Had to find parking a couple of streets away. Clean room and bathroom. TV was annoying to operate and poor sound. Plenty of teabags etc in the room, something that many places are stingy with. Breakfast was fab. Only one choice, full breakfast, but it was really good. Huge pot of coffee. Very happy with my stay.

The room was ok for one night. Staff nice. Also good location. Breakfast time was late (8.30 am) for a normal working day so not very convenient for people travelling for work/business.

Liked: Staff & service
Room was quirky! The single bed was higher off the ground than you'd expect because a normal bed clearly would not fit in the space. It was adapted to go over some boxed in pipe works. Bedding was lovely and clean as were the towels. Shower/loo clean but there was a small leak from the pedestal basin. The heated towel rail did not heat and shows signs of being overdue for replacement. TV will only turn on or off using the SKY remote control. You cannot change channels so it's BBC1 or nothing. Breakfast was genuinely great. This is an old pub in an old town run by, what appears to be, one very hard working gent. Make allowances for the overall appearance of the place and you will be fine.

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.

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 .
