Woodland View

Friendly welcome and despite it being a flying visit, I was able to get value for money considering the low cost. A bed and a bathroom (to myself). Despite the incredible heat at the time, the owner did all they could to help.

Creaky floorboards in my room, not annoying to me but I was conscious of annoying others as I had an early departure.

A lovely place and Eric was very welcoming and helpful. Even got us some ice cream in to cope with the heatwave

The property itself is in a lovely, quiet neighbourhood in Redditch. It was clean, tidy and presentable both outside and in. The room I had booked for my daughter and I was not available, due to previous guests from the night before causing a mess. Therefore, we were given an alternative room, that had a kingsize bed, with the option to use a sofa bed in the room too, but we were ok sharing the kingsize. Unfortunately, there was no lock on the bedroom door and no curtains, just a thin sheet that was more of a net curtain, so when the light appears in the morning, it came straight in. The bed we slept in was comfortable, the bed linen was clean and smelt fresh. We appreciated the tea, coffee and water being left in the room. Helen the host was lovely!!! Very friendly and personable. The issue of some guests past and previous, are no reflection on her!

Unfortunately, a refused booking from someone else looking to stay, still decided to turn up and pierced on the doorbell for sometime at 3am, waking myself up. At about 8:30am some other guests set the smoke alarm off, by setting fire to the kitchen.

Bed slopes from the middle to the right side. A bin and something to put the tea bags on would be handy. Didn't get given a towel until late in the evening.
