The front room we had at the B&B was very noisy all night. There's a level crossing with trains only 50 metres away. What sounded like a drayman arrived at 10pm. Road noise was a disturbance and then at 2am we were awakened by what sounded like ballast trucks unloading. We didn't get up to investigate quite was going on, but I wondered if night trackwork had commenced.
We ate in the restaurant and my Haddock, chunky chips and peas hit the spot. My wife's choice of burger didn't, the bun looked undersized, containing a small Pattie with a little pulled meat on top with a thin slice of cheese. The chips were skinny with no pulp to them, in fact close to unedible. The accompanying coleslaw and salad was the best part. So all in all not a great experience at the Railway, Westerfield.

Good value
This was our 3rd (or 4th) stay here as part of a trip to see family. The rooms are clean and comfortable and there’s a good food offering if you chose to eat here too. Good value and friendly.
