Good food, great staff, well placed in the centre of town, plenty of free hotel parking. One gripe: Room 120 is plagued day and night by the sound of machinery - possibly the hotel's laundry room? So when booking again, I'll ask for a different room!

Beverley

Stayed at the Ivy Bush many times, this time for a bargain price of £58 per couple (including breakfast). The rooms are a little outdated but clean and comfortable. The staff are attentive, even during a busy Xmas party weekend. The breakfast was plentiful and the car park was free. Will certainly be returning.
