The Railway Inn

The single room was an attic room with an apex ceiling only 5 foot 10 inches high. One velux window covered with a filthy curtain frayed at the edges, no sink or any other facility in the room, the shared bathroom was two seperat w..c's and a shower room one floor down. There was inadequate hand holds on the final staircase which made it very difficult for an 80 year d to manage especially with luggage.

Staff were lovely and the room had a couple of extra touches I wasn’t expecting like bottles of water. The only thing that I would say tainted the stay was that I couldn’t turn the heating off in the room and with the room being small and at the top of the building, it was so, so hot. Other than that, great.

Positives: clean room, comfortable beds. Sink in most rooms. Tea and coffeeaking facilities. Negatives: very loud music until after 11pm from the pub until late. Room 4 has no ventilation and very little head room. If the venue had mentioned the loud music we could have made a choice. The review would then be 3/5

The landlord is an absolute tube, he and his staff have no customer service skills, typical back street pub with a wannabe plastic biker behind the bar who has no idea how to make drinks that aren't from the pump. It won't be long before it closes again and the landlord can go back to the secure hospital he escaped from. He ruined an absolute blinder of a day for many people who had come to watch live music by turning the music up to the point of distortion and then basically telling you knob off when you point it out to him. Will not be going back here and we are local too..weather spoons has more charm than this dump.

Room was unfortunately grubby upon arrival, room was dusty, the bedding had clearly been used (hairs and stains on the bedding). This was brought to the attention of the landlord who didnt apologise but did offer to change the bedding when we went out. When we returned the bedding had not been changed, but a bag with fresher sheets had been placed outside the door. Another thing to note was that the milks supplied with the tea and coffee were mostly ＞1 month expired. The bed was thankfully comfortable, but overall the lack of cleanliness was concerning, especially at £70 for one night.

Warm and comfortable bed ,
