Nelson and Railway Inn

What a fabulous place to stay! It’s a 400 year old inn and the charming character of the place has been kept with cozy individual rooms in the downstairs part of the inn The bedroom we stayed in was spacious with en suite and a king size bed. We had one of the best night’s sleep we’ve had for a long one onthe super-comfy mattress . The staff were very welcoming and the food was excellent. I thoroughly recommend this inn if ever you’re up this way.

Rooms could do with a bit of modernising and the annoying green light in the room at night was a bit ridiculous - but given the price point, excellent value for money. Decent cooked breakfast and coffee, generally clean rooms (a bit of mould but nothing crazy) and welcoming staff.

Where do I start. No remote for the TV but they knew about it and still gave me the room. Their solution? Turn on the TV using the buttons. Yeah all good but what about changing channels. Nowhere to hang clothes. The WiFi was a complete waste of time . Don't get me started on the breakfast. No menu but asked what I'd like. No apple juice for a pub? Will definitely give this a wide berth.

Our stay was very comfortable. The rooms were clean and warm. The facilities very good and served our purpose perfectly. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Lovely place if you love old, traditional and family like feeling. Very clean and comfortable. Totally in love with the place

The host and hostess were friendly and made us welcome. The food was excellent and portions generous. Out room was adequate and bed extremely comfortable.We would be happy to stay again. Peter and Lorna.

The staff weren't anticipating our arrival, however, this was swiftly sorted. The car park is well sign posted but a little tricky to navigate in the dark. Room 7 was a good sized room with a queen size bed, but there was only one bed side table, this was annoying as we were allowed to take drinks from the bar to the room and there wasn't an adequate place to put them without bothering your companion. The tiny TV had no remote and the cups for the teas and coffee were absolutely revolting, also the kettle wasn't in the best of conditions. The shower was tepid and the water in the basin was scolding. There were patches of black mould around the bath. Other than that the bathroom was relatively clean. The tiny sachets of shower gel weren't practical as once wet they were difficult to open. On getting into bed the white linen was clean and fresh, the scatter cushions in contrast were dirty and had what could only be described as make-up, foundation I am guessing, smudged on them. Once the lights were off, the room was bathed in green light making it very difficult to sleep. I think I saw every hour of the night. The plus point being the bed was kind of comfortable and the sheets were clean. There was a strong smell of bleach on arrival to the dining room in the morning, so i guess the toilets are clean. The service at breakfast was confusing. We were told on arrival we could come down and help ourselves. However, there was nothing to help yourselves to accept a table.

Two night stay, visiting family. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Lovely breakfast and offered pack up for journey home, but we didn’t need one. Very comfy bed, nice and quiet.

Food and service great. Not so sure about the bright green light in the rooms. It’s like being in an alien ship
