The Nyton Guesthouse

Love the eclectic, funny, wonderful place! If you have a sense of humour, want a comfy bed, great breakfast and amazing staff come here. However if you take offence at not having fresh tomatoes on your breakfast ( I mean come on!!! If that’s all you have to gripe about) it is a fab place…. Don’t ever change! 4th visit and will be back next month

The only person we met was not hospitable its like she was barking orders out at us when we arrived. The place was grubby our room had no sink in the bathroom the sink was in the bedroom there was mould in the shower area luckily we were only there one night. The bed was comfy a couple of the locals told us not to eat there we will never go back. One review says it has 4 stars I don't know how

The impressive driveway approach and building itself belied what lay within. Reception area is dull and unwelcoming. The walk to the room (9) was accompanied by a musty smell akin to an old ashtray. We'd booked into a double room but were placed in a family room. The decor was 'interesting' - some might call it quaint or characterful, I'd call it unkempt and neglected. The towels, whilst very clean and white, were all damp and had to be dried on the heated towel rack (which thankfully worked). The pictures show ceiling stains, stained and damaged bed, skirting board damage, mould in the shower room along with a pull-down blind that was growing it's own life form. Carpets throughout were old, stained and looked as old as the house. And then there was breakfast; mushrooms awash in oil, tepid beans, one hard piece of bacon, a part-cooked sausage and a poached egg that did a fine impression of a hard-boiled egg. We'd booked in for two nights but left after one as felt the place was detrimental to our health. Simply awful establishment in every respect.

We chose this Guest House as it was great to park and walk into town. BUT I should have believed the bad reviews! The reception area was scruffy and stank of old smoke (despite No Smoking signs) There were papers on the counter with very personal details on them, so no privacy (although no proper check-in, just a key- fob that said breakfast was NOT included -5 emails said it was). When we asked we got a very dismissive reply from the lady who turned her back on us, walked away very quickly and muttered something about sorting it out in the morning. She led us up 2 flights to a scruffy attic room, despite e mail saying 'ground floor' (a random child had also been included in the price.) When we got back from our meeting at 9.15 pm everywhere was locked up, including the bar and no lights on anywhere. We decided to leave, as it was so depressing and didn't feel safe. I wonder if a fire-officer has checked recently? A display said it had AA 5* ????? Our photos tell a different story....
