We came to Cornerstone after booking a very disappointing holiday in a local holiday park. We booked it in a panic as we had nowhere to stay that night and it was getting on for 8pm. We managed to book 2 rooms (one for the kids and one for us) at a reasonable rate. 
When we arrived, we found the rooms clean and spacious with good facilities.  Our room included a microwave and small fridge freezer. The rooms were opposite each other and we were the only two rooms on that level meaning we could prop open the doors and have an apartment style feel to the area. 

Jerry the owner was welcoming and helpful. He has a lovely Irish calming influence and nothing seemed too much for him. He even sorted plates and cutlery for us so we could feed the kids. He was also quick to respond to any issues we had and sorted them immediately.  

The ensuite bathrooms were equipped with proper sized toiletries with decent shampoo and shower gels. The towels were clean and fluffy and the rooms were warm. 

Thank you Jerry for saving our holiday.  We had a great stay. 

Lovely welcoming place

I booked this hotel due to its proximity to the Eurostar station, a short 10-15 minute walk away. It is a historic building, the town was probably built around the building, so it is behind the main row of buildings on the high street, accessible through a walkway. On booking however, I was emailed very clear directions how to find the building from the rear area, which worked well.  The room, #2, was small and indeed had only skylights. But they were cracked open, and provided enough light and ventilation. The ensuite facilities were small but adequate, and a larger communal bath area was just down the hall if desired. The room was very quiet, the bed was comfortable, the linens just lovely. The on-site manager gave me directions to a nice place for dinner and helped me out with a lost item the next day. Points all around for service and quality of lodging. No, it’s not a five star resort, but for the price it is more than adequate. Next time I’m in Ashford, it will certainly be my go-to address!

Service, good location, comfortable room

Old building full of character, friendly staff. We arrived very early as in 10.30 am hoping to drop off cases but was shown to our room which was ready. We asked about disabled parking and she immediately asked the cafe next door to move staff car. Breakfast was in cafe next door which was ok. For what we paid was good value for money and right in the middle of town

A stopover to break down the travelling

I booked this for a two night stay to visit friends in the area.  The close proximity to the train station and town was appealing and of course it was reasonably priced.

We had room 4 and no it wasn't luxury but it was clean and comfortable,  I did not pay luxury prices so wasn't expecting a 5 star room.  The shower worked adequately and the bed was comfy.  

We booked the breakfast which is in the cafe next door, which was a decent breakfast, we did manage to park at the rear of the building but we were aware this parking was not guaranteed.

We had friendly and pleasant conversation with Jerry who was most welcoming and helpful.  All in all I paid £70.00 a night for a £70.00 a night hotel which in our opinion was perfectly acceptable for the money they charged.

Beware the early wake up call from the church bells!!!
Would book again!!

Cheap and Cheerful

Good points: Bed was comfy and plenty of tea and coffee supplied. 

Bad points: Pillows old and lumpy, no breakfast, room was not particularly clean, remote was filthy, stained pillowcase. Wine bar only a few metres away, loud music playing until gone midnight.

No Sleep

We came to stay at this place for just four night.  The first night room is small with really small toilet and two single beds are located in weird order with one extremely shorter.  But the staff lady  very helpfull to offer us another room with double bed and bigger toilet the next day.  As this is B&B but located right at heart of Ashford main street area and price at less than 70pounds per night is consider reasonable.  Don‘t expect any hotel service like daily room cleaning etc.  The room condition and cleaness just so so with the door lock almost falling apart.  This place also offer two parking spot so it is even more convinence as consider parking in UK city area is a nightmare.  
My worst experience did came in the check out day morning, as I decided to take a early morning walk around the town.  I got up to the balcony which located at the end of the corridor, yes the room itself has no window at all.  There is room right on leftside of the balcony.  A woman speak very loudly on phone (I guess) inside that room.  By the time I just check out is it raining outside, so not really pay any attention to her at all.  10minutes later I took a walk to the parking, all of a sudden I saw a woman run out from our B&B back door toward me.  I thought there is something I drop or left at that minute, but I was wrong as she came to me with really angry attitude which keep asking me where is her backpack.  Her act got even wild and over after saw me without any of her stuff.  And I think she not only has attitude problem but also serious mental issue as well, after I showed her my car inside out.  She kept saying I don’t believe you, you must took me bag!  So I go back to the B&B and look for staff for help.  And the lady staff is not on duty but there is a guy around who chat to this crazy lady for a while before she found out her backpack missing!  So I told this guy what happen, sound like he believe me and let me go for a morning walk.  Then even strange thing happen after I came back from the walk, as my wife told me our room door is suddenly open by that guy the staff, who found my wife is in the bed and just told her that crazy woman messed with me found her backpack under the chair at the balcony and case solve!  But the biggest problem is how possible the staff just use his key to came in my room without even knock?!!  And my wife is in the bed!  That is the most unacceptable part with our whole experience in this B&B.

Almost good stay until check out date...

Where to start? Despite having a sign up that requests that "if you have and complaints or issues please inform staff of these prior to leaving" it would have been nice to have seen some staff for longer than 5 minutes otherwise I would have attempted to inform them of the issues... and still have posted this review.

The only modern feeling convenience was the shower, other than that the place barely felt clean. The glasses available in the room had dirt in them and were dirty anyway. The TV was dark and the remote control barely worked. The toilet looked like it was last cleaned in the late 90's. There were gaps between the window frame and the wall to outside, so there was a constant draught coming into the room. The beds were uncomfy to say the least mainly because staying stable upon them was a task in itself and I weigh less than 190lbs (for someone 6'3" this is reasonable). The breakfast is from the cafe next door and I was happy to have it there as getting out of the Cornerstone was one of the best parts of the place.

Other than that the fire alarm went off and myself, and 2 other residents, were stuck waiting for the owner to appear for over an hour despite trying the numbers  provided (to no response) and the fire service appearing. This was at 3am and, as the lead fireman suggested, extremely dangerous, much to the protestations of the owner that the alarm had been checked only last week...

I really would not suggest staying there ever, to anyone.

Unclean and unsafe

Do not go here the owner is a fraudster and over charges the rooms have leaks and the people are loud and obnoxious we had a random intoxicated man knock on our door at 2am shouting. Not only that the manager who’s there is mean and will happily shout about you over the phone to his boss horrible place.

Don’t go here it’s a scam

I imagined stupidly that this was a charming BandB run by a nice couple; it isn’t. It’s a money-making machine for an avaricious owner. How can this advertise as a BandB when the breakfast is a fry-up in the greasy spoon next door? And our £100 room had NO WINDOW! Just another box in the owner’s money-making plan. OUTRAGEOUS! How can people get away with such false advertising-avoid the internet if at all possible.

Terrible

Stay away from this place, I would have moved out on the first night if I had not paid in advance, I had a long day at work leaving my home at 4 am, did a full days Work and then was woken by the television in Next Door‘s room on full blast, it was a homeless person they had taken in and she could not see what the problem was when I went round to ask her to turn it off, the place seems To be a haven for down and out, second night I slept reasonably well apart from a few banging doors, third night I was woken at one a M by some woman in the corridor threatening to kill her partner and then at five a M I was greeted by a man banging on the door with a Tin of Stella in his hand wanting to get in to see his mate, nothing more than a doss house, I won’t ever be staying there again
