not close Or lock. The quilt was a 13.5tog far to heavy for summer only 1 pillow each. Dust everywhere even on top of the kettle the 2 glasses were coverd in finger prints and marks, there were no spoons to stir your tea, a very small tv for the size of the room. The text messages i received from the owner whilst we were out for Dinner ( there know this) did interrupted our dinner out with friends.

The room was clean and a good size, with space to walk around both sides of the bed. Had a closet and drawers for storage, a small table and chair for work. The bed was comfortable. The shower room was clean and stocked with the basics. Plenty of parking at the back for cars. In a small SUV it was a tight squeeze as the entrance was to the side of the building between the main house and the external rooms to the left. As it was self-check in, didn't meet anyone other than other guests coming and going. Communication via text was good and responsive.

Location great, check in experience straightforward, but shower dirty and moudly, room smelt abit musty.

Really good value in a quiet area away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Unfortunately the village shop closed down a year or so ago so get your snacks en route :) Basic rooms but very clean, good parking and great value for money. Nice friendly pub nearby. Can be tricky to enter the rear car park in a larger vehicle but manageable. Could do with better access to drinking water is my only suggested improvement (e.g. free bottle of water or water fountains in the communal areas).

Clean room and comfortable bed, plenty of parking. Quiet. No food, but close to a pub serving meals. The only reason that it hasn't scored as excellent is that the self check in details only arrived after the time we should have left home in the afternoon to get there, and we chased them as we were concerned. Will stay again.

Great place to stay, easy check in and access to room, nice and clean

Had problem getting into room, no key to open door. Electronic door, you had to key in a number provided by owner. I triied 2 doors because 1st door would not open, the second door would not open. Tried another door and it open. No staff on site only a contact number.

Used the Dakota a few times in the past.. Car Parking is a little issue with tightness to get into but the room was clean, tidy

Great location

You get what you pay for at the Dakota... It is really good accomodation..Everything is Clean, bright and has a new fresh feel.

Room extremely dated, carpet worn, dirty, cobwebs & dusty.stains on the walls, moldy bathroom. Didn’t get any sleep due to other guests banging doors & being noisy. Cheap room but cleanliness was extremely poor.

We've been staying here for the last 2 years as its close to my sons exam centre, ( hes only 15) but its also far enough away that its very quiet and peaceful. We get a good nights sleep everytime we stay, 4 times last year 4 times this may/june. Amazing walking areas close by, a local Chinese next door, rooms are very spacious, very clean and tidy, shower rooms imagulate, always plenty of toilet roll and washing accessories ( which is always a bonus if you forget), towels also provided, bed linen is always clean and fresh, a new vending machine which has brilliant prices to next to.the main entrance. We feel secure within the building as its a code to get in the main building and then one into your own rooms. Lovely friendly staff on site if you catch them ad they're always busy xx

Everything was fine. Check in was easy. Messaged about no towels and the lady told me there was. There wasn’t. Bought my own and wasn’t bothered about there being none but the fact she assumed I was lying instead of just apologising. Easy mistake. Window was broken but she told me the button worked. It never hence the cobwebs and noise from gravel in the car park. Really nice b and b. Shame about attitude of the host when I asked about towels. A simple apology would have sufficed. Then she argued the window did shut it but it never. Everything else was of a decent standard. Said she would check the cameras about towels during a property reset and let me know. I assume they have and realised she was wrong hence no message as promised. If you get something wrong just own up to it. Would not have been a problem until I was told I was wrong. Left the receipt for the towels as a gift. Nice b and b wrong attitude.

Everything you need for an overnight stay. Very clean and spacious. Only thing let it down was the narrow opening to the side of the building to get to the Car Park especially returning late at night. Otherwise great facilities.
