Reviews for Highbury Guest House

Review 1：Room was clean and tidy, but it was noisy with the guest beside me. Room 10 isn't a good room to get as room 8 and 9 are so close.

Review 2：Very convenient to town centre

Review 3：Friendly, helpful, comfy, clean, perfect location for a surprise birthday dinner at Brown's Lane. Triple room was absolutely perfect for us to socialise with our older children, who slept in other rooms and our grandson who slept with us. Perfect weekend! Thank you!

Review 4：Things will occasionally go the way we don't plan. It's the getting it right again that matters. Things got put right fast and without fuss.

Review 5：Friendly staff. clean and tidy. Value for money breakfast and stay.

Review 6：- Lovely crisp clean bed linen and towel - Toiletries!! - En-suite - Parked right underneath my hotel room - Breakfast selection was fabulous - Super-friendly welcome of staff On my first night I told the hotel that I wouldn't be needing breakfast on either day as I had to be gone by 7.45/8am and it only started at 8am - too late to eat as I was on a course - so she said that it wasn't a problem, what time would I like it and they would have it ready for me. Can't ask for better than that.

Review 7：Breakfast time from 7am till 8:30. Ceckout time at 10:30am. Room cleaning before 12pm. Don't disturb sign not available. Separate Cold/hot water tabs. No refrigerator for cold water. No safe box available. Bed NOT comfortable.

Review 8：If you are a student and looking for a place to stay for a few days than this B&B could be suitable for you. It's definitely not the right place for businessmen or someone wants to have some relaxation.

Review 9：Water pressure in the shower was minimal. The location is fine say if you´re coming by car as it´s on a main road. However it´s not close to the local train station so either you have a good walk or you get a taxi. This is not a dislike as such but being a B&B so no lift make sure you´re good and healthy enough to lug those suitcases up to the third floor if in room 15.

Review 10：Was in room 15 at the top (attic room). Comfortable and own bathroom. Good hearty breakfast. Quirky place with some interesting tips from the owner for opening the different doors!

Review 11：Booking dot com web site needs modifying re meals. B&B with no B!!!!!! Fortunately the staff sorted it on arrival.

Review 12：Owners and staff made a good place better.

Review 13：rooms maybe a touch cramped for some, but fine for me

Review 14：Very nice , quite small family run B&B, great location, close to the GC railway, great breakfast, 5 mins from the Organ Grinder pub

Review 15：Was surprised and disappointed to be charged full price for a family room even though there was only 2 of us. £40 extra for 2 days made it rather expensive.

Review 16：Clean comfortable accommodation. Very good breakfast,friendly competent staff.

Review 17：The only thing I could fault is that there wasn't a toilet in my room but there was a shower and basin. The toilet was however on the same floor and not too far at all.

Review 18：I only stayed one night but would definitely return. The lady on reception was lovely and very friendly. It had a good 'feel' about it and I had a comfortable stay. Thank you!

Review 19：We were traveling quite late and needed a place to sleep, and a discounted rate appeared on booking.com around midnight so I went for it. We arrived around 2am. Turned out the host was not aware of that we had booked, was grumpy the whole time and said we should have been "chaged double" - I understand his anger might have been due to the fact that the guesthouse policies did not include a check in this late - but booking.com was showing a deal and I dont think I deserved to be treated that way.

Review 20：Breakfast and everything else except below

Review 21：shower pressure was quite low and colour scheme a little old fashioned.

Review 22：nice and quiet. staff more than helpful. ideal location not too far from loughborough town centre or Leicester city centre. secure parking.

Review 23：Nothing.

Review 24：As a mature couple travelling with my Mother and our daughter and family to a family wedding this friendly guest house was enjoyed by us all. Everywhere was clean, beds were comfortable, breakfast substantial well cooked and served, everything was done to make our stay enjoyable - even helping us to locate the church and reception venue.

Review 25：It's a fair walk to town for shopping and restaurants, so if you have a car, it's a great place to stay.

Review 26：Best B&B of the whole trip. Excellent bathroom, comfortable facilities, nice breakfast, Cosmo and Irene are about the best hosts I've met in many years of travel. Highly recommended.

Review 27：There was nothing I didn't like.

Review 28：The staff were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The place was immaculate. I was extremely impressed. What also impressed me was proper food for breakfast, not mass produced junk. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and felt pampered. They even catered for my gluten freeness with GF bread at breakfast

Review 29：Road-facing room (last available) and the sound of Saturday-night traffic

Review 30：welcoming, helpful, efficient and accommodating staff and an excellent breakfast in bright and spacious surroundings.

