8/10 Very good

Room was clean , bed was very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Very good all round . Could do with a little updating. Very close to the town centre.
Donna, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect place for a solo traveller on a budget. Fresh white linen and big, big bath sheet that was fluffy and white. Left alone to relax with my breakfast which was a lovely full English
Anne-Marie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Had to find parking a couple of streets away. Clean room and bathroom. TV was annoying to operate and poor sound. Plenty of teabags etc in the room, something that many places are stingy with. Breakfast was fab. Only one choice, full breakfast, but it was really good. Huge pot of coffee. Very happy with my stay.

One night stop over

A good one night stay in Bury. The pub was excellently location in the centre with free parking.

6/10 Good

Room was quirky! The single bed was higher off the ground than you'd expect because a normal bed clearly would not fit in the space. It was adapted to go over some boxed in pipe works. Bedding was lovely and clean as were the towels. Shower/loo clean but there was a small leak from the pedestal basin. The heated towel rail did not heat and shows signs of being overdue for replacement. TV will only turn on or off using the SKY remote control. You cannot change channels so it's BBC1 or nothing. Breakfast was genuinely great. This is an old pub in an old town run by, what appears to be, one very hard working gent. Make allowances for the overall appearance of the place and you will be fine.

The room was ok for one night. Staff nice. Also good location. Breakfast time was late (8.30 am) for a normal working day so not very convenient for people travelling for work/business.

4/10 Fair

Pub is quite run down. Didn't fancy the food Room was clean but really basic. Telly was a tiny thing and was broken. Shower head was leaking. One of the single beds was shortened to fit the room.

8/10 Very good

Stayed one night. Clean and comfortable. Landlord and manager very attentive and welcoming. Excellent traditional english breakfast. The pub itself is a proper drinkers pub so expect lively clientele in the bar. Would stay again.
Roger, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Westgate was easy to find and there was parking around the back of the pub as the town seems to have limited parking. The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was lovely. The location is a 5 minute walk to the shops .
