The Railway Inn

We stayed here for one night and had an evening meal. Immediately on arrival we had to order breakfast, not just cooked vs. continental but in detail, never before have I been asked what cereal I want in advance. More importantly we were told that the pub closed at 10/10.30 and didn't open again until 7.30am, if we had been told that in advance we would never have booked. I'm 69 and not in the best of health but still don't welcome an enforced 10pm bedtime. My room was very hot on arrival so I turned the radiator off and opened a window. On returning at 10pm the heating had been turned off centrally so I was cold all night. The evening meal was good and in contrast to the owner's cold and aloof demeanor the waitress was warm and helpful. Breakfast was poor, continental consisted of cereal and toast or croissants (which were microwaved, so soggy), the coffee was tasteless. The shower was very good.

Brilliant, friendly and a comfortable place the stay. The staff were helpful and friendly and the food is top notch! Recommend the award winning pie! We will certainly be back next time we are passing.

The Railway Inn is in a fairly isolated position, but for those who like the peace and tranquillity, it is perfect. Alice the owner, will give you a friendly greeting. There are only 5 bedrooms, so everything is nice and cosy. There is a comfortable lounge/bar downstairs and a thriving restaurant. The food produced by Alice is absolutely superb. Personally, I love this type of hotel, as it is quaint and unique. I will certainly make future bookings at The Railway - much preferred over large national chains!
