Why not try the download from this site?
See if it's any better.

Many of these POI files are compiled quickly from the simple POSTCODE data. As we all know a single postcode can often cover quite a large area.
That's one of the advantages to the POIs from here, they are continually updated by users so that (for example) they will show the actual entrance off the road to places like castles, rather than where the press office is! |

I know that one in Birmingham is wrong, my wife went there last week and was sitting in a housing estate, wondering if it was behind the houses.
She was miles from where the actual hotel was, and again this came from Premier inns own site. |

Certainly.
You can save the correct location on your TT as a favourite or POI to remind you, and then when you have a moment, just go to THIS PAGE (there's a link in the boxes on the left - "Submit POIs") and either enter it as a NEW location or a CHANGE to an existing one.
It can get quite addictive....  |
