Diana Lodge

Needed somehere at short notice and the web reviews and pictures of this place looked good. This place was a true example of how false some web reviews can be. I will let you make your own mind up, and let the photos do the talking. Note the fresh orange seperated in the jug, the microwave reheated cooked breakfast, the holes in the walls, the poor standard of the rooms, lights not working. Just look at these real photos

We reserved a room well in advance to be sure to get the best suitable accomodation for us. We mainly needed location as we travel by train. We emailed the property to ask info about airport transfer as they wrote about, in their internet site. As an answer we got their cancellation. It seems they are closed on that day. It was still more than a month to go but it has been awkward to find another accomodation, and we couldn't find a good one for us. Being a b&b, we easily understand their opening season can differ from a hotel or may suffer changes due to unexpected reason. Anyway we can't understand why they informed us only when we wrote them to ask info, not earlier. We do apologize if a serious matter is the reason of cancellation, but if we hadn't written to ask info...would we have been aware of cancellation on arrival day ...? 🤔

The photos on Trip Advisor are well and truly dated, bedroom (4) small, extremly cramped, bedside table/lamp unreachable behind the bed! advertise coffee/tea in room, yes if you want one drink on one day of a two day stay! Not replenished, kettle on floor - not good for health & safety, dining room way too small, breakfast was downright terrible, scrambled egg that had brown/burnt bits in it, bacon that could have passed as shoe leather, dry, overcooked and cheap, the hair of the proprietor cooked into my fried egg topped it off! Cheap instant coffee - undrinkable! We avoided the breakfast on the second morning! Would advise Tripadvisor to have a good long look at this place, would recommend that you avoid this place! Proprietor asked on morning we left why we didnt want breakfast, explained about her hair being in the breakfast, her reply - 'you should have told me', seeing that we only saw her when we booked in and when she served the breakfast, when we did see her, I did tell her! £120 wasted - should have booked somewhere else!
