Chadwick House Hotel — Hotel in Great Britain

I wonder if some reviewers have seriously been here, or if they were under the effect of alchool at the time of writing.. First of all, this is not a Hotel, but a low quality B&B. There is no reception, nor a formal entrance. To enter you must have a key (big enough to open the heavy portal of a gothic cathedral), or, when you arrive the first time, you have to tap on the windows, hoping that someone will hear you. Among other things, this elusive entrance is also very well hidden, so arm yourself with patience, as well as with your childhood's best "hide & seek" intuition! There is no bar. There is no restaurant. There is, however, a mini-room used for a sad-looking "breakfast", which is open only from 07.00 to 08.15. Be early risers: at 08.16, "breakfast is over" 😁 I would also say that even the pompously advertised "private parking" is a sort of "mirage", as 4 cars are enough to fill the 20 square meters available. Oh I forgot: of those 4 cars, 2 belong to the owner of the B&B. Maximum hospitality uh? I could dwell for hours on the "picturesque" features offered by the Amityv..sorry..Chadwick Hotel, such as dark, misaligned, very narrow corridors, composed of labyrinthine staircases, almost tangled together (I recalled the terrifying spiral staircase of the old library in the film "The Name of the Rose"); old, moldy and claustrophobic bedrooms; showers made-up by rubber tubes connected to the taps; mattresses where even a fakir would find himself in great difficulty; let alone the heart-wrenching noise made by cars and trucks, of continuous passage on this portion of the town's main road, which - you have already guessed correctly - is located less than 1 meter away from your bedroom's window .. . I better stop here, or I might take away the taste of thrill which I'd rather reserve to the brave or the adventurer... Moreover, let's face it, not everything is so bad. There are in fact at least two positive features: The owner is very (!!) nice. Fans of old British horror movies, like Hammer Horrors for example, will be pervaded by vintage "memoires" and b&w nostalgy when staying at the Chadwick .. Too little, however, for a £...

This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in.I booked 2 rooms…a double with en-suite for myself at £85 for the night and a twin room for my sons at £87 for the night.I wouldn’t even call it a hotel. It is more like an abandoned old hostel. ||On arrival I actually thought I had arrived at the wrong place. The first thing that hits you is the smell of unclean oldness and cigarette smoke. The owners were friendly but absolutely not interested in anything negative being said regarding the place. I would not of stayed here had I not had only 1 hour to get to the party I had arranged nearby and the fact I live in Scotland and couldn’t find an alternative place to stay. I was meant to pay on check out but the owner took the money from my card BEFORE I had even checked in! So I couldn’t even challenge the price. The room initially smelt ok as fresh air spray had obviously been used. The room was not what I would call en-suite as the toilet was in a cupboard and the sink and shower were in the bedroom. The Bed was a double made from a single bed! Toilet cupboard was damp and mouldy. The shower was unclean with towels and shower mat unwashed from previous guests. The shower was unusable as there was an electric socket next to the shower where the shower curtain hung. A piece of Lino flooring was used as a mat to protect the old dressing table. Breakfast was greasy, smelt of cheap meat and the cutlery comes wrapped in kitchen roll! I didn’t eat it and left it on its cheap plastic tray that it arrived on. The guest next door was arguing all night and sat leaning against my door eating a takeaway kebab and smoking at 1am! The only thing the owners did was to clean the toilet seat and sink in the twin room as it was covered in hair and urine from the previous guests! Avoid this place at all costs as it’s certainly not how it’s advertised through...

AVOID AT ALL COSTS|First impression wasn’t great, looks like a abandoned hostel with flaking paint and weeds coming out of all the plant pots outside, the owner opened the door and I was immediately hit with the fact the place was very dated and old smelling. The owner was very pleasant in himself and he explained that we would need to pre order breakfast and to write this on a scrappy bit of paper, the menu he gave me had a order written on and I asked do i write on this and no someone else did that, doesn’t take much to print a new one off. He showed me to my room, which he kindly let me have the key prior to the time we should have checked in as it would have been very late when we coming back from the festival. On arriving back from the festival we parked our car in the back carpark and walk up the fire exit to enter the building and the first thing that hit us was the horrendous smell of cannabis as we walked in the door. Luckily the smell wasn’t in our room. |The bed was obviously broken on the one side as it sank when you lay on it and when you rolled over you felt you were going to fall out of bed. Hence no proper sleep that night |In the morning went to go for a shower to find we only had a bath even though on booking.com it stated there was a shower and there was a half bottle of shower gel left in the bath which I find very strange. |Breakfast was served to our room which which had to eat of a little side table and 2 stools which are not practical. The first thing that’s hit me with the breakfast was the smell of grease and the bacon looked like it was cause damage to your teeth it was that hard. Cutlery and toast wrapped in kitchen roll not napkins. Not. Pleasant start to the day. When we check out my Husband went downstairs to hand the key in and pressed the buzzer to have a door open to him by a lady dressed in...
