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 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!

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.

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.

Stayed here for a night while passing through. Initially attracted by the price which was a little cheaper than others in the area and I try to stay in pubs where possible rather than budget chain hotel type places. Found the whole experience to be really lovely. The room was basic, pretty much as I had expected but was clean throughout and had all the amenities I really needed: tea & coffee, towels, en-suite & shower. Couldn't ask for more really. Staff were friendly and welcoming as was the atmosphere in the bar below. No food available in the evening but there are plenty of places to eat nearby so you're really spoiled for choice. Breakfast was at 8:30 and a full English which was really tasty. It set me up for the day. If you need a simple bed in a warm, friendly environment you need look no further.

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.
