denise, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed at the Ivy Bush many times, this time for a bargain price of £58 per couple (including breakfast). The rooms are a little outdated but clean and comfortable. The staff are attentive, even during a busy Xmas party weekend. The breakfast was plentiful and the car park was free. Will certainly be returning.

4/10 Fair

Disappointing tired old hotel

Very tired old hotel with creeking floors and outdated rooms. Noisy and couldn't get good sleep. I had asked for a normal double room but was given a disabled one. The ceiling in the bathroom was broken and just did not feel totally clean. Overall, very disappointed The only positive is the staff lady at breakfast room who was polite and friendly.

6/10 Good

The staff & the food are great, really are. Unfortunately the hotel interior/ rooms are in need of a makeover. Some work on the cosmetics would improve the hotel greatly.