Review 31：The twin room we were given was small and a little claustrophobic as was the narrow passageway leading to it and needed some updating. There was a bar but not really used and no one around in the evenings when you would like to have used it.

Review 32：The staff where very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was fantastic well presented and a good choice of options.

Review 33：The switch for the main light in the room was... outside the room.

Review 34：Nice staff with a little bit odd sense of humor. Very good breakfast with place for private wishes.

Review 35：Hard pillows not comfortable

Review 36：We are not able to comment much on this properly as we were there for about 4 hours as had to leave to come home because of a fire we had at home ....

Review 37：The bed was not clean duvet pillows needed to be laundered, there was a hair in with my breakfast you could hear everything the staff were saying in the kitchen from the dining room no salt on my table, constant noise of small dogs barking this place needs a massive revamp staff and all.

Review 38：The guest house is located only a 10 minute walk from both the town centre and the train station. My room was small but very cosy and nicely decorated. The breakfast was delicious. All in all you get a very good value for money and I can only recommend staying at this guest house!

Review 39：The standard if the room was very high and the room was large. Staff and owners very welcoming and accommodating Parking great. Outstanding value for money

Review 40：Nothing, always internet could be faster and it was hard to get a connection on the top floors, but that was a minor nuisance, not a real problem.

Review 41：A wonderful experience. We travelled as a group with 4 rooms in total and both the service, the friendliness were great. It felt like we were staying with friends.

Review 42：Very small bathroom, only one person can use it at a time.

Review 43：Friendly staff. Excellent location for Loughborough. Comfortable and clean rooms. Great breakfast.

Review 44：Everything! Ease of parking, lovely welcome, huge superkingsize bed made up just as we like with sheet first then duvet (room B), plentiful hot water, very spacious room, B&B perfection.

Review 45：Noisy guests throughout night. Noisy outside. Uncomfortable bed. Small room. The lock on the door didn't look secure.

Review 46：Wifi worked well. The room was fairly clean. Furnishings looked nice.

Review 47：The owner plays the folk game of not being happy with the visitor. At the beginning is kind of funny but after the second day is really annoying.

Review 48：The place was clean, silent, small and very next to everything. It is well designed.

Review 49：The room was just big enough for the two single beds.

Review 50：We were greeted warmly and the staff were very helpful. The downstairs was attractive with areas to relax, a bright dining room and a bar I think. Excellent breakfast, good choice, friendly helpful staff.

Review 51：The staff were welcoming and friendly, the rooms are clean and comfortable and breakfast was lovely! Can't fault it and will book again when we do another trip on the GCR

Review 52：No complaints- some of the decor was a bit dated but paintwork etc all in good condition. Did not need to use WiFi but there were 2 networks.

Review 53：Very convenient location, super breakfast! Room and bathroom very clean

Review 54：a good b&b which I have stayed before . a good room with an excellent shower and superb breakfast .handy for the steam train station and 15 minutes walk into town . also a good car park at the back for my motor bike .

Review 55：The water pressure in the shower was too low and it took a long time for the water temperature to change in response to my turning the knob.

Review 56：It was quiet.

Review 57：Nothing, the place was exactly what a good old B&B should be.

Review 58：Friendly owner, rooms nice and clean and the breakfast choice was very good. the other staff were as equally friendly as the owner. thank you.

Review 59：Unfortunately we couldn't get the shower to work properly,no hot water,never mind though.

Review 60：Very quiet,very friendly ,room very comfortable,the location was handy for what we had to do.

Review 61：There was a light that was shining through the window to light up the house which was on till quite late

Review 62：Really clean rooms and good humour from the proprietor. A really happy atmosphere overall from the other guests made this a pleasant stay and close proximity to town centre was very convenient.

Review 63：Clean room and the Guest House was well located for the centre of town, and - personally - five minutes from where I was working. Likes - the vegetarian cooked breakfast option and ample parking. With friendly staff and the above, would certainly stay here again in the future.

Review 64：We were a large party of 3 adults and 2 children aged 3 and 9. We were all made very welcome and the hotel was very childfriendly. the breakfasts were excellent

Review 65：There were two internet connections available, but on the first evening, both were so slow that I gave up. (Might be because I was way up on the top floor) But one worked fine the following morning.

Review 66：I needed a cheap but friendly B&B in Loughborough, to attend a meeting at the university. I chose Highbury because they have a really inexpensive single room (with ensuite shower but with shared toilet - it is right at the very top of the house) and they were so easy to find, and so near to the venue. The little room was really cosy and warm, fairly basic but with everything I needed. Excellent spacious off-road car park. Cheerful welcome. Hearty breakfast, too.

