The Nyton Guesthouse

This place needs a complete refresh the room was ok apart from the electric shower which drizzled warm water. Do not eat at this B&B the food both evening meal and breakfast was awful, the poached egg on my asparagus in the evening resembled something that had crawled on the plate with a hard yolk the asparagus was tough, all the food served did not resemble or taste as described I had the pork medallion which was tough to chew, the sauce was watery the chips if that’s what they were were awful, needless to say I left most of it, the breakfast was no better how can you get wrong porridge?? How can you get wrong poached egg on toast? Without doubt this is the worst place I have ever stayed. I found the owner to be very rude. I would never recommend or stay at this place again, avoid at all costs.

This is a lovely old house so don’t expect corporate styling like a travelodge. Our room (9) was on the ground floor and overlooked the beautiful garden. We watched squirrels and a variety of birds from the window. The room does need a little bit of refurbishment but nothing that spoiled our stay. The beds were comfy with nice white bedding and good white towels. Plenty of hot water while we were there and nice quality complimentary toiletries. Well stocked hospitality tray with nice biscuits which were replaced when we ate them. The owner is a little quirky but we had a very pleasant conversation with him when we arrived. We were visiting family so didn’t eat at the hotel.

Like other reviewers, we arrived in the pitch dark. Fortunately the satnav got us to the exact point or we might have struggled to find it. There are light pillars along the drive but they were all off. Reception was unmanned and when we phoned the number left on the desk we were told we'd have to wait ten minutes as he was with somebody else. When he appeared he couldn't find our booking, despite me having the emailed copy. Somehow he'd put it in for the wrong night. He was duly apologetic, but it wasn't impressive. My wife suggested we leave there and then and I should have listened to her! I told her later we would laugh about it in a few years time once the trauma had worn off! The whole building is very tired. It was clearly a beautiful property once, with lovely gardens - and it could be again but it needs some money spent on it - quite a bit of money. Our room was ok, but very dated. The rewiring that has been done has been largely through surface mount conduit, which rather detracts from what could be a very splendid room - if the decor and facilities were updated. The bathroom was also very tired and dated and in need of major update. The shower took about ten minutes to run warm and barely achieved more than a spirited dribble. Breakfast was ok - the lady serving was very pleasant and helpful. The dining room could be a beautiful room with lovely wood panelling, but it has been somewhat spoilt by the health and safety required features. At £100 for the night, it was not cheap - so very poor value for money.

Checking in friendly and the location to town was good.. The room was very cold but heaters were provided. The bathroom no heating and the shower poor. The full English breakfast was cold.

No one was there to let us in when we arrived - in the end of a guest had to. The lobby stank of ****. The locks on one of our rooms didn't work, and the walls were paper thin - we could hear people watching TV from several rooms away.

The room was clean and comfortable, plenty of off road parking and the town only 5 minutes or so walk away. Staff very friendly, breakfast excellent!

We have spent delightful weekends in many places – in the UK and abroad. This was most certainly not one of them. In fact, it more than deserves the damning accolade of the Worst Ever. Why? Because of the main “features” that awaited on opening the door to Room 6. These are captured in the accompanying photos. In particular: • mouldy, damp bath and bathroom, with permastained window and antiquated shower – all in disgusting condition • stained carpeting • a non-working electrical point with its own DIY hazard warning sellotaped to the wall • similarly-looking, badly made and presented DIY entrance door. The rest of the establishment is dark, dilapidated and unwelcoming, with no signs of any updating or modernisation since well into the last century. It smells of cigarettes and cooking. We left almost immediately after seeing all this, but have still been charged over £100 a night. Do not be fooled, as we were, by the apparently OK overall guest rating score. On this evidence, it is a shocker.

Very hard to find no lights on the gate we drove past about three time and tried to ring

Convenient to town centre. No lights on driveway, which made entry at night difficult. A 'tired' hotel, beds were comfortable but there was mould in the shower room. Excellent breakfast, a nice dining room
