Nelson and Railway Inn

Rooms clean could do with a bit of freshening up, food good and staff excellent, enjoyed our stay.

Overall a great place to stay - an old pub and hotel so ‘quirky’ and that suited us. Friendly staff, great breakfast. Didn’t eat in restaurant so no comment. Bed comfortable, but room lacked clothes storage for a long stay. Ended up with 3 rooms instead of the two booked (no extra cost) because of a broken lock, but that made our stay better. Staff were really helpful. No instructions in the room so couldn’t work the internet or the television but was only there for two nights and visiting family so didn’t spend much time there to worry - no doubt the staff could have explained. Some issues with maintenance, but again all part of staying in a reasonable, well priced, and old pub/hotel. Travel and access easy and plenty of parking. Main comment - we enjoyed our stay, it was ideal for our needs and will use the again.

Lovely spacious room, friendly staff.

Tv didn’t work. WiFi didn’t work in rooms No cupboard to hang clothes Had to change rooms

Friendly staff. Easy to check in. Bedroom was spacious. 2 single comfy beds. Bathroom ok but could have had a spruce up as the decor was a bit tired. As we had to check out before breakfast we were each given a packed lunch which was really appreciated. Nice bar and outside seating area. Would consider booking here again should I be in the area.

On arrival we were dealt with promptly but rushed. Room was tired and some bits of the decor needed attention. However it was clean and functional. Filling the kettle was awkward as it wouldn’t fit under the tap. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was excellent and the staff very friendly.

Really nice friendly pub. We’ve had a drink here before but this was our first time staying. Nice spacious room, friendly staff and a delicious cooked breakfast.

Plenty of parking, adequate room although it could do with a spruce up. Bathroom was a bit tatty with wood rot on the window frame due to shower being next to it. Poor breakfast. (No vegetarian option) just a ‘normal’ breakfast without sausage or bacon. Instant coffee and cartons of milk rather than real coffee. Staff friendly enough though. Probably would find somewhere else next time.

Staff were very friendly and breakfast was nice. Nice pub that seems popular and I had dinner which was also very good and good value. Room location was way away from the pub so even though it was loud I couldnt hear it from the room which was better than other pubs I've stayed at. However TV didnt work and nor did wifi in the room. The 'double' bed was 2 twins pushed together and you could really feel it. Couldnt open windows. It wasnt too hot so was okay but must be a furnace when it hits the high 20s. Breakfast was nice but you're put right next to the kitchen and can hear them quite loud and in and out of the swinging door. Quite a strong smell of bleach or line cleaner in the morning which i read on other reviews. Fine for oncle night but wouldn't personally stay for more than that.

Good stop over, excellent service,good night sleep. Shower cubicle very small,excellent breakfast. With very friendly staff. Would stay again good value for money. 👍

Fantastic stay clean room polite staff great breakfast a true gem

Clean and friendly

Spacious clean room with fresh air and natural light. I had a quiet and comfortable stay. They cooked fresh breakfast everyday with table service. As a vegetarian they catered to my dietary preferences. The dinner served in the pub was excellent too. Staff were friendly and welcoming, hassle free check in and check out. The place felt safe, convenient and is in a great location. Even the locals and other guests that I met during my stay there were friendly. The only negative thing is that the bathroom needs some work done. Although it was clean and functioning, the sink taps were dripping, shower tap was hard to stop. Tiles around the bathroom were loose, the window frame wood paint has come off and is exposed to water from the shower.

Tired place to sleep pub bit ok

Slightly dated and requires some improvements in decor and shuts breakfast early at 9.00am. Staff were polite and were friendly. Shower in our room was good but furnishings a little outdated and bathroom window does not open causing some mould, tap dripped in sink. Breakfast was anverage and evening food was lovely.

On check in we got told the kitchen closed at 20:00. We went to order food at 19:55 a bit last minute. The barmaid told us the kitchen was closed and we could only have a chip butty we accepted this and sat down with a drink. 20 minutes later the same barmaid served a couple with a full menu and was very rude when challenged on this. I stay in this place a lot but I don't think I will again. This woman should not be in a customer facing role.

Initial problem with check in was rectified by staff. Facility was clean and well run. Overall a pleasant experience

Original 19th century Inn. Full of character and charm. Smallish room, but big modern ensuite and comfortable bed. Great meals downstairs, friendly staff and customers. No lift, but we had fun getting our suitcases up the stairs. Would stay here again.

We’ve stayed here a few times before and post Covid and sadly it has seen better times.
