In May 2024, Nick Austin said about Burlington Hotel
Our first room was at the back, dark, grungy and the window backed onto the fire escape which blocked out most of the natural light... I actually felt depressed going back to this room. I don't believe it should be let out or if it is, it be made crystal clear what you're getting and should be considerably less than they were asking for it. Nothing like the photos of the rooms for when I booked. So I asked to change and was told it would be £15 to get a sea view room which was bright and airy in comparison but they didn't actually charge me for it which was decent of them. The sea view room was actually pretty good but still felt like the whole place is getting run down.
Overall the hotel is rundown and needs some TLC to bring it back up to feel worth the money.
The staff are very helpful but you can't help feel they are restricted by some of the management decisions. For example, they had a live singer in who's pretty good but the bigger, better stocked bar with more drinks options was closed. I was in the other bar and several customers asked for drinks that were only available in the bigger bar to be told they couldn't have them as it was shut. Not great commerce in my book.
The location is great, perfect even and thankfully they have parking but it is £6 a day extra...

Thank you for your helpful and informative 'How long does probate take' pages.
In my case 35 weeks with many of your points arising although I followed your clear and helpful advice. Phone not answered, e-mails not replied to, an escalation that achieved nothing, a second escalation that was not even recorded. Promises of calls from a senior manager that never arrived. For some reason a Grant arrived just a week after my MP wrote to them, can't think why!
I signed your petition although I fear there will be little public awareness of this problem and not enough takeup.
Best wishes

In November 2023, Alison Brennan said about The Probate Department (brokers)
After many attempts to obtain a copy of my mother's probate certificate from the government website I had to give up because they could only supply probate certificates for deaths that occurred BEFORE 1996. If your loved one died after that , the government cannot or will not help, or at least not using a simple online search. The gentleman who owns this website has kindly advised me to apply for a copy of the certificate through the post by sending a postal order. He was very helpful and answered my call immediately and without my having to listen to endless recorded messages and then be put in a long queue as is usually the case these days.
