Debden Guest House  

Nothing probably the worst we have stayed at

For the price it was very good value for money. The location was ideal as we were visiting friends in Hillingdon but they did not have room to put us up. It was clean, comfortable and had all the facilities required.

Convenient for visiting our family. Cheap & cheerful.

No hot water in bathroom sink tap. Finding a pair of someone else's knickers under the bed!

Cooked breakfast.

There was nobody there to receive us at 9.30pm. Another guest showed us where a room key had been left for us..??!

The coffee was good, the wifi worked and the shower was good. Although the owners claim no-one else has ever complained, they willingly gave us a discounted rate.

We stayed at several B&Bs during out 2 week holiday in the UK, and this was a huge disappointment compared to all the others, which ranged from very nice to exceptional. There is no staff on site at Debden. The room and the linen did not smell fresh. The carpet and walls were stained and some surfaces were dusty. There was no information in the room - there was supposed to be a folder in the hall for several rooms to share, but it wasn't there. Althought the room was large, the arrangement of furniture made it crowded and the TV was mounted ridiculously high on the wall. No effort has been taken with the garden. The milk was sour and sugar bowls empty at breakfast. All in all an unhappy ending to an otherwise excellent holiday.

Friendly staff, nice cooked breakfast

Rooms need decorating

Dated tatty decor. Shared table at breakfast. Cheap cereals and tea.

Good off street parking. Good sized room. Better than average breakfast, in a pleasant dining room. Facilities provided for self catering in the evening.

Room facilities good and newly decorated. Microwave for warming food. Good value for money

Communal areas a bit tatty. No reception - have to phone twice to make arrnagements to collect keys.

Needed overnight stay between connections at London's Heathrow Airport. This facility was close to the airport. Also, it was close to several pubs (walking distance). Spacious room.

No one there when I arrived - had to call a phone number to be given instructions as to how to enter facility. Also had to call that number to obtain information as to where I might obtain a meal. Finally, I was unaware of the required 10 am check out time, so I was in process of getting dressed/packing when I was literally forced from room. Was allowed to use hallway bathroom to finish preparations, but moving all my things to that location caused me to lose time. Bathroom sink there would not empty and the only staff person remaining in the house by that time spoke no English and was unable to help me. She did not even want to come up the one set of stairs so I could illustrate the problem.

It was OK and the breakfast was very nice (typical English I think)

it could use a bit of a refurbishing

Friendliness of owner - good breakfast

Relying upon a mobile phone to make contact upon arrival - if someone doesnt have a mobile, they are going to have difficulties gaining access.

Excellent value for money.
