Some guests mention noise from nearby trains or the pub areas, and a few report impersonal or awkward check-in arrangements.

I presented myself to the bar at check-in and was ignored by two members of staff! I was eventually shown to the room by a third staff member. The room was a mismatch of different furniture and styles which was strange. Bathroom served it purpose and was clean but very poor water pressure in shower and hand basin. Bed was extremely comfortable and the buffet continental breakfast,water, tea and coffee was excellent and done really well! Big problems was noise. I selected the room with a garden view which overlooked the garden and then onto fields, however it was a hot day and I was kept awake by noisy people in the pub garden and then woken early by the noise of the pub kitchen extractor fans turning on when the pub opened for breakfast. Overall the noise was not a major problem and I could live with that . I was upset and annoyed by the check-in experience with staff ignoring me and for that reason I felt very uncomfortable and will not return

We were made to feel very welcome. The room was well equipped but had character. Continental breakfast was available or a cooked breakfast could be ordered. We ate our evening meal in the pub. We were well looked after. The menu was more than traditional pub fare with plenty of specials. The portions were generous, attractively served and delicious. We would definitely stay again.

The front room we had at the B&B was very noisy all night. There's a level crossing with trains only 50 metres away. What sounded like a drayman arrived at 10pm. Road noise was a disturbance and then at 2am we were awakened by what sounded like ballast trucks unloading. We didn't get up to investigate quite was going on, but I wondered if night trackwork had commenced. We ate in the restaurant and my Haddock, chunky chips and peas hit the spot. My wife's choice of burger didn't, the bun looked undersized, containing a small Pattie with a little pulled meat on top with a thin slice of cheese. The chips were skinny with no pulp to them, in fact close to unedible. The accompanying coleslaw and salad was the best part. So all in all not a great experience at the Railway, Westerfield.
