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 .

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

A pub with character, clean, helpful staff, bathroom facilities could do with being updated, new management was taking over, a few teething problems but expected, all ready booked a room for next year and I've recommended it to others.
