Lovely room, well presented and very clean. Great location and secluded. We enjoyed the night we was there, very relaxing. Easy to check in via a key safe. Lots of spaces to park outside on the street, right next to the property.

Bay Lodge

Bay Lodge was a lovely little find. Loved the quick and easy self service check in. Room was great with some nice touches (chocolates and biscuits) and plenty of tea, coffee, milk etc. Bed and pillows were amazing! Very comfy and fresh. Will definitely be booking again.

We got in late, but had everything we needed to get into the room without disturbing anybody. The room was clean and the beds were very comfortable. This was much appreciated after several lodging’s that were very uncomfortable.

Great location

It was a great place to stay, and in a very nice area. It was cleaned every day to a high standard and the only thing i didn't like was how dark the room was inside, i needed the light on even during the day most of the time. Other than that no other problems.

Away for work

Room was cosy, good enough for 1 night stay. Good commuincation about how to get in, key safe, etc. There was an odd smell in the ensuite - not sure what was causing it. There was mould on ceiling above shower cubicle. Venue does not have any on-site parking, free parking in streets around venue.

The check-in was easy, good instructions. We didn't see any owners, just entered the property and this is it. Convenient. Room is good, big enough, has everything what you need. But I "met" a lot of spiders. And it was dusty. Kettle, in toilet. Maybe because twin-room isn't much popular and there weren't guests for a long time. But overall it was a nice stay.
