Fathers Guest House, great place in the Cameron Highlands

Advantages: Location, views, surroundings
Disadvantages: Disappointing dorm room

...Fathers Guest house has the perfect location on a small hill overlooking the tiny town of Tanah Rata in the Cameron highlands. Situated outside the town, but only a 3 minute walk into it, it has fantastic views and is tranquil but still has access to any activities the town has to offer. If you call the owners in advance letting them known when you will arrive then they will collect you from the town and save the walk up the hill with heavy bags. They also tend to be one of the touts who wander the bus drop off area and so if you arrive by bus then there is almost always someone there who you can ask to get a lift up the hill. Driving up towards the guesthouse the first thing that is obvious is that this is a beautiful area. The views from the top go right across the town and amongst the rolling hills of the area. The Cameron highlands...

Tarbet House - a cut above the rest!

Advantages: Stunning views, modern and spacious!
Disadvantages: Does not cater for children or pets

...to eat and it was after 5pm. She had a huge selection of menus for restaurants/pubs in the surrounding areas. Her knowledge of the area and places to eat were a definate bonus. Paula & George also had plenty of suggestions of attractions which we could visit come rain or shine. Bedrooms The house has three guest suites: The Macgregor, The Buchanan and The Macfarlane Suite. All rooms are en suite with a bath and seperate walk in shower. A hospitality tray wth tea & coffee making facilities, TV, DVD, Clock / Radio, Iron & Ironing Board Station were all available. * The Macgregor - whilst I did not see this room I believe that it was a double bedroom with a seperate sitting room. The suite has views facing south over Loch Lomond. * The Buchanan - I stayed in this room myself. This suite was double bedroom with King Size...

South Hampton Guest House - ok

Advantages: Reasonably Priced
Disadvantages: Very Small Rooms

...My partner and I stayed at the South Hampton Guest House for a weekend in early 2006. We choose the property because it was reasonably close to the centre of Cambridge Township (about 15-20 minutes walk) and also for it's price. We paid £45/night for the two of us including breakfast. The general décor was nothing to marvel about, a bit pokey and very old fashioned. However, keeping in mind what we paid our stay was reasonable. The rooms (I think there were 4 or 5 in total) were on the small side. Ours was fitted with a double bed, a single chair, one bedside table, a small wardrobe with several drawers attached and a tv mounted on the wall. There was a little side tray containing tea, coffee milk and a few biscuits. There was very little room for much else and we had to store our 1 suitcase on top of the wardrobe. There was...

Beautiful Guest House - recommended

Advantages: Very close to city centre
Disadvantages: none

...The Anchor Guest House is situated in the city centre. From Dublin Airport, travel on the 747 (Easily caught from outside the airport exit, well signposted and regular) Stay on the bus until Dublin Bus Station, the Anchor Guest House is situated in Lower Gardiner Street which is just round the corner from the bus station. The Guest House is a town house with a new extension on the back. There are a few steps to go up and I have not seen a ramp. From the entrance hall, up about 10 stairs you walk through a sitting room to the extension which has a lift. The rooms are all well presented, clean and tidy with Television and en-suite bathroom with shower, toilet and sink. A tea tray will be put in the room for an extra small payment and will be filled up everyday. We have only stayed in twin rooms, but they will let them to...

On The Doorstep Of Heathrow Airport

Advantages: nice rooms, convenient location, lovely pool bar
Disadvantages: Parking and food were a little on the expensive side

...I stayed at the Sheraton Skyline hotel near Heathrow airport in September 2007 before I flew out on my annual holiday. I booked this hotel because according to their website, it is literally on the doorstep of Heathrow Airport. Room Our room was located on the 10th floor but sadly the room overlooked the hotel car park but to be honest this wasn?t a problem because we weren't staying here for the view! Our room was very large, much bigger than I expected for the price I paid. The bed was extremely large, probably about 6 feet wide and very comfortable. It certainly left us both feeling like we had a decent nights sleep. The room also had two wardrobes, an office desk and chair and a lamp on either bed side table. There was also a fully stocked mini bar but to be honest the prices were so extortionate that we didn?t even bother...

1811 Georgian Town - a superior style guest house

Advantages: Stunning house, high quality, diets catered for, excellent service, slept like a log
Disadvantages: Nothing I can suggest

...I dont normally stay in guest houses unless in South Africa or Canada where the B&B style is much different. There you expect luxury rooms, a home baked breakfast, good conversation and a great location. Have now found one in Central London that is completely to my taste. The 1811 Georgian Town house is exactly as it says on the tin - a Regency property that has been metriculouly restored to English Heritage standards. The property is not only grade II listed outside but so all authentic on the inside and why the 1811 Georgian Town House was selected for my business trip. Hats off to our host, I'm not the easiest of guests but she responded to every need without being flustered I'm lactose intolerant and vegetarian, dont like man made fibres and had too much to do in too little time. With a gracious and helpful attitude she...

Guests come to the Town

Advantages: Some good writing in parts
Disadvantages: Badly drawn characters, rather unbelievable

...life behind to live in a small, dull town. Greg's mother seems to be the most comfortable. She is a purebred "Molakan" and very set in her ways, even blessing the entire house before anyone can enter. Unfortunately, the idyllic small-town life that Greg so desperately wants for his family doesn't materialize. Something else is waiting for him in McGuane instead. Something strange. Something frightening. Something that is making the inhabitants of McGuane die. When these strange murders start to happen to the people of McGuane- it is Greg and his family who get the blame. Greg doesn't know what is happening; but his mother and the other Russian members of her Molokan church do. Uninvited guests have arrived in McGuane. Guests that cannot be seen. Guests that cannot be heard. Guests that cannot be...

A Room with a Loo

Advantages: Close to the town, good cooked breakfast, all ensuite, comforable beds and ample tea/coffee
Disadvantages: noise levels at times at the front of the hotel only.

...~~Emsley Guest House~~ After deciding not to go away with the caravan, we made up our minds to have at least two nights away somewhere. So we chose to visit Stratford upon Avon, I searched the internet and looked at some hotels, but they were a little more than we wished to spend for this outing, so we opted to for a more reasonably priced alternative and started looking at Guest Houses and B & B establishments. I tried late deals but nothing appealed and to me it didn?t seem that much cheaper; I then came across Emsley Guest House and thought it looked lovely on the photos; I also liked the fact it had its own website and a phone number supplied so I could ask questions as I do have some needs that will have to be considered when it comes to my mobility. I rang up the hotel to find that they were fully booked...

A cry in the dark!

Advantages: Good price, useful location, clean and comfortable
Disadvantages: Breakfast served only in room, poor breakfast, no lock/light working in bathroom

...others have are situated away from the stairs so you won't have the noise from other guests as they come and go. An ironing board and iron were usefully located on one of the landings. There were two bedrooms on our floor and a bathroom with toilet and shower on the same floor. The floor below us had its own bathroom too. Inside the room was a washbasin. I'm a bit confused as to how many rooms and what facilities the guest house actually has. There are either seven or eight rooms - we were in Room Seven but I am not sure whether the one next to it was six or eight. The website says the guest house can accommodate up to sixteen people but also says that there are triple/family rooms. All rooms are at least doubles so I would have thought they could accommodate more than sixteen. Anyway, moving on... There are two bedrooms on the ground...
