Timrick Lodge

Had to wait outside in 0 degrees for 20 minutes to check in. Free parking is a 10 minute walk away if theres a space on the road. Room very small. Shower dirty. Would not stay again.

When we got there Andy gave us a lovely welcome and was so helpful, our room was lovely and clean and smelt lovely,would definitely recommend to our family and friends and dog friendly so that’s a bonus to us, was only a short walk to beach and shops too.

Well, what a brilliant stay we had, fantastic welcome, the lovely lady that does the cleaning, you are brilliant, room was spotless!!! She also reminded me the owners name which I had forgot, it was Rick with a silent p at the front...I was able to take my dog, which was also brilliant..my mum and uncle also stayed with me, we all had an absolute fantastic stay here. Would highly recommend 👌

I expected Parking to be near not 1.5 miles away. If I had known I would have booked else where.

Timrick is pleasant enough and I liked the decor with its nautical theme. Proprietor met me on arrival and welcomed me. Always available when I needed something or to ask for directions. I asked for some simple things and they were catered for. Kettle in room and preference for a room with only one flight of stairs. All arranged. Bed nicely presented with towels and toiletries, felt homely on entry to the room. Bed a little creaky. I was able to borrow an ironing board and iron. Some noisy guests in the early hours but the proprietor used his best endeavours to remedy this, for which I'm grateful.

Pros- free parking permit for Swannery/Lodmoor car parks; complimentary mini toiletries; plenty of tea/coffee including decaf and good biscuits; clean smelling towels/bedding; ensuite (though this is not standard). Cons- walked in to front room and wasn't greeted but looked at blankly so I wondered whether I'd just walked in to someone's house/it wasn't a guest lodge anymore; room had been 'cleaned' but it just wasn't clean - carpet was gross, bathroom floor not swept/mopped, dust on top of curtains, stain on bedding; there was no room to swing a cat in there (you couldn't open either the ensuite or shower doors fully) and the feeling of a lack of space wasn't helped by a low ceiling height; behind the bed there was a random assortment of wood; spots of black mould around window frames/shower; shower was SO weak and was either icy cold or scalding hot (it took us about 15m across 2 showers to get it about right!) We only stayed for 2 nights and it was passable as the only time we spent there was to sleep/shower but any longer and we wouldn't have kept the booking as it just wasn't comfortable. If you just want a bed/loo, aren't fussed on cleanliness/showering, and want a passable hangout space (the front room has sofas/chairs galore alongside various furniture and bits and bobs with no intention or logic), it'd be fine - my conclusion was basically if you want a cheap place to sleep off a night out it'd suffice, for anything else, avoid!

Nice welcome from owners. Rooms were OK for the price. Would suggest replacing the lumpy pillows (guess they've been washed) as replacements don't cost much. Easy to walk to from train station. Check in and out times convenient.

The bed was comfortable and plenty of tea and coffee as for the bathroom very small, mould around shower and toilet and taps very noisy and very loud outside with swearing and bikes

Staff were really friendly and helpful, though seldom seen when needed. Property was safe and fairly comfortable but in need of work, especially the showers. Freezing or scalding only.
