Amazing, cozy, friendly place to stay xx

We've been staying here for the last 2 years as its close to my sons exam centre, ( hes only 15) but its also far enough away that its very quiet and peaceful. We get a good nights sleep everytime we stay, 4 times last year 4 times this may/june. Amazing walking areas close by, a local Chinese next door, rooms are very spacious, very clean and tidy, shower rooms imagulate, always plenty of toilet roll and washing accessories ( which is always a bonus if you forget), towels also provided, bed linen is always clean and fresh, a new vending machine which has brilliant prices to next to.the main entrance. We feel secure within the building as its a code to get in the main building and then one into your own rooms. Lovely friendly staff on site if you catch them ad they're always busy xx

Hostess with the leastess

Everything was fine. Check in was easy. Messaged about no towels and the lady told me there was. There wasn’t. Bought my own and wasn’t bothered about there being none but the fact she assumed I was lying instead of just apologising. Easy mistake. Window was broken but she told me the button worked. It never hence the cobwebs and noise from gravel in the car park. Really nice b and b. Shame about attitude of the host when I asked about towels. A simple apology would have sufficed. Then she argued the window did shut it but it never. Everything else was of a decent standard. Said she would check the cameras about towels during a property reset and let me know. I assume they have and realised she was wrong hence no message as promised. If you get something wrong just own up to it. Would not have been a problem until I was told I was wrong. Left the receipt for the towels as a gift. Nice b and b wrong attitude.

Everything you need for an overnight stay. Very clean and spacious. Only thing let it down was the narrow opening to the side of the building to get to the Car Park especially returning late at night. Otherwise great facilities.

It was worth of the money 39 GBP. Good price for this service. But, it is so so. I do not think I will prefer again.

No staff on site, self checking process via SMS and access code. The only problem I would like to point out is that you can hear anything going around. There is no sound proofing of any kind, so you can hear guests coming and going, so I started to wake up at 4am as the first guest was leaving.

Was super easy to get into the accommodation and get the room key. No interaction required! The room was perfectly clean and everything was to a great standard. The location on maps does not match the actual location so the details included in the email were essential

Exterior look of the property is nice and the area is quiet. There were multiple issues during my 1 night stay though. Firstly, The Dakota had no staff present at all. The fire alarm went off and my partner had to call the owners so that they would come to deactivate it. Secondly, the room was unhygenic, there was poo spots on the underneath of the toilet seat and on the wall next to the toilet, there was toothpaste splatter on the bathroom door and the shower floor literally had large amounts of grime in every corner and to top that off the shower was leaking quite badly, the floor was a puddle after I took a 15 minute shower. I informed the owners and sent them the photos and videos I took to which they responded that they personally cleaned the room and if im not happy to leave and they will refund me. If i had anywhere else i could go that night, I would most definitely have left. I will never stay there again and I urge others to book elsewhere, unhygenic and owners not willing to solve the issues.

Great

Super helpful and responsive pre check in. Seamless stay. I actually had a different hotel booked originally but cancelled on them as they had me on hold and talking to centralised call centres - just to see if any possibility I could check in early or get keys early - which they couldn’t give any form of reassurance or guarantee. The Dakota however sent a personal response to me straight away and were highly accommodating. Great base for a wedding or event

Aussie escape

Very clean room, excellent hot shower. Stairs to room were bit challenging for luggage. A couple of good pubs nearby for dining. One important point is no fidge or microwave in room. So only order what you can eat from the Chinese next door.

Not clean.

I stayed here twice recently for work - 10 nights in total. The communication via text was very prompt. Parking was easy. The shop opposite is not open and there is no shop in walking distance. The accommodation is pleasant but simple. The beds i stayed in both were uncomfortable and needed new mattresses - i had to sleep top to toe in one as it was so uncomfortable. The bathroom in the first room was very damp - see photos of mould and smelt. The first room need a good clean with thick dust on some surfaces. The 2nd room, upon checking in the bathroom was unclean with urine on loo and pubes. The shower flooded the room each time i used it - i did report this but it wasn't sorted. I certainly wouldn't rush back. Yes, it us cheap but all accommodation should be clean.
