Wonderful pub and so close to town
Lovely pub with great ales and food. Room was spacious but hot. Fan was supplied but I don’t like the noise. Great spot for town.
Nice breakfast.

Good hotel for short stay
Pub with rooms in a good location if travelling by bus, short walk from bus station. Friendly staff, good breakfast choice. Room was comfortable and spotlessly clean. Bathroom small with modern facilities. Access to rooms via stairwell, no lift.

Great time at the Railway
Hotel was small and compact. Everything about it was great. The breakfast chef made the effort to get to know our breakfast order and was able to remember this throughout our stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Bathroom was compact but contained everything we needed. The pub was lovely and welcoming.

Really good location, room was a good size and clean, breakfast was lovely and they accommodated gluten and dairy free intolerances. Parking free on the street outside and enjoyed being so close to the canal for walks, which were lovely.
