“The Ivy House strikes me as a proper, old-fashioned English inn, over 250 years old, with a few quirks; I imagine families would appreciate the spacious gardens and baby changing facilities. It's a shame some recent reports suggest they're not quite keeping up with standards, especially regarding cleanliness and service, which could detract from the experience; personally, I think they need to address these issues to truly shine. Still, the community engagement, live music, and open mic nights hint at a vibrant local hub.”

a decent overnight stay

great vibe friendly staff portable air conditioner small room road noise black mould

this place has a great vibe especially with the vine-covered outside area. i loved the decor and the staff were friendly and cute. the room was lovely, and they had opened the window and put in a portable air conditioner.

the room was quite small and subject to road noise. i know this is inevitable on that road, but it didn't contribute to a good experience. the bathroom was outdated and there was a lot of black mould in the shower and across the ceiling.

An Okay Stay, But Could Be Better

metal bed frame unattentive staff

The room felt quite cramped. It included a metal bed frame and this thing creaked with every move I made. I could hear everything happening around me. the staff seemed more into talking among themselves than helping the guests.
