The Romany Rye Wetherspoon

Stayed for a night as in the area. No parking, but there is a big free car park only a couple of minutes walk away so not a problem. Room was a reasonable size, clean, comfy bed, well stocked coffee and tea, water bottles and biscuits were a nice touch too. No noise from the pub downstairs and not far to go for breakfast! A great stay for the price.

The Romany Rye was clean and comfortable. The room was fairly spacious, the bed was very comfortable, and the hotel was conveniently located near the bus stop. It is attached to a Wetherspoons restaurant which was also convenient. Surprisingly, we heard no noise from the restaurant itself but were awaken in the early morning by a nearby party. The only complaint was that the toilet would intermittently not flush so probably needs to be fixed. But other than that, we would recommend this hotel.

Very nice, comfortable stay. Really friendly, supportive, professional staff. Good selection of food and drinks. Good clean quiet comfortable room. Safe accessible parking about 50 yards from the hotel, via the Queen Mother Garden

What an interesting disaster, first day arrive arriving in the evening around about 8:30. We only booked this hotel, thinking it was a family friendly hotel. Wow it is anything but, if you have small children they have no Lift everything is stair based. Staff made us feel as if we were vermin with our children lots of eye rolling and rudeness.. we were told after a three hour journey, we had less than 20 minutes to order food for the babies so they could eat otherwise we'd have to take it all up to our room. This was not stated on the website. The only good thing was that the hotel rooms are clean that was it. Breakfast this morning. We were met with rolling, eyes, rude staff and it made our experience awful to say that we are disappointed isn't understatement.

This was our second stay here and memories of the first stay came flooding back. The room itself was a good size but in comparison the bathroom is small and dated. The water pressure is shocking. Something we'd forgotten and assumed was a one off last time but apparently not. The water starts off fine and then resorts to a drizzle. Particularly frustrating when having a shower as it makes the process incredibly slow having to stop and wait for the pressure to increase. Also the shower head was stuck in jet mode so when there was water pressure it was like having a pressure wash and was almost painful then it would change to a trickle. Also the bedside lamp didn't work and the toilet kept running after flushing. On a positive, the staff were friendly, check in was easy. The room was clean and there's drink making facilities in the room along with bottled water and biscuits. Parking wise it's free outside after 6pm and on Sundays but there's limited space.

We stayed at the Romany Rye for one night in May 2023, while visiting the town. The Wetherspoons pub is pretty standard for one of these places, we ate breakfast there and the staff were pretty efficient and the food came out relatively quickly and very hot, so no complaints there. The hotel entrance is within the pub and there is no reception to speak of, you just have to ask one of the bar staff to check you in. The hotel was clean and room was well presented with plenty of coffee, tea, water etc. Room windows managed to keep out most of the noise from revellers as well as the local church bells which were ringing early on Sunday morning! The shower is attached to the wall in the bathroom and the pressure isn't great unfortunately. Also the bed in our room was possibly the smallest and hardest bed I have ever slept on! Whilst I am not unfamiliar with firm beds, this one was like a slab of concrete! Overall, the place was fine for a night away but the room was not particularly comfortable.
