Spring Garden Guest House

Very friendly and welcoming host The decor was dated but if you can see passed that the landlady is the loveliest lady you could meet, she was so helpful and kind and couldn’t do enough for us.

This lovely quaint Guest House was ideal for us on New Year's Eve as we were invited to a Masquerade Ball held at The Queens Hotel which was only a 6 minute walk away from the Guest House. We were initially thinking of going by taxi but trying to get a taxi on New Year's Eve is a nightmare and there's no guarantee anyway that they would actually turn up. Also, the taxi was working out about the same price as a one night stay here! Hence, it was a no-brainer. The property has excellent free parking around the back. The bed was nice and comfortable, the shower was powerful and the room was spacious, warm and quiet. The host (Heather) is a really charming lady and it was lovely chatting to her over breakfast. We had fresh fruit and yoghurt, tea and toast (lots of choices for jams, honey, marmalades etc). Heather then brought in some yummy freshly cooked croissants which were a real treat with a nice coffee. This was the perfect stay for us and meant that we could enjoy New Year's Eve without the stress of how we were going to get home. We would have no hesitation in booking this venue again for future stays. Thank you so much Heather! 😊

Lovely little BnB A wonderful host. Quaint older building which is very well maintained and clean and tidy. Very close to all amenities. Great value for money.

Felt like coming home - treated like I was family by the staff.

The building outside was decidedly shabby. The single room I started in was very small without anywhere whatsoever to put a suitcase after emptying it. This was the very first bed-and-breakfast I have stayed in in the last 10 years that did not provide any kind of body soap or shampoo. Everywhere else I have stayed has had a dispenser on the wall in the shower. The breakfast provided was very poor. It consisted of possibly one dozen boxes of cereal placed in the middle of the table, bread for toast and chocolate chip croissant with regular Croissants still all in the packages. There wasn’t protein of any kind until the day we were leaving where I noticed on the corner of the table in a small sealed package of salami and cheese. Upon leaving I was unable to pay my bill because the landlady did not know how to finish the transaction and getting a receipt for me to sign. My friend and I had just come from the Isle of Wight where a bed-and-breakfast was 10 pounds a night less and provided a full English breakfast. The landlady was very sweet which is why I actually gave three stars, however, I do think she needs to go and check out how it’s supposed to be done.

It was great, very friendly and nice and quiet
