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.

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.

Clean, spacious and nicely decorated room. The Railway is excellent if you are using public transport as it is 10 minutes from the train station and 5 minutes to the bus station and town. The breakfast was very good and freshly cooked to order
