Trowbridge Lodge

The location was fab. The house was spacious and comfortable. It has so much character and was perfect for our group for 1 night. I admit I did worry about some of the reviews regarding cleanliness but we found the house, towels and linen to be clean. There were a few cob webs but this is to be expected in such an old house at this time of year. None appeared to be old or dusty. We honestly had a lovely stay and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

Nothing major. The corner sofa in the living room was great, really comfortable, but there wasn’t enough seating for 4 adults. We had to bring in a dining chair. There was also a slight issue with the heating and hot water. The heating programme was set very high so by morning the house was too warm. And although there was hot water when we first arrived there was none in the morning. Cold showers were a bit bracing! But the host was responsive and very apologetic - these things happen! It doesn’t put us off staying again.

L'endroit est plein de charme, la communication facile. La maison est vraiment atypique !

Vrai problème de propreté dans les chambres, malheureusement.

The features of the property and location for what we wanted.

As much as we loved the features of this house almost every door frame is a different height, for a tall family that presented some occasional head bumps. The house was not as clean as we would have liked. The shelving unit had a film of dust across it. The carpets were not clean. We were unsure if the sheets on the bed were fresh as they were so crinkled they could have been on there for the last few visitors and wouldn’t have been able to tell the difference. The house is old and the furnishings/decor reflect this. However for an overnight stay at the price we paid, it was value for money.

There was no breakfast apart from a few small cereal packets

The whole place was tired and grubby. Carpets needed a good clean stains in lounge and bathroom around toilet ☹️ thick dust along the edges in bedrooms, knobs missing on wardrobes. Nails sticking out of walls where pictures have been. Kitchen radiator filled with dirt and stains. We cleaned out the utensil drawer before we could use it. Out of date crisps. 4th bedroom door wouldn’t open properly because bed too big. Downstairs bathroom skirting not finished wires hanging out of wall. Shower slippery no rubber shower mat. Lounge furniture needed throws as not that clean and recliner sticking out wouldn’t close. The worst thing is that the smoke alarms were not fit for purpose, old and yellow and not working, which is a safety hazard.
