Booked, paid for and confirmed. Then they started to demanded copies of driving licence / passport. Sorry this is private and I see no reason why I should supply, especially in this age of identity thrift. …

Don’t book ‘The New Lodge -Cottage- TV in all bedrooms’. Review below - remember, this was advertised as an apartment for 6 people. …

I'm really disappointed. We've had issues from the start. Couldn't get into the building. Code didn't work took almost an hour to gain access. Not clear signage. We're in the apartment so we had allocated parking space which backs to a very unsightly bin area. The apartment stairs and hallway has a awful smell. This was reported 3 days ago, nothing has been done. They've told me this morning they are sorting it. It stinks of poo.The apartment isn't clean even though they stress it's cleaned throughout. It hasn't.We've had to move furniture around, the sofa was under the TV. On moving the sofa it was dusty with an old sock under it.The shower room needs a good scrubbing. I've had to clean it for our use.No general waste bin. We've had to buy sacks. No washing up liquid. Again we've had to buy our own.The first day no hot water in the kitchen. An engineer came out and sorted that. 👌Had to ask for breakfast bowls.The road outside is noisy but didn't bother us.I'm not normally one for complaining but all the little things have upset me. My husband has Dementia I'm disabled and coming to visit family for the last time has put a damper on our much needed holiday. We've paid far too much to stay here. I've asked for a part refund. No reply. I've also said I really didn't want to stay here. But with no refund we have to stay the week.As They've said this place is home from home. It sure isn't.We are planning on where we can go today and get out. We also have to find a restaurant for this evening dinner.Positive..The bed is comfortable.Washer dryer very good.Big flat screen TV.The big negative. The stink!Cooker not cleanNo restaurant.

Room is perfect very clean and well laid out. There is a fridge in the room and a microwave, I found this very helpful it meant I could save money on eating out. And could keep my drinks cool. The staff are very helpful and respond back very quickly. Plenty of parking in a carpark at side of building. And it is easy to access the building and room. I am very happy

Room is perfect for my overnight stay, the management company were faultless, couldn’t do more to make my stay easier. Location is amazing, with a shop a short walk and some lovely pubs within a stone’s throw. Definitely stay here again.

Very clean, good location but there was scaffolding stopping the window opening & it was very warm. Would not book for more than a couple of nights. It's not an apartment it is a room with a small fridge & a microwave
