When we arrived we were booked into a room that was underneath the reception. I found it strange that we were asked for out money up front. We paid 110 Pounds for two adults and 3 young children under 5. On walking to the room we noticed an obnoxious smell, It was so bad that we had to hold our... more

The room was very pleasant - like the rest of the hotel, it was spotlessly clean, neatly decorated and comfortable. Light and airy with curtains and window open, it was snug and quiet when they were closed. The immediate view of the untidy car park led to a better distant view of countryside beyond the town's bypass (which was not... more

I stayed at the hotel over bank holiday weekend and for how much i paid for the room i expected it to bealot better. When me and my partner first entered the room there was a strong sick smell which had been attempted to be masked by air freshner-the window was wide open presumably to get rid of the sick... more

We made a late booking for two nights. Booked off independant web site as cheaper.

However, the room we were allocated was directly above the restaurant, as are numerous other... more

Sat on the wooden decking at the rear of the hotel, on a beautiful spring morning, I have decided to tell you about my stay at the Ivy Bush Hotel. We all have different opinions, perceptions and standards and I will try and give a balanced view. The Hotel has a very friendly feel to it and the reception staff... more

We stayed at The Ivy Bush overnight on a Friday. We checked in late which was painless, and had an inclusive delicious hearty breakfast. We needed to check out later as we had a wedding we needed to get ready for, and they were more than happy to help, and didn't charge us at all. The hotel is very central,... more

I stayed in this hotel for 3 consequtive years on business. I stayed in refurbished rooms on each occasion & found them nice, clean & comfortable. Apparently all the rooms have now been done. The service is not bad they are mainly eastern europeans but always happy to help. I would have no reservations in staying there again. more
