Reviews for Ashley House
Review 1：Bathroom was dirty when I arrived and staff were not particularly helpful/apologetic, milk was off at breakfast, limited parking on street outside, sash window difficult to open and when open let in street noise.
Review 2：Nice big room and comfy bed. Full english breakfast was nice.
Review 3：No where to put my clothes except to pile them on the carpet. Not even a hook anywhere, neither in the bathroom or the bedroom. Even at Borstal I had a hook.
Review 4：Breakfast
Review 5：Would have liked more milk for the drinks but other than that it was great.
Review 6：There was no reception so I didn'ts we any staff to rate, very clean good sized room.
Review 7：The window in my room was broken which meant I didn't sleep well due to all the noise outside and I couldn't reach the plug socket behind the bed as the headboard was too big.
Review 8：The bed was comfy
Review 9：no welcome when arriving, toilet was coming away from the wall, not very friendly at breakfast, didn't ask if we wanted more coffee, tea or toast etc or how was our night. might be ok for workers.
Review 10：locality to the town
Review 11：Comfortable and clean rooms, well situated in the middle of Newmarket. No reception but easy access via door entry codes. Breakfast was good and overall it was fair value.
Review 12：Poor sound insulation from passing traffic/pedestrians, windows only single-glazed. No usable wardrobe space to hang clothes as they were filled with a make up bed and spare bedding material.
Review 13：Good bed and good breakfast. Good TV and WiFi
Review 14：Although we had booked a twin room we were provided with a larger family room with 2 double beds (1 of which was a bed settee) and a very comfortable arm chair. The room was on the ground floor so we had no stairs to climb. The breakfast was substantial and nicely cooked. The shower could not be bettered. The members of staff that we met were very pleasant.
Review 15：We had the suite, I felt this was a bit over priced as it is in need of a good freshen up.
Review 16：Ashley House is ideal for visiting the local restaurants and bars and a short taxi ride from the race course. The bed was really comfy and had a good night sleep. Key pad into main house and room which was fine for us.
Review 17：Street parking only - lottery for spaces nearby.
Review 18：Central location for walking around Newmarket. Slept with window open and not disturbed by noise during night (top floor flat). Lovely Indian restaurant directly opposite.
Review 19：Someone tried to get into my room at 11 o'clock at night, told the owner who was totally uninterested. Strangers off the street can walk into your room so long as they remember the keycodes. Had to sleep with a chest of drawers behind my door!
Review 20：Location.
Review 21：No tv remote, was provided with one to try from another room but this didn't work.
Review 22：I loved being close to the town center, with the availability of bars, the room was clean and a good size. Breakfast was good quality.
Review 23：Single bed in attic room uncomfortable but other beds in other room v comfortable
Review 24：Excellent location easy parking excellent value private good food clean
Review 25：Nothing Cx
Review 26：The comfort of the bed Breakfast was top quality not to much although you could have had as much as you would have wanted all cooked fresh lucksurioys Room good bathroom good but bit small but you can't have everything Thanks very much stayed twice will be staying again Stayed Bedford lodge but that's just showing off
Review 27：I had to phone the off site owners on arrival to gain access codes for the hotel and my room. In the room there was no remote control for the tv, and no chair to sit on. The shower head fell off during shower so I had to abandon shower. In the breakfast room there were only 3 tables, so people formed a queue outside the door waiting for their breakfast.There was a lot of noise from the street outside even when the single-glazed window was shut fully.
Review 28：Good breakfast. There was a bed in the room!
Review 29：Very tiny uncomfortable with bed across bathroom bed lights in shower disguiting information pack poor you need to turn room upside down to find wifi password and than you realise that is fixed Behring TV on the wall carpet needs a good clean no value for money no curtains shower so small some soap left over
Review 30：Nothing
Review 31：There are no hotel facilities - no common room, no staff, no reception, and when you run out of toilet paper on Easter Sunday night what do you do.? We expected a small B&B with somewhere to gather as a group having originally booked 5 rooms. Instead we found a no-staff, code entry to a set of bedrooms and a small basement breakfast room where some appeared to cook breakfast. That was the only good part. Small rooms with an tiny ensuite shoehorned into part of the original bedroom. Economic, yes but now we know why.
Review 32：Location good on edge of town.
Review 33：A few small points let the experience down. Bulbs missing in bedside light and bathroom. Shower head far too high to adjust away from head and face. Breakfast arrangements unclear, so we went out!
Review 34：Location was excellent and the fact that you could check-in at any time without need for a receptionist. Very clean and comfortable room and good value for money.
Review 35：The shower in my room was a bit dodgy and leaked water out the door, but was easily wiped up.
Review 36：The breakfast in the morning was really delicious, and Anne was lovely, friendly and incredibly helpful! The bed was really comfy, the room was cozy and it is located in a good spot. I would definitely stay again.
Review 37：Fantastic location with easy access to Newmarket and ample parking. Really good full English breakfast was just what we needed after our Xmas party!
Review 38：Slightly disconcerted at no one on site and payment taken remotely. It caused no problems I'm just not used to it !
Review 39：Easy and central access to the town
Review 40：Items I would normally expect missing, no chair to sit on which made using computer awkward so had to sit on one of the drawers belonging to the chest of drawers. Which would only be needed if you were staying for numerous days. No toothpaste provided.
Review 41：Excellent breakfast and good location for town access.
Review 42：Road is very noisy beside accommodation. Breakfast wasn't great.
Review 43：Location. Felt like a hotel with the combination codes to enter so could come and go as pleased.
