타운하우스 브리드포트

Pleasant, clean & tidy, good shower, nice choice of breakfast. Easy to park outside and short 10mins walk into Bridport. I visited to go to the hat festival, which was so much fun, met with friends & had a fun day. Would definately stay here again :)

불행히도, 예약할 때 지침을 제대로 읽지 않아서(나중에 확인했을 때 분명히 나와 있었습니다) 체크인 시간이 오후 4-6시라고 했습니다. 호스트와 처음 연락한 건 전화로 어디에 있는지 물었습니다. 저는 타이밍을 알아차리지 못했다고 설명했고, 긴 침묵 속에 매우 어색한 대화가 이어졌습니다. 도착하자마자 휴대전화 번호로 전화해 달라고 했습니다. 다른 호스트가 따뜻하게 맞이해 주었고, 방으로 안내해 주었습니다. 이 호스트는 방에 대한 모든 것을 설명해 주었고, 지역 정보를 공유해 주었습니다. 도보로 3분 거리에 있는 도로변 무료 주차장을 찾았습니다. 침대는 아늑하고 편안했으며 깨끗했습니다. 불행히도, 방의 많은 부분과 공용 욕실이 더러웠습니다. 여기에는 거미줄, 창문 거미줄에 죽은 파리, 침실의 먼지가 묻은 램프와 모서리가 포함되었습니다. 공용 욕실에서 더러운 샤워실 둘레와 샤워실을 수리하는 케이블 타이가 발견되었습니다. 공용 욕실은 괜찮지만, 제 생각에는 호스트의 개인 소지품을 빼놓아서는 안 됩니다. 오전 8시에 유럽식 조식이 제공되었습니다. 우리는 브리드포트에 있는 멋진 카페를 알고 있었고 나중에 따뜻한 아침 식사를 즐겼습니다. 아침에 전화로 통화했던 호스트가 매우 친절했고 우리에게 안전한 여정과 좋은 아침 식사를 기원했습니다.

** This venue advertises on ********** that it has free on site parking, it does NOT, there is only street parking (which is not plentiful).** Nice greeting and got shown to double room on 1st floor, which was okay. Shared bathroom was okay. Window in room looking out to garden was dirty and did not appear to have been cleaned recently. Only 2 plug sockets in room, which could be accessed. Breakfast included in price was choice of cereal and toast, fruit juices and hot drink, which I arranged to have at 0715 am.

The cleanliness of our room and the shared bathroom (by guests in 3 bedrooms) left a lot to be desired. The shower head was held together with cable ties! - needs to be replaced. Could only use the bath “on request”!? Our “one bedroomed suite” was effectively the lounge/front room, separated only from the kitchen (where the owners slept!) by glass doors with shutters. No sound-proofing!! Breakfast was disappointing - only cereal & toast! The hostess was pleasant.

I have written over 2,000 reviews years covering 17 countries and I have to say that this establishment stands out as requiring a forensic criticism I am not in the business of deciding whether someone is nice or nasty but in order to run a bed and breakfast you do need certain basic rules to go by, conventions shall we say. I am left puzzling why this person has taken on this business. Was it for money? For altruistic reasons? On the plus side, the location is convenient for the high street of the amazing town called Bridport, Street parking is realistic, The bed was comfortable and the price reasonable. This is where the good points end. If you are going to convert a house into a hotel-type establishment you need to make sure that everything is in place and to have one bathroom and toilet to serve up to half a dozen guest rooms is unrealistic. What about those who cannot ascend fairly steep stairs? We were situated in the most expensive room, downstairs, a so called suite. The hostess said that the fire would not be lit (strange to say on a day in the mid-20s), and that certain possessions in the room were private. Alas it abutted onto the kitchen separated only by a pair of swing doors. It was possible to hear conversations in the kitchen and of course the same applied to over hearing those in the rented room. We felt we were not private. When our TV could not be persuaded to work we had to ask for assistance. There is a very complicated system where you need three controls apparently due to the local TV signal not being adequate. The manager said that the instructions had been written on a sheet and we should please read it. The instructions were not on the sheet. We had to get her partner in the room who said it was better to demonstrate it then putting it in writing. Even then we failed in our attempts and eventually gave up. The biggest joke was breakfast. There were two rooms vacant and two couples came down at 8:30 to have breakfast. Normally, you have two tables for two groups. We were greeted with one table little bigger than a whist table laid for four people. This would have been fine for a group that knew each other but definitely not fine for those who were strangers and perhaps wish to have their own company especially first thing in the morning. Fortunately, we got on well with the other people but had we not done so I could foresee uncomfortable atmospheres developing. The continental breakfast was minimalist with cereals, coffee or tea, orange juice, bread and butter or toast with various jams. Seven minutes in to the meal our host excused herself saying she had to go and water the garden. Other small points that add up: The banister rails were actually sticky as they had not been cleaned for some time, more than one door hinge squeaked horribly when you had to open or close it, the Yale lock in our door was loose and wobbled up and down. During the breakfast I discussed the place with our fellow guests an
