Avalon Guest House

Booked a night for a June date in sept last year. Got a phone call (5 days before) saying they couldn’t have our booking. Blaming lack of staff but find this very hard to believe. Not happy and I’d say avoid

Cheap & cheerful. Abbey who greeted me was very helpful and friendly. Everything else was what you would expect for £55 per night. Adequate.Plenty of on site parking. I did not see any provision for wheelchair access and the main entrance was via a set of steep steps. Inside were lots of stairs. My room had en suite toilet & sink. The main bathroom & shower are shared. Tea making facilities & a small TV supplied.The room itself was small & in need of TLC. Reasonably clean. Towel, hand sanitizer, hand soap , body wash, shampoo, hair dryer all provided? No provision for breakfast. All in all, had everything you needed and was adequate but could have done with a lick of fire.

Absolutely disgusting, the place was messy outside and had insects crawling all over the walls and beds! When we tried to leave the owner chased us!the locks on the doors do not work either just do yourself a favour and avoid

Had a room booked, months ahead of when needed. Week before they cancelled our booking, blaming water leak, we said we should get another room as we'd been booked in for longer than most if not all others. We were told they couldn't possibly do that, and as fully booked couldn't give us anything else. Next day they suddenly have a room available but twice the price we would've paid. Funny that! Reading reviews think we dodged a bullet anyway!!

Best place to stay. Cheap and easy travel to city. Helpful and careful staff members. Would definitely recommend the place.

We chose this guesthouse because of the proximity to the University, as we were due to attend a graduation ceremony. The building is in need of some refurbishment and modernisation, but our room was clean and spacious and all the staff super-friendly. They allowed us extra time before check-out and also to leave our car, even after check-out, in the free private parking, monitored by CCTV.

Nice, tidy accommodation with a comfortable bed in a peaceful street. Reasonable price. The employee was really understanding and let me stay with some luggage in the room until my lift arrived which I really appreciated.

Awesome place to stay with all the amenities. Staff is polite and helpful as well. Great location with quiet.

The lady who seems to run it was lovely. Quiet and happy to answer questions or help though English was obviously her second language.The man - exceptionally rude and aggressive to the lady which judging from her acceptance was normal.Arriving late the door was locked, as expected. It took about 10 min to be let in though as the owner was not in the building (arrived by car). We were shown in and up to our room quickly and quietly.The room required a lot of care. Once it may have been good but a lot of poor maintenance had let it down. I do give special credit for the use of a take away menu to keep the window closed.The beds were hard and the room noisy.There was parking available, the breakfast was sufficient and we were well tended with cooked food offered. Again - the lady was in charge of this and it was good.Payment by card or cash but not payable online.I wish her good luck but won't be coming back.

My car battery died and the very helpful and accomadating owner of the guest house helped me jump start my car again. Very happy with the service
