We stayed one night at the Blanes Court. Staff was friendly but the reception desk is not always staffed. Guests have a key to go in and out. I guess it is more a guesthouse than a hotel. There is parking in front which is very useful as the hotel is about 10 min walk to the top of high street. There is a big garden at the back with a heated pool for children (I've read in a folder as staff didn't tell us about it). They have free wireless internet and continental breakfast included in the price (which was reasonable). The shower/toilet room was tiny (a larger person would struggle) and the sink was in the room. Very old fashion furniture, tiles etc. I guess everything closer to the town centre will be much more expensive and the Blanes Court is alright if you don't mind staying in a room that resambles your grandmother's (I don't know if all rooms have tiny shower/toilet rooms as they seem to be all different).

Stayed overnight with my son following a local family occasion. Had a spacious, clean, twin room, but this was badly let down by a miniscule toilet/shower facility nigh on impossible to function in. Less en-suite more in-cupboard! In addition the shower water pressure was ridiculously low. The TV was of poor quality with very bad reception and just 5 channels. The sofa was very tired, but the beds were good. Next morning we found the advertised "Full English Breakfast" was NOT a cooked breakfast at all, but an exceedingly limited buffet of french bread, cheese and ham. The lady said this was an advertising fault as I'd booked through the internet. But I later found their own web site and leaflet claiming a buffet style full breakfast. I feel conned.

I stayed at Blanes Court during the week whilst working in Guildford for 6 months. The staff are extremely friendly and accomodating, and the hotel is a very pleasant, comfortable and quiet place to stay. The breakfasts are excellent. I really enjoyed staying here and would recommend the place to anyone, for business or pleasure.

A very pleasant and unpretentious B&B in a quiet residential area which is within 10-15 minutes' walk from the town centre. Rooms are comfortable and clean and quite spacious, breakfast is good and freshly cooked. Lovely big garden. Friendly and welcoming hosts. I had originally intended to stay in a hotel in the town centre but all were fully booked. However, I was entirely happy with my stay at Blanes Court and I would not hesitate to choose it again in the future. It made a nice change from an anonymous hotel.