Review 67：I went to Loughborough to run a half marathon. Due to the event timing, I could not checkout on time. The owner, Irene, professionally explained the situation and we've agreed to an arrangement to allow me to shower before I checked out after the event. That was a very kind gesture and much appreciated. The room was very clean and warm. the facilities were all in excellent condition. I would definitely recommend this place to others.

Review 68：at night and in morning strong smell of sewage in en suite area and shower kept running cold so maybe a general issue with the water in the property which would explain both issues?

Review 69：the chap who greeted us upon arrival was friendly, funny and warmly welcoming. even though the property was on the main road and we had the windows open all night, it was amazingly quiet and the most comfortable bed. a proper kingsize spacious bed! we had an enormous bed and even a sofa to chill on! the room was very clean and tidy and well stocked with bodywash, towels, tea, coffee, biscuits etc.

Review 70：Only slight gripe, bed was very firm, however I'd rather have that, than a bombed in one!!

Review 71：Great atmosphere, very friendly staff, smart decor, well appointed room, comfy, really well cooked breakfast, plenty of toast, tea & Coffee!!, would recommend without reservation!!

Review 72：Nothing

Review 73：Friendly welcome and free upgrade. Very spacious room and large bed. The room was spotlessly clean. Convenient location about a five minute walk from the centre of Loughborough.

Review 74：Only problem is location if you're wanting to be anywhere else than Loughborough Uni - I needed to be a bit nearer Loughborough Station. However, given the price, it's not really that much of a problem. The road is a little noisy but that's to be expected from a main road.

Review 75：Massive bed, nice TV, very clean, bathroom very high spec. More like a hotel room than a guest house. Staff couldn't be nicer and breakfast freshly cooked and delicious.

Review 76：Tiny comment, breakfast timing could be increased to 0900 from 0845.

Review 77：A first class guest house. The accommodation and general standard throughout was excellent. The staff and owners were friendly, efficient and courteous thought our short stay. We would definitely return there again.

Review 78：No dislikes

Review 79：Everyone was very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. We were offered the opportunity to return to the guest house later and use their facilities if the weather was bad. Would stay again if we were in the area.

Review 80：The owner was negative even about the property, it was incredibly noisy between rooms and just rather dated

Review 81：The price, the location, and the ease of parking

Review 82：it was raining.lol.

Review 84：It is an a main road, but we knew that when we booked.

Review 85：The place is easy to find, there is good parking off-road. The room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was excellent - one of the best we ever had. The staff was very friendly and the free Wi-Fi was a bonus. We certainly would go there again.

Review 86：I got completely lost as I tried to go through Loughborough one way system. The owner kindly talked me all the way to the hotel over the phone. Very comfy and quiet. Great breakfast, good value for money.

Review 87：Furnishings and decor looked a little tired. Fan in bathroom was noisy and there was a lack of hooks to hang clothes on. WiFi a little temperamental, although a choice was available.

Review 88：Clean room, towels and bed linen. Room was a good size and located on quiet side of hotel with a fire door closing out any noise in the hall. Extra washbasin in room was very useful. Made to feel welcome despite late arrival and requests were accommodated - thank you.

Review 95：lovely welcome on arrival. room very tastefully decorated. everything spotlessly clean/ and the breakfast choice was very very good. and a 10 minute walk into the town of loughborough. which is well worth a visit. and if you love steam trains like we do. your 10 minutes away from the steam trains that travel and the museum well worth a visit also.

Review 100：Friendly, clean very comfortable room and bed. I had the best sleep on my whole time away from home here. Breakfast was above average. Very handy to my destination at the Great Central Railway. Close to some great restaurants in town. If I return to UK for holidays, I would definitely visit Highbury again.

Review 101：There is a bit of noise to the front but only more noticeable as I am used to no noise at night.

Review 102：Everything about my stay in a double ensuite to the front of this gorgeous period house was perfect. From the great welcome by Irene to the beautiful clean pristine room. Go for the breakfast.....its beautifully presented with lots of choice and more than you can possibly manage! On a summers morning the light amd bright dining room doors are open onto a lovely outdoor dining area.

Review 107：The B&B were very flexible as we held up in traffic and didn't arrive until 10.45pm. We hadn't booked breakfast but were able to change this on arrival.

Review 108：Our Bathroom in Room 9 that we used was extremely small and a struggle for us as two elderly people.This was our only gripe and we would ring them direct and ask for a room with a bigger Bathroom next time.
