Does anyone here use a coworking space?

I currently work from home 100%, as my team's office is a 4.5 hour drive away. This has worked for the last year but I'm now thinking of trying to do a 1-2 days a week in a paid office space. I sent out about 7-8 enquiries, and to my surprise only two got back to me. I visited one for a viewing, and am scheduled to view the second tomorrow but tbh I think it will be very expensive so unlikely to be suitable. I'm pretty introverted so I'm not crazy about working next to strangers in a hotdesking space, but as it's the cheapest option I'll see how it goes. I'd prefer a private room with a closed door but the prices are hilariously high at £300-500+ per month. I guess there's a market at those prices. I found an office at a good location a 45-minute cycle away, which is great. It has a locked cycle shed, stocked kitchen, shower, and good internet, for £95/month for 8 days/month. This seems like a reasonable price, although it'd be about 5% of my income, but I think I'd be happy there, although the actual coworking space itself is small with only 5 desks. What annoys me is that it's very difficult to find prices for these places. They all want you to get in contact and speak personally. I wish I could just see "this place has X facilities for £Y per month and here are pictures", like rightmove or something. Does anyone here use places like this? Anything to look out for, or good/bad experiences? Specifically, is there a better way to find pricing other than calling each company individually?

"Sir John Rose, the chief executive of Rolls to 2011, said that any risk that the Rolls design might not be 'best in class' would be outweighed by the overall gains that could be made by backing Rolls."
