Avoid, it's a scam. Not as advertised.
Pros:

The location for our needs

Cons:

The fact that when I booked I asked them to confirm it was 2 beds as 2 adult males needed to stay, I was told yes a double bed and a sofa bed. Absolutely inaccurate, there was a double bed that looked like it had been slept in and hadn't been changed, the sofa bed wasn't actually a sofa bed but more of a chaise lounge that wouldn't of fitted a large child and the bedding given to us for it seemed used and unwashed.
When I said that we was assured it was 2 seperate beds she said sorry about that and left us.
The room was obviously someone's room they let out as it still has all the things that someone would have in their room in it. The bathroom had a bin that had an old toothbrush and cleaning materials in it and a reusable dirty coffee cup on the radiator. When we wanted to speak to the person she was nowhere to be seen so couldn't discuss it. We end up leaving withing 20 minutes and requesting a refund which she denied.

I would definitely avoid this place.

29 Dunnock Road - Not very clean
Pros:

The bed was very comfortable and room size good.
The lady on arrival was very friendly day and very nice.

Cons:

Cleanliness, dusty skirting boards in room and bathroom.

Shower covered in limescale esp shower screens
Tiles in bathroom not cleaned.

Walls in bathroom were not clean evidence of rain damage on walls.

No evidence of it being hoovered prior to our visit.

Hair traps in shower filthy, nowhere to put shower bottles and on moving them black marks on shower tray.

Mirrors not cleaned

Finger marks on wall light by bathroom.

Shelves dusty and books very dusty.

When I plugged my phone charger in I looked down and skirting boards were black with dust and a takeaway lid was behind the bedside table.

Sink in bathroom not clean staining round taps.

Window ledge had dead spider and lots of dust.

Horrendous
Pros:

Close to work

Cons:

This is false advertised. It us not a guest house but a room in someone’s house. The house is really dirty and smelling. When i arrived, the room was not cleaned and had to ask the host to clean. They had a cat pet which kept coming to my room. The hosts would leave the front door unlocked. The house is really dirty.

Property should not be advertised on booking.com. It should be on air b&b.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

When I booked it I thought that it was a guest house, B&B. It was not that at all. It was the attic of a private home.

Basic dated accommodation ! Watch out for the fierce receptionist!
Pros:

Very basic

Cons:

The greeting by their receptionist was horrendous! I was helping to check in my relatives (from the USA) in at 9pm (I’d warned the hotel we would be arriving about that time). We had travelled from Lincolnshire, where my dog had been sitting for over 2 hours whilst travelling. I thought it would be nice for her to be able to stretch her legs. She is part of Guide Dogs and helps numerous times to fundraise for them. She was on her lead and had her Ambassador Guide Dog coat on. The receptionist at first was preoccupied with her phone and when I eventually got her attention, she shouted at me to take the dog out, disregarding her Guide Dog coat and screamed several times at me to again take her out! She repeatedly screamed whilst I tried to explain that this dog would not bother her. I eventually had to ask to see her manager, who was very helpful; but unfortunately she too got shouted at by the receptionist!
