Cosy little hotel

The room was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Not too far to walk to the town hall where we were watching a show. The service we received was great but the breakfast was disappointing.

Would recommend and stay again

Really good location, room was a good size and clean, breakfast was lovely and they accommodated gluten and dairy free intolerances. Parking free on the street outside and enjoyed being so close to the canal for walks, which were lovely.

Great time at the Railway

Hotel was small and compact. Everything about it was great. The breakfast chef made the effort to get to know our breakfast order and was able to remember this throughout our stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Bathroom was compact but contained everything we needed. The pub was lovely and welcoming.
