The Sherwood - Guest house

This place is an absolute dive! Communication with the host is difficult as English is obviously not their first language. They weren't there when we arrived. We had to wait about 5 minutes for them to turn up and even the they weren't very friendly at all. As they opened the main door the stench if the place blew me away. The smell was disgusting. We were on top floor. When we went to unlock the door to our room we realised we didn't need a key. The lock was faulty and you could just push the door open. The carpets were absolutely filthy, with stains all over them. The bathroom had not been cleaned. The toilet was absolutely disgusting. The shower had never been cleaned, there were complimentary toiletries from the previous guest that had been used and not disposed of. There was also rubbish from the previous guest in the drawers by the bed. The place was absolutely minging. We were totally disgusted by it but had no other option but to stay there the night. I will be contacting booking.com to strike them off their list.

I was shocked by how awful this was.I have booked budget before but nothing like this.It was a last minute double room.We had to phone and wait to get in.The room was up a dingy staircase with worn carpets at the back of the building overlooking a hideous yard area..Decor and furniture was old and shabby.The room was small with a tired,rusty looking metal bed frame and the curtains literally hanging off the rails with missing curtain hooks.The dark red carpet looked 1950s and as if it had never been cleaned.Bathroom totally unmodernised.the sheets looked clean but that was it I'm afraid.I felt so depressed we decided to stay up the road.This has never happened before.Sorry guys but the favourable reviews on the site wer totally misleading.It was cheap,£79, so maybe this particular room was not usually used.Never again.

Booked ,but cancelled same day as vendor would not allow check-in after 18:00. Do not book if there is any possibility of arriving late as vendor will not accommodate your needs. She was infact quite rude as when I said I was travelling from 2 hours away and might hit traffic, she said just cancel then.
