We have just arrived back from a 2 night stay at Saxon House Hotel. We really had a pleasant stay. The room we stayed in was excellent,modern and clean. The breakfast was great. I must add, having read other reviews, that in our own opinion,we found the landlady is not rude or unpleasant,just very down to earth, which we like!!... More

Spent 4 nights here and have to say we had a warm and welcoming stay. Breakfast was lovely (great poached eggs). The bedroom was huge and clean with use of a large flat screen t.v. The bathroom/shower were very clean the towels and a bed linen were changed twice during our stay. Thank you ladies and Oliver for our stay. More

For the price asked for a double room (£65 per night), we feel misled by the photographs on the website. The bed was a slightly large single bed that was passed off as a double bed. This was just the beginning. The room was so small that the bed just about fits in and there is a slight space to... More

Regarding the review you have posted, A lot of the problems experienced have raised concern that would have been greatly appreciated if raised at the time instead of coming straight onto a reviewing website that offers us no chance to change the experience for yourselves, Now the room that you booked is offered as a Single/Small double there is nothing...

Spent 2 nights in this B&B in April 2012. Parking is free. Location is OK if you don't mind a little walk into the city centre. The room was a reasonable size (large double) but the net curtains were filthy but the bathroom was clean. The bed was a bit hard. The breakfast room was old fashioned and felt unclean... More

The room photos are misleading as rooms were very much smaller than expected but would defintly stay here again. Only a 5 min walk into City which was very easily... More

Felt compelled to write a review on here after reading other comments about the grumpy staff. We arrived to a warm and humorous welcome from the landlady. The staff were very friendly and obliging and made us feel welcome and wanted. We were offered a bigger room at no extra cost just because there was one available.The hotel is clean... More

Ideal location. Booked large double bed room, which it was'nt! Bed linen very shabby, the room just looked cold and uninviting, we booked at a reduced rate, which we thought was over priced. The breakfast was good, but first day was warm, second was better. The staff was ok, but scruffy, which an impression was made as soon as we... More

When you booked you received a large double room, the building variates in its size due to the age of the building itself. Bed linen we try to keep up to a good standard. If you booked at a reduced rate that you believed to be overpriced then it is apparent that maybe you should not have booked especially if... More

Thank you for your review. With regards to the room, the building is a victorian building and it has a variation in size of rooms, we cannot change the size of rooms. The woman who answered the door is the landlady, she is justified to be able to wear whatever she wants as this is her business and her home.... More
