Lockyer House B&B

Nothing it was the 2nd worse place we have stayed in. Pictures on website are overly exaggerated.

So unorganised and unprofessional check in. The building and area looked very sus - I would not like to stay there on my own. We did not feel safe at all. The shower was so small and pressure so slow and just like a dribble. TV did not work - even with new batteries. To get to breakfast we had to leave our building through the back and walk in the rain to another building and go upstairs. Weird!!! Breakfast finished at 9 and we walked in at 8.45 and were told that we had come in on the tail bit!! Breakfast was OK, nothing to rave about. Definitely will never stay here again. You could hear people talking in their rooms.

Breakfast was good. Tasty and available time of serving good. Location to work was very good, just 10 minutes away.

The owner, a man, comes across as somewhat unhelpful and stolic. I initially booked 2 nights. Parking was free (1 vehicle). My work required a further night stay and my wife on phoning to arrange was informed by the owner that I would not have free parking. Apparently only other booked customers staying would have parking. There was also a fire work display being put on hence another reason why I wouldn't have parking free or not. My Wife mentioned about paying for the parking but the owner still said I would have to move my car elsewhere. Where? out on the street where he said there would be availability to park. The nearby streets are full of parked vehicles so it would be a case of looking for parking much further away. Having re booked another night stay and being a customer I simply cannot understand what the issue is with having the parking space? I work all over the UK, am in the construction industry and stay at many various hotels, travel lodges, B & B's, private residences, etc., and happy to give good to top reviews. Unfortunately, on this occasion, Lockyer House falls short in respect. Some warmth to being dealt with and more of a friendlier customer service would go a long way in respect of the owner.
