6/10 Good

One night at the Railway Inn

This was a basic hotel with basic pub grub. Very uncomfortable pillows and I had a terrible night as my room was so noisy. It is right on the railway station, and although the trains were not such an issue with a room at the back, the main road most certainly was! I hardly had any sleep. The breakfast was measly. On the plus side, the staff were lovely and the landlady Pauline was very kind and accomodating above and beyond.

10/10 Exceptional

Very comfortable, clean with a nice shower. A very good breakfast. A train spotters dream with the accommodation right next to the platform.
