The room was ok for one night. Staff nice. Also good location. Breakfast time was late (8.30 am) for a normal working day so not very convenient for people travelling for work/business.

Stayed one night. Clean and comfortable. Landlord and manager very attentive and welcoming. Excellent traditional english breakfast. The pub itself is a proper drinkers pub so expect lively clientele in the bar. Would stay again.

10/10 Exceptional

The Westgate was easy to find and there was parking around the back of the pub as the town seems to have limited parking. The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was lovely. The location is a 5 minute walk to the shops .

Basic but convenient

I was just in town for the evening and a basic room was all I needed. This place fit the bill. You get what you pay for. Will probably stay again next time I am in the area.

Good value for money

Really good value for money, Chris was great and really helpful, the pub was nice and cosy and the room was perfect for what we wanted, which was somewhere to sleep and shower as we had plans for the weekend, would definitely stay there again

Some people may find the noise from the pub downstairs makes it difficult to sleep (my husband did), but the beds were so comfortable that it did not bother me at all. The parking is tight but it was great to have a designated space, and the proprietor was very helpful with getting in and out. The breakfast was fabulous, and we LOVED the town.

Comfortable stay at an affordable price. Close to the town. Good breakfast. Clean towels each day. Parking on site.

8/10 Very good

I stayed at this property for a total of 16 nights over a 4 week period. Warmly greeted each time. Key given shown up to my toom the first two weeks. Breakfast order taken. They were able to accommodate an early breakfast time to suit my work schedule. There were a couple of maintenance issues during my visit and staff were keen to correct these. Good pressure and plenty of hot water from the shower. Fresh towels midweek. Lots of local recommendations. A great stay!

Advertised as food but non available. Didn’t fancy breakfast upon seeing kitchen l
Malcolm, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Unusually lovely fluffy large bath towels which actually cover one round even if you're not a size 8! Usually bath towels are so small but these were lovely. Comfortable beds and very clean room. The only grumble Ihave was that despite putting the fact that I am vegan on the booking form, no provision was made - no plant based milk or margarine and no understanding of what a vegan breakfast might be. Although I was given a very nice beans on toast with tomato and mushrooms. Expedia rally should ensure that its providers hav e anunderstanding of vegetarian and vegan diets - it is down to them to provide education on that subject. Not difficult. Take responsibility.

4/10 Fair

seriously disappointing!

The pub was a really old and historic. My room was dirty. The tv remote did not work. The hot water tap in the sink did not work. The net curtain was tatty and frayed down both edges. Part of the other curtain came off its rail. the window ledge was black with dirt. The bottom of the toilet bowl was brown! The bathroom radiator paint was chipped and had brown stains on it!. The shower runners were really dirty. The noise from some kind of "generator" outside my window was very noisy , and came on and went off all night long. The room was very small, and therefore very stuffy without the window open. No decaf tea nor decaf coffee for breakfast. There is much to be done to bring this room up to scratch! The ladies toilet in the pub bar area was very dirty, no toilet roll.. A shame, as it s a very central location.

Fint for en enkelt nat, men det er i ringe stand, med fugt aftegninger på væggene, dårlig seng og ingen varme. Jeg sov med to lag tøj på for at holde varmen. Morgenmaden var god.
