The staff were very accommodating, the breakfast food was lovely, and you could get a private room for such a low price

The location is a bit out of the way and it could be cleaner, but for the price I am not going to complain. There is an electric kettle and a microwave available in the breakfast room.

I like this place. I’m staying there every week. It’s warm and comfortable and there are tea making facilities on a night. Could do with a restaurant though please!

The bed is squeaky and mattress was very comfy. I hope they will have a better breakfast. I stayed for a month it’s the same old stuff they served.

rooms was nice but the halls was like out the horror movie, breakfast was awful, don’t book if you want to be feed in the morning, it toast and cereal and the butter and jam had been mixed, probably because of the lack of cutlery

This place was what I could describe as the worst place. They gave my room to someone else and couldn’t get them out and gave me what I could describe as staff quarters no tea coffee I didn’t sleep as I felt unsafe as a lone woman and a member off staff was shouting on her phone most of the night. Keep well away

The photo and description of Shelford Lodge makes it look like a farm stay but in reality it is a down market guesthouse
