The Warren Guest House

I was walking the Hadrians wall path I did 27 miles took detour to Low Crosby where I got a taxi to the GH. Whilst getting in the taxi I get a call the taxi driver says that’ll just be our people so I ignore it it’s about 8pm. I ask him to drop me at the brewers fayre few hundred metres down from the GH to get something to eat. I get another call in the queue and realise it must have been the GH calling so I call back straight away. “Sorry missed your calls I thought it was the taxi company I should be there about 9” I get a “Where are you?” I say I’m not too far away wont be long and she hangs up… I don’t think too much of it and arrive at 9.10pm I walk in where it says entrance and there’s no one around so I just wait a few minutes watching the tv. The front door goes so I look round and the lady is just peering out the front. I say hello and she angrily states why didn’t you ring the bell!? I say I didn’t see one she huffs and puffs asks me to fill a form in which I do. Gives me a key says upstairs opposite you room 5. Before I’m even at the top of the stairs she’s saying dont use both beds!! It’s £100 if you use both beds (twin room and it’s just me.. you tell me?) Opposite me at top of stairs isn’t room 5 so I look right she shouts upstairs angrily have you found it!? Run out of characters here but she demotes me to continental breakfast 😄 only come if you have thick skin rooms are fine maybe she was just having a bad day. I’m leaving before breakfast life’s too short

The guest house is rather tired. A couple of the other guests tried to get into our room whilst we were asleep. They did not realise there were two doors next to each other.

Close to town and motorway which is handy. Noisy traffic outside. Dirty room, dusty, bugs on the bed, dirty blinds, out of date plug on kettle, dirty mugs, not a good experience. Owner was friendly but lady who greeted me was rude and I had out of date jam with breakfast. Not worth the money I didn’t sleep at all!
