A piece of old Bury St Edmunds.
This is a basically C19th Inn, although some of it might be older. The room was clean and bright, the en-suite shower the same. Tea/coffee and kettle &c provided in the room. Bed fairly comfortable. Two things that were not so good: there was no hot water from the hand basin tap - no water at all in fact - and this could not be rectified until after the weekend (I booked in Saturday afternoon). All Ok in the shower. I could not open either the bedroom window nor the bathroom one, both sash windows painted and stuck. Secondary double glazing over both did not help, and the space between that and the window panes could do with the network of cobwebs being cleared out. Sunday morning breakfast was a problem for the place, as the breakfast maid had not appeared. Mine Host therefore cooked the full English himself - which was very good and well done. Nothing apart from that such as cereal or bread/toast was on offer. I saw only the innkeeper - who may be running the place more or less single-handed - but he was friendly and helpful. The place is well sited as it is only a short walk to the Abbey/Cathedral area, or the Market Place and new shopping centre. It is quiet and in one of the many attractive old streets of the town. Bearing in mind what the place is and what it is not, I was generally satisfied with my stay and would go there again.

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.

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.

seriously disappointing!
The pub was a really old and historic. My room was dirty. The tv remote did not work. The hot water tap in the sink did not work. The net curtain was tatty and frayed down both edges. Part of the other curtain came off its rail. the window ledge was black with dirt. The bottom of the toilet bowl was brown! The bathroom radiator paint was chipped and had brown stains on it!. The shower runners were really dirty. The noise from some kind of "generator" outside my window was very noisy , and came on and went off all night long. The room was very small, and therefore very stuffy without the window open. No decaf tea nor decaf coffee for breakfast. There is much to be done to bring this room up to scratch!
The ladies toilet in the pub bar area was very dirty, no toilet roll..
A shame, as it s a very central location.

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!
