My thoughts on the Railway Welcome, Kate was the first person I met and checked me in. The process was simple and warm. The bar was spotless with good attention to hygiene; Kate took time to make sure my check in was smooth and explained times for the breakfast sitting as I would miss this due to an early course. If I miss breakfast, they lay on a full continental, not my fist choice but a welcomed gesture and appreciated. I was surprised with the selection offered, fresh fruit, branded cereal, fresh milk, water, microwave, tea, coffee fantastic presentation.
The room: I opted for the cheapest but was surprised at the size condiments in shower room and size. Albeit near a railway line the sleep was 100%. The shower room had a vast complimentary (bits as a man) I didn’t use them) but nice to see.
The Bar and food: Again, so happy with the service of all staff, Kate was great as where the team (including the trainee) From arrival I was able to open a tab without presenting a debit card wonderful trust feeling. I ordered “fish & chips” this was fresh delivered fast on a warm plate attention was 100% as was the food, and a massive serving. The menu was extensive.
I stay in many low-cost establishments due to work; the Railway Taven is the best by far on all fronts. 100% recommended. Keep up the good work I will be coming back, great venue.
100% stay here again thank you so much.

Lovely room, great service and amenities. Very good value for money. You’d pay double in other parts of the country for this standard of B&B
