Menzies Guest House

"Stayed last year - had one of the best times of my life. Easily the best compulsory breakfast ever had!"

"I rarely give poor rates when reviewing somewhere, so it was that serious. I don't understand why there are so many 5 stars reviews and having an advert on Booking.com is just misleading for everyone that this place is decent - it isn’t. Please avoid if you are expecting something decent here. The place is too old and needs refurbishing and renewing facilities. I have an allergic condition and while staying in the room, I sneezed all time and I had some unknown spots on my skin. The provided towels and duvet were filthy - there were multiple stains on them and the duvet looked absolutely old. In a drawer, there was an unknown old duvet and it was just disgusting to even look at it. Sound insulation is literally not there, even though the guest house states the quiet time is from 11 pm, many guests come back after 11 and I could hear everything. Their chatter, creaky staircase and floor. I woke up several times a night and eventually ended up using earplugs. Ok, they stated that the bathrooms were shared, but it was not obvious in the description. I didn't notice it and if I knew it before, then I wouldn’t have come here. The owner was a kind person but considering that he’s ignoring all the issues and even raise the price for busy seasons (I paid £200 for 3nights and was on the Easter holiday), I'm afraid I cannot give any better review."

"The host was very nice and accommodative. Our room was clean, spacious and had complimentary tea and biscuits. The rain shower head was a great feature! Thank you for hosting us!!"

"Cute little place. Very clean and tidy. Regular cleaning of room during stay. Room can get quite cold but addition heater provided. Wifi trouble was there but on complaining got access to another wifi. Good service overall. Location is near hays market. Many eateries in walking distance. Would consider going back :)"

"Beautiful guest house with a very friendly host. Breakfast included in price. There was a comfortable king-sized bed in our room. Shower was located in the hall but it was no problem for us since it was clean and hot water was running."
