The Ivy Bush Royal Hotel By Compass Hospitality

Ease of access to and from the hotel, no winding around town centre streets to get in and out, although only 5 minutes walk from the centre

The room was perfectly good, clean and comfortable. Reception staff helpful. Handy central location for town, and large private car park.

Breakfast was a bit of a shambles. There were a large number of elderly guests staying there when I stayed, so the breakfast staff were quite busy. However, I had to ask several times for coffee and toast. I'm a vegetarian too, so asked for sacrambled eggs. They were happy to do this for me, but about 10 minutes later, a waiter brought out scrambled eggs, dumped them on a nearby table ( a man who also had a beard like me, but no other similarity!) and left. I had to go and retrieve them myself. It was all okay as I wasn't in a particular hurry that morning but if you have to get off for a meeting, it might be a bit frustrating!
