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 Excellent

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 .

I only need one night stay.Very friendly room was a little small but was ok.Was very warm and i couldn't open the window.very basic but clean
Jacqueline, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

You’re staying upstairs of a pub. This helps give a feel for being a local. Welcoming proprietor. There were shrimp shells left in the sink. I’m sure just missed. And the pub tended to be noisy until maybe 11. I appreciated how convenient it was to town. Parking was technical, but super convenient.

Cracking little place that's fit for purpose. Very helpful and friendly staff. Great location with easy access to most local places of interest
Wayne, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The room was dirty. Draws filled with rubbish from previous stayer. The bed was used that much you couldn't sleep without rolling into the middle again almost a v shape! Sheets smelt foisty. Breakfast was at 830!? That's it. So when you are working, which I was, this was a struggle. First day extractor fan wasn't working so had a knock on the door, "sorry the extractor fans not working so no breakfast, here's a 10er for something". The landlord was pleasant enough however they just shouldn't have a b and b above as there is clearly no knowledge of how a room should be kept or presented. The actual positioning is great and it cost 170 for 2 nights, which I understand is fairly cheap, however cleanliness is a must and a bit of air freshener or something would've helped too. Oh, and a clean bed. All in all id pass on this one, I stopped in the bushel the week before and there was no comparison. And pretty much the same cost! Book the bushel for being central and swerve this one!!! Unless you want the Fawlty towers experience 👍

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.

6/10 Okay

Okay.

It was a room above a small pub. Very good breakfast, decor from 1985, tea and coffee not replenished, no teaspoon. Bedroom clean and comfortable. Overpriced.

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

8/10 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!

8/10 Good

I stayed in room 1: it is very compact but the bed was very comfortable and the room was just the right temperature. There was noise from a boiler I think but after a short while, I didn't notice it. The Full English breakfast was delicious. A great value place to stay!

8/10 Good

Nice, good price for centre stay .

Just a brief solo stay to attend show at The Apex. Which is a short walk away. Also close to shops etc. It was clean, comfortable & had what I needed no frills. It is pub so there was noise but no issues for me. Nice English Breakfast 8.30am only choice.