Review 44：Very straightforward facility, 5 minute walk from Newmarket racecourse and tucked away from the noise of the adjacent High St, with its vast range of bars and restaurants. Room was cosy and clean and catered for my very basic need of a bed for the night.
Review 45：initially didnt like coded doors as i was more familiar with having a room key or swipe card, but got use to it.
Review 46：peaceful environment, location ideal for places to eat, shops and so forth.Very friendly house-keeper, who provided a good breakfast each morning.
Review 47：Couldn't park anywhere near Plastic mattress protector on beds! Cheap uncomfortable bed No lightbulbs in bedside lamps Noise from busy pub with music until late Mismatched orange pine furniture
Review 48：Handy location Good breakfast
Review 49：there was only a thin blind (broken) and a streetlight directly outside the window, so it was impossible to sleep in the orange glow. Mattress uncomfortable, and needs turning as is down on one side. no password for the wifi so couldnt log on
Review 50：clean
Review 51：very noisy from street and public house behind the hotel, shouting outside until four in the morning. Parking in the street
Review 52：very clean and tidy a bit strange to walk in with the code for front door and room and get on with it so to speak. I will stay there again in the future. Early breakfast was not a problem as i asked when booking very helpful lady who cooked the breakfast
Review 53：Nobody there to receive us when we arrived. Was told that an email was sent with door codes the day before. This went into my junk box so I never saw it. Had to phone to get into the room. When there, the toilet was pulling away from the wall to which it was attached as a cantilever attachment. I was afraid to use it in case it pulled away entirely. There was a pub nearby which had a band playing until midnight on the Sunday. Revellers were making noise until 03.00. I was extremely tired when I arrived home.

Review 101：Location price staff breakfast
Review 102：talked and helped
Review 103：Nice and clean
Review 104：Bathroom in need of improvement
Review 105：Breakfast super, clean and tidy. Handy position.
Review 106：Not applicable.
Review 107：Second visit and again found that they were very accommodating. Great breakfast which really sets you up for a day on the Heath.
Review 108：Nothing to complain about.
Review 109：Comfortable and very clean. Best iv stayed in for a while.
Review 110：No problems during my stay.
Review 111：The bedroom had all that is needed for a 2 day stop. It was strange seeing no staff, but I realised how easy it was getting in and out of the Guest House. The one breakfast I had was good and no fuss about it.
Review 112：Ashley House does not have resident staff or owner. In my experience if you have a problem using the key code locks on the front & bedroom doors nobody answers the number you are given to call. So you can pretty much sleep in your car until somebody comes to serve breakfast next morning.
Review 113：No staff in residence - no keys - just numerical codes to access the building and the room. The lady who did the breakfasts was nice, but not around for the rest of the day or night. Felt vulnerable without anyone around; not pleasant for women on their own.
Review 114：Handy location. Nice warm room.
Review 115：The hotel is 'self-service' apart from at breakfast time. Whilst the key code system for accessing the hotel and the room was easy I was worried about how often the codes were changed, and therefore how secure my belongings actually were - I ended up carrying a lot with me. Payment and codes sent quite late the day before, which left me worrying about whether my booking would be confirmed.
Review 116：Good breakfast if you have the full English - if there were any other options we weren't told about them! Certainly a no-strings attached hotel, but good value for money.
Review 117：No reception. When we arrived we had to call a number and were given a door code over the phone. Very unusual. Not sure how that would work out for travellers without a UK cell phone. Also, the beds where fairly hard and had a plastic liner on the mattress. Keeps things cleaner, but also makes the bed really hot.
Review 118：Location was good. Close to the main street with plenty of restaurants.
Review 119：Ground floor bedroom window had to be open as it was too hot this meant we got to listen to various conversations of people outside at daft o clock. Would be a good idea to put a notice in the window or have a fan in the room
Review 120：Home cooked fresh breakfast
Review 121：The double room was very dark and pokey, with cheap furnishings and fittings, not at all what we expected for the prices charged especially when compared to the other venues we have stayed in before in Newmarket. The single bedroom was extremely basic, no chair, only a stool, and it was extremely noisy all night, which was embarrassing as the guest is a good friend of ours. All in all, this venue is a "cheaply done conversion" which needs much improvement.
Review 122：It was nice to meet a cheery lady who cooked us a good breakfast, alas, only white bread available.
Review 123：Traffic noise at night was a little annoying, but not serious issue.
Review 124：Room was comfortable, if a bit short on the headroom. Price was very good, quite adequate for the business we had to do. location was excellent
Review 125：There was nothing we didn't like. Just two points - which are the same in most of the hotels: 1. A bit noisy, but not to bad - simple solution which we used: earplugs. 2. The bed was a bit small for us - I think 200x140cm but it depends on your length and width :-).
Review 126：The big room including a bench. 1. A small, but good and practical bathroom. 2. Good, fresh-made breakfast. Overall: just good.
Review 127：The room wasn't clean when I checked-in. The garbage was still full, the toilet seemed to have been used. The first night, the wifi was down.
Review 128：The staff serving the breakfast was friendly and nice. Check-in is hassle free which was nice.
Review 129：Only a couple of external things - the bright street light outside, which could be rectified with a black out blind and street noise in the evenings but it didn't go on too late.
Review 130：Everything I needed was provided in the en-suite room, including taxi numbers, it felt safe and secure and the breakfast in the morning was well catered for and tasty - a lovely and friendly place to stay. Fit my needs.
