“Very unfriendly, dirty and stinks of damp!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2011

As soon as you walk through the door, the damp smells hits you and it's very off putting. There was no 'greeting' from the owners and had to actually ask him what his name was! Felt like unwelcome visitors intruding their home rather than a paying guest! Any communication was very 'cold'.
The stench of damp was incredible when entering the room! Can see why there are airfreshners all around the b&b and room now, and the windows left wide open. Not convinced the bedding had been changed from previous guests as it was so wrinkled, if it had, then obviously had never seen an iron. Only half the floor had been vaccumed as the other side where bits of fluff and crumbs on the rug! In one of the drawers inside the wardrobe were 2 wooden chip forks! These were never checked or cleaned then?? Skirting boards, light fittings and switches etc very dusty, and don't even get me started on the ventician blinds, omg!! The shower caddy was the most rustiest ever seen!
Breakfast one word communication again from the female owner 'morning', no asking how we were or how we slept, just very cold and unfriendly. The food wasnt that good and had to ask for tea/coffee rather than it being offered. After putting down the plates, she went and sat down to watch tv!! Unbelivable! What about your customers requirements at breakfast?? I see tv takes priority, so unprofessional! She never got up even when we finished eating. Check-out also cold, she had to move off the sofa from the tv, didnt open door, so glad to leave and will never come back unless its with the hotel inspector.

I'm not going to justify this 'review' with a detailed response - it isn't worth the effort.

Almost 2000 guests this year, and this is the first time we have had such complaints. I have my suspicions about this 'review' - we are not even a paying customer of TripAdvisor, so where this 'guest' came from I do not know.

I would advise any potential guests reading this 'review' to also look at us on the Late rooms website, as the reviews on there are more balanced in nature, not malicious.

If a guest really did have these issues, then the time to sort them out would have been during their stay, not anonymously on a website days/weeks later.

“a nice place and would go back.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 July 2011

We stayed at the seamore for 2 nights. a nice comfy double room and clean place. the breakfast was fab. owners were pleasant people. the guest house is perfectly situated close to a lot of the attractions and the town centre. it was perfect for a weekend get away.

thanks alot, B & C Leicester.

“Call in Alex Polizzi, the Hotel Inspector. (Seriously)”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 September 2010

Me & my husband were put in a upgrade room (family room) what for we don`t know. With the upgrade came very noticeable damp patches on the ceiling, and a hole in the wall behind the curtains. The radiator would not work, so with the damp it was cold during the night. Intergrating guests with their family does not go down well, e.g family members and pets seem to use the guests lounge. My husband is asthmatic so we could not go into the lounge, due to the cat being in the so called guest lounge.

Oh dear what can you say about some guests!
They were given an en-suite room at just £35 a night including breakfast, yet they still complain - but not to us during their stay, oh no - we just found out about this review from another guest!

The room does not have damp patches on the ceiling - there is a patch where previous owners have had to fix a hole or crack - but not a damp patch.

As for the radiator not working - I guess they didn't know how to turn the numbered knob to switch it on!!! They only stayed for 3 nights, so I guess it was too much for them to ask after the first nights stay...

As for their last comments - we are a GUEST HOUSE, not a hotel, a house where the owners live. Perhaps if they had mentined asthma when they booked, we would have mentioned we had a cat, and they might have booked elsewhere.

We are proud or our otherwise excellent ratings through another on-line booking website - there will always be those guests you cannot please, but the comments made here are misguided at best, if not just plain lies.
