The pub that I stayed in for the night, was very cozy. the bedroom was clean and the bed was comfortable. Central to the center of town 2 min walk, the staff at the westgate pub were friendly and they cooked a very nice breakfast in the morning. the westgate is perfect for a one night stop over.

Pub is quite run down. Didn't fancy the food Room was clean but really basic. Telly was a tiny thing and was broken. Shower head was leaking. One of the single beds was shortened to fit the room.

Bury st edmonds Beer festival visit

8.0

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 .

The room was dirty. Draws filled with rubbish from previous stayer. The bed was used that much you couldn't sleep without rolling into the middle again almost a v shape! Sheets smelt foisty. Breakfast was at 830!? That's it. So when you are working, which I was, this was a struggle. First day extractor fan wasn't working so had a knock on the door, "sorry the extractor fans not working so no breakfast, here's a 10er for something". The landlord was pleasant enough however they just shouldn't have a b and b above as there is clearly no knowledge of how a room should be kept or presented. The actual positioning is great and it cost 170 for 2 nights, which I understand is fairly cheap, however cleanliness is a must and a bit of air freshener or something would've helped too. Oh, and a clean bed. All in all id pass on this one, I stopped in the bushel the week before and there was no comparison. And pretty much the same cost! Book the bushel for being central and swerve this one!!! Unless you want the Fawlty towers experience 👍
