The Lyndhurst Guest House

Having read old reviews from when the previous owners had the property, I had high hopes for this guest house. However, on arrival we were shown to our room (deluxe) and I was horrified to find that it was apparent that the beds had only been made, but not changed, from previous visitors. The were hairs and stains all over the bed sheets, layers of dust on all surfaces and a damp smell throughout. We immediately checked out after advising ******* of this issue. In the following weeks, the owner of the property failed to respond to any communication that ******* were sending. I warn anyone who was considering this property to sincerely consider elsewhere!

We had a great stay at the Lyndhurst, clean, tidy & functional, it served our needs well. I would definitely recommend the Lyndhurst to anyone wishing to stay there.

Definitely not a 4* property! The radiator didn’t get warm and the shower was cold despite being run for a few minutes. When we got to the Guest House the reception was disorganised and untidy. I hadn’t realised when booking that breakfast wasn’t available either. Doors banging at 3am then very noisy at 4.45am when guests in next door room came back. Wouldn’t go back.

This is certainly far from a 4 star. Central location with a comfortable bed but that’s about the extent of the positive’s. Shabby room. Wardrobe was propped up with a piece of card to stop it toppling over. Not deep enough for a coat hanger so items hung at an angle . Mini fridge , the seal wasn’t great. En suite shower, water pressure was terrible, note on wall instructing water to be run 5-10 minutes before expecting it to run hot! So little room between sink and shower we had to stand at an angle to wash. Lack of tea bags and a hair dryer, although in fairness the manager did rectify this immediately. Please note, if you are lucky enough to find a parking space outside the hotel, it will cost £5 a day payable via the hotel. All in all, extremely disappointed with quality and cleanliness of this room , in my opinion it was at best a 2 star.

Upon booking via *********** you get the option to choose a check in time. We was going to check in late, as travelling about five hours, after work. Unlike others we didn’t struggle with parking but once arrived at the guest hours there was no one to meet to greet us and we had to call a number to be given code to get in and be told what room we was in. The owner couldn’t be bothered to come meet us, even thought we stated we was going to book in late. They said they were in bed in pjs, so wasn’t going to meet us. They claimed they tried to contact us to give us details about how to get in, but funny we only got this sent via text after calling. *********** gave us a pin, we had no idea what this was for, presumed it was the front door code, but this wasn’t the case. We had room six, a small double. The mattress was lumpy and could feel the springs. Even laying on top of the duvet they could be felt. The room we was aware was going to be small as it states its a small double, but we underestimated how small. The room was hot, the window hardly kept any noise out, backing onto what I imagine was a drug den. Loud noises and small of ********. We think its recently been taken over by a new owners, from reading old reviews. The pictures are deceiving and I believe are from previous owners as such nice treats shown like croissants are now replaced with just biscuits. Since checking this morning some pictures might have been removed as they have had a few bad reviews this month. It’s a so called four star guest house, with great reviews. This certainly isn’t! Read recent reviews and not just the positive ones. We couldn’t stay there and had to check in to a well known hotel chain. The one thing you want when staying at a place is a mattress that you can sleep on! This should be a basic requirement.

Booked through ***********, paid £93 for double deluxe with sea view. The guest house was well positioned and we were fortunate enough to park nearby using a mipermit/parking operations app. Checked in with the host who was there! Recently been taken over by new owners. First impressions weren’t great, a very strange smell! We had room 2 which had a small balcony and two old chairs which we did actually use to sit out on early in the morning, with a cuppa. Nice sea view. It was so hot, the room was like a sauna, so asked for a fan and left the balcony doors open during the day and night as couldn’t have slept otherwise. The bed was so soft and unsupportive, one side had a big dip in it. Small adequate bathroom which worked well. The room was clean all be it smelly! Tea tray with biscuits, tea bags and coffee with milk & sugar. The people in Great Yarmouth have changed so much since I was last there 20 years ago and I wouldn’t stay ever again in a guest house.

Was so cold in the room no heating and noisy in and out the property

Stayed one night in a twin room with on suite. Loved the room. Basic but spotless. Coffee tea biscuits in room. Mini fridge . Nice decor ...Could of done witj a bit nore milk . . Close to the sea and Britania pier . Close to regent Road that leads to the town . Reasonable rates. Would stay again and recommend to friends & family .

What a lovely little place! Having booked a last minute weekend away we arrived early and were warmly welcomed by the owner. We had the fab room with the balcony and were lucky enough to have some great weather and enjoyed a nice early morning cuppa in the sunshine. The room was very clean and beautifully presented with lots of little touches. The breakfast had lots of choice and was delicious, I couldn't stop eating it! Great value, good location, just an all round very nice hotel that I would definitely recommend, thank you for being great hosts
