One night stop over

A good one night stay in Bury. The pub was excellently location in the centre with free parking.

6/10 Good

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.

Bury st edmonds Beer festival visit

Room was small , bed high but comfortable , tv was quite good plenty of channels , plenty of tea / coffee available , toilet and shower area ok , on the bad side i paid for a breakfast to be told i had to get up for 7.30 to have it due to traders / workers needing a early start ! , i declined getting up for that reason , quite a noisy pub lots of door slamming from 6.30 am onwards , and something was running like a extraction fan all night outside my window until the early hours of the morning , but i slept reasonably well . Did,nt see much of the host , but i went to the b/festival most of the day and returned after the pub had shut did,nt see anyone when i left at 9.50 am , left the key on the table by the hallway door , for b.s Edmunds its cheaper than most b&b,s but compared to the one i stayed in the night before , for £13 more and a room 3 times the size a double bed and breakfast in bed and more upto date , greene king you need to improve your game .

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 .

4/10 Fair

The room was fine unfortunately it overlooked the pub courtyard where people were singing and shouting til approx 1230am. Also an external fan which was situated near the room was running all night. Due to it being a very hot night we needed the windows open. Resulting in very little sleep.

We enjoyed our overnight stay at The Westgate and would happily stay again. Centrally located and lots to see in the local area.

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.

Basic but convenient

I was just in town for the evening and a basic room was all I needed. This place fit the bill. You get what you pay for. Will probably stay again next time I am in the area.

Good value for money

Really good value for money, Chris was great and really helpful, the pub was nice and cosy and the room was perfect for what we wanted, which was somewhere to sleep and shower as we had plans for the weekend, would definitely stay there again

8/10 Very good

I stayed in room 1: it is very compact but the bed was very comfortable and the room was just the right temperature. There was noise from a boiler I think but after a short while, I didn't notice it. The Full English breakfast was delicious. A great value place to stay!
Michael, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Okay.

It was a room above a small pub. Very good breakfast, decor from 1985, tea and coffee not replenished, no teaspoon. Bedroom clean and comfortable. Overpriced.

8/10 Very good

Nice, good price for centre stay .

Just a brief solo stay to attend show at The Apex. Which is a short walk away. Also close to shops etc. It was clean, comfortable & had what I needed no frills. It is pub so there was noise but no issues for me. Nice English Breakfast 8.30am only choice.
