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 The rooms are a little outdated but clean and comfortable.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

Very tired old hotel with creeking floors and outdated rooms. Noisy and couldn't get good sleep. I had asked for a normal double room but was given a disabled one. The ceiling in the bathroom was broken and just did not feel totally clean. Overall, very disappointed The only positive is the staff lady at breakfast room who was polite and friendly.
