Nice, good price for centre stay .
Just a brief solo stay to attend show at The Apex. Which is a short walk away. Also close to shops etc. It was clean, comfortable & had what I needed no frills. It is pub so there was noise but no issues for me. Nice English Breakfast 8.30am only choice.

Had a great 2 nights stay here room was big enough and clean. A little warm but there was a fan in the room. The pair running it had only been in there 6weeks so happy with the feedback. Pub very spit and sawdust but l like that not many left but was clean, well stocked bar and seating area was nice as warm evenings. Breakfast was fab both mornings. Will stay there again definitely ✨✨✨✨✨

I have stayed here many times and will continue to do so on my visits to friends and family in Bury St Edmunds. A special mention for Chris who has taken over the running of Westgate. He certainly enhanced the comfort and enjoyment of my weekend there; with his welcoming and most professional attitude to all his guests.

Just reopening with newly refreshed public areas.
Pub with rooms is under new ownership who are refurbishing so bar etc were all closed when I was there. Room is basic , clean but very tired and needs a refresh relative to this century. Apparently will not do food when open and breakfast unusually is at 8.30 am. I wish good luck to new managers and hope they quickly start work on everything else.

A pub with character, clean, helpful staff, bathroom facilities could do with being updated, new management was taking over, a few teething problems but expected, all ready booked a room for next year and I've recommended it to others.

Good value for money
Really good value for money, Chris was great and really helpful, the pub was nice and cosy and the room was perfect for what we wanted, which was somewhere to sleep and shower as we had plans for the weekend, would definitely stay there again

6/10 Good

The staff were helpful, but it was not until I had parked someway away in a long stay car park did I find out there was parking accessed from the road behind. By then it was too late to move the car. I was asked what breakfast I wanted and spot on time it was at my table and very good it was. The noise from the pub could be heard in the room until mid-night when they closed up. On the day I was there they were not doing meals in the evening.
