Very poor. We paid for a deluxe triple room as it was cheaper than a standard double, when we arrived the gentleman told us we couldn’t have that room as it was under occupied and would have to have another room.
The room was poor

Avoid this place

Adequate but dissapointing.

We stayed at Anand Lodge for one night while attending a family funeral the next day. We chose this hotel because it was the cheapest in the local area. It was pretty basic. Our room was on the second floor and as we both have mobility issues, it was difficult to climb and descend so many stairs. The bathroom was adequate, but there is a serious problem with the temperature control of the shower head. It ran extremely hot and could potentially be dangerous.

The booking process did not make it clear about arrangements for breakfast. We ended up not having any provided by the Anand. I went to somewhere local before checking out.

On arrival we stood outside the front door for a long time after ringing the bell. When someone eventually came, they said that the door was unlocked all the time anyway and we just needed to come in to reception. This was not made clear with the several communications and requests for registration before the visit.

Would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Honestly the bedroom was like Faulty Towers unbelievable.
Everywhere neaded an update - make shift doors to bathroom a poles sticking out of the wall for a wardrobe, the cahir in room was for a child etc etc . All required painting, curtains 2 sheets hanging up all screwed up.
The carpet in the room and on the stairs needed a good clean and hoover.
Sorry i can honestly say worst we have syayed in. The night before we stopped in another hotel in thd same area znx the difference was unbelievable.

On arrival, the hotel looked lovely from out side when I went it there was no one to greet me. Then called a phone number, someone arrived took me to my room.
Room was not clean had dust everywhere even on the bed towels were dirty, cobwebs everywhere, cups were also dirty.
There was also a horrible smell in the room that I could not pin point on where it was coming from. I was then woken up at 12 am to the receptionist and another guest having an argument over their room. For over an hour to them then sat out side arguing, then music blearing through out the night. Bathroom was also dirty and was uncomfortable to shower there. There was no hospitality at all not customer focused no service for breakfast either. I am very disappointed and unhappy with my stay and would not be recommending to any one.

Clean room with small kitchen. Quite basic but that’s what we were expecting.
Very warm with under floor heating. Mattresses could do with an upgrade but overall Anand Lodge worked well as a triple room for 3 generations.

Property is Ok, a 2 story old Victorian style cottage transformed into a small hotel with a few rooms. My room was rather small as expected, with a tiny shower in a corner and a decent toilet area. Fairly ruined, with a linoleum floor, leaky windows and drapery needing some love. I didn’t expect much for the price to be honest, this is a 2 star hotel, cheap for the area. In that sense, it met my expectations. Some guests complained about lack of hot water but in my case it was good and abundant, for European standards it was golden

A few complains, not deal breakers but to keep in mind. Rooms are noisy, thin drywalls with rooms cramped into each other. Had to hit the walls a few times for people in other rooms to be aware. Second, there is nobody there! Reception is empty every time, with a phone a few instructions on how to deal with common issues. Phone will be answered though, and when I needed someone they did show up. Finally no breakfast on premises. There is small kitchenette area with a MW, a table and a few chairs but no ability to cook (or for someone to cook). You have to go to a nearby Notcutts with was excellent but about a mile and a half away, walking is not a real option unless you have a lot of free time

Oh, parking is available and abundant, they claim to charge a daily fee but my friend in another room with a car never paid it. There are no EV chargers on premises but there are two level 2 ones close by at the Camden Arms hotel parking lot, 50 yards away

We appreciated the efforts at recycling, the outdoor eating area, the chance to do some washing.

The room was too small especially for a four night stay. When we commented the ‘receptionist’ said that they had upgraded us from a shared bathroom which was not the case as we had booked an ensuite room. We received an email about paid parking but out booking included parking.

Reception over a telephone is not satisfactory.

The room was clean but very small for a double bed, the shower and toilet were built in to two corners of the room , which worked i suppose.
It was a cheap place to stay in the area we needed to stay in.
We booked in via an intercom telephone. This was unusual but worked ok.
The lady who booked us in waived the on site car park charge, and also the dog extra charge.
I would have challenged the dog charge being £23 ? for one night had she not just dropped it as she mentioned it over the intercom.
If we had to pay for on site parking AND the dog it would have been an expensive stay .
We payed £68 as we had some expedia points to use . If we had payed the standard price i think it would have been too much for the size of room .
I dont mind paying up to £10 extra for the dog, but could not see why there should be a charge for parking a car in site .
Oh, and our rooms window would only open an inch or two. There were instructons to open it further but they did not work. . It was a good job the weather was unusually cool for July!
The only staff member we met was in the morning when we were leaving who was very pleasant.

Use of the kitchen was brilliant as I could microwave my gluten free dinners and store my bread etc in the fridge. Plenty of parking space with a nice garden and decking area.

I went to stay there because my temporary job was closer to that lodge. There are number of reasons why I don’t recommend this place is a good place to live.1. Two single beds was added as a big bed which was uncomfortable to sleep, as a result level of bed was not balanced and uncomfortable . Also , bed sheet was dirty likewise mattress was loose. 2. No hot and cold water for shower, when I went to take shower , no cold water I went to request in the reception 2 ladies came after 25 minuets and told me it was fixed and when I went to take shower again there was no cold water. That was really frustrating coz I was exhausted and anted to rest ASAP . When I went to complain in reception the guy from the phone said I did not know how to use shower therefore it was not working. What a joke? Anyways I had actually booked for 2 nights but lived only that night. Lastly that room No. 10 was very noisy. I could hear the noise from another room after neglecting my knock went to complain but the guy declined to come and check thought it was my problem. Rubbish. Felt terrible.

Was a fine stay. My only issue was When I booked I booked a room with a private bathroom. And this wasn’t the case when I arrived. The bathroom was shared. The room had a shower and a sink in it but the toilet was across the hall. I think this needs to be specified so people do know that. The gentleman that showed me up to the room was really nice and polite. And the other gentleman that helped me park my vehicle was also lovely! Overall the stay was fine. Thanks!
