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 The rooms are a little outdated but clean and comfortable.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.

The hotel looked very smart and comfortable in the reception lounge and bar however I thought the room we had was not very clean, the bed was comfortable , draughty windows and in one corridor there was an open window that could not be closed having no catch! The breakfast was good though and the staff pleasant

We stayed the night, there was running water noises that kept us up, we then moved rooms how ever when we moved rooms the night porter asked us to take a drink man back to his room, this drunk man had blood running from his head. The new room then had knocking all night and a shower that was just a dribble The whole hotel as a whole is very very dated and a mess I’ve emailed the hotel and asked for a refund but they are unresponsive - this is not acceptable

Easy to find and park, welcome at reception, located very close to shops, restaurants, bars etc. Had a good night's sleep and breakfast was tasty. Main areas of hotel well appointed, clean and modern. Room was a little dated and tired looking. Outside on street hotel looked scruffy.

I would not recommend this hotel.
Lady on reception was very welcoming. Check in was smooth. However, was called back as their system wasn’t working. My room was down graded from a queen size bed to a standard double bed. No manager on site to help. Room is so out dated, carpets are stained and dirty, mould in bathroom, bed was very uncomfortable. No fan in room. A lot of Mosquitos in the room and bathroom. Photos on website are from over 10 years ago. They do not have a gym as per their website. Definitely try to avoid staying here. The only good thing is they have a big car park.

Room in need of some tlc
I've stayed here before and don't remember having a room (217) as poor as this one. Whilst the bed and pillows and desk area was fine, the carpet was almost worn out and the water pressure in the shower was pretty much a dribble. Turn the shower head upside down and the water all but stopped. However, the barman was good, waitresses good, evening meal was very nice as was breakfast.
