Holmlea Guest House  

We were made to feel very welcome and any requests were dealt with very effeciently. Nothing was too much trouble. I would certainly return to Holmlea Guest House.

Everything but in particular the room was very cold and the shower didn't work.

- Breakfast delivered to room - 24hr access - flexible to your schedule needs - Extremely comfy room

The day staff were friendly.

Very basic facilities, kettle didn't work although it was changed. Breakfast is very basic, toast and a yogurt, served in your room. Hotel is unoccupied from 5pm so you could be the only guest in the house, this isn't mentioned in the write up. It was cold and the shower was pathetic.

The ensuite door didn't close properly, the room had a few patches of mildew and was next to the front door so was quite noisy when people was coming and going and the plug socket I used for my hair dryer was faulty and was causing it to stop and start, the hair dryer worked as normal when I changed the plug socket I used.

Ideal location for walking into the City Centre and walking back after a lovely night out. Clean and Tidy. Had and met all the basic requirements for an overnight stay. Staff were incredibly helpful with helping out with parking on our day visit to the city.

Would have been nice if the heating had been turned on prior to our arrival. A few very small changes would have improved the stay i.e. small packet of biscuits being provided with the drinks etc.

Very quiet in nice area. 10 minute walk from the town. Room small, but well equiped with everything required, and good value for money. Booked the standard room, but was upgraded on arrival. Would definitely go back.

Nowhere to leave luggage on day of departure, but otherwise no problems.

The Holmlea guest house was very comfortable and very clean, the staff didn't harrass you and let you get on with your stay. Will definately return if I am ever staying in the area.

Room was clean but small

Nice enough, complicated check in arrangements. Breakfast in room good idea.

The breakfast was not continental as described, but consisted of some toast and yoghurt. There was no separate breakfast room, so we had to eat in the bedroom. Overall, the house was very noisy; we could hear the comings and goings of every other guest. En suite bathroom was cramped and damp.

It was clean and comfortable - nice on-suite shower room. Nice little tv that worked!

I am afraid I have three complaints: 1) No de-caffeinated coffee available - over the phone the owner (I think) suggested they would need advance warning - for decaff coffee!!! 2) They were unable to accept a card for payment (I assume the terminal was temporarily out of action), however, this information was written on a note in my bedroom so they obviously knew of this potential difficulty in advance. When I asked the breakfast staff what would have happened had I not enough cash on me I was told I would have to get some from a cashpoint - well - i don't think so - as if I would have had time to do that anyway 3) Breakfast (served in the bedroom consisting of juice, yoghurt, toast and margarine) was served at 08:30. I assume most folk using a B&B for work purposes would need to breakfast by 07:00 - so 08:30 would nornally be relatively useless.

Warm, comfortable, clean room. Easy to come and go - no restrictions on arrival time up to midnight.

Would have liked more choice for continental breakfast, for example cereals, fruit, and more jam or marmalade! Would have liked instructions for operating tv

The location

The room was very small and the bathroom was tiny and the door didn't shut properly. The breakfast was advertised as continental but in fact was only toast and a yogurt. all in all not very impressed
