I had a fantastic stay at Railways Inn. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. The room was spotless, comfortable, and well-kept, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The location was convenient, with shops and transport links nearby, making it easy to get around. Overall, it was a perfect experience and I’d highly recommend Railways Inn to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and friendly place to stay. Definitely a 10/10. I defintifh looking forward to comeback again.

Bargain Digs with A Host who cares

No frills accommodation but perfectly equipped for a short stay. Room share a bathroom on a 1:3 ratio approximately and this wasnt an issue for my stay. Host is lovely and very attentitive. These rooms suitable contractors or anyone looking for a solid base to visit the nearby area. Walking distance to local shop, pub and a few chinese takeaways. Area is quiet, bar the seagulls, but for me the rooms are perfect. Clean, tidy and everything you would need. Multiple improvements still ongoing in the venue, but these are all behind the scene and do not affect your stay. Nice large shared kitchen area to cook and eat your own meals.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Host is lovey. This is an old pub that’s being converted into various rooms on the top 2 floors. Bathrooms are not on-suite however their are adequate facilities to be shared amongst the rooms so this wasn’t an issue for me. Value for money is second to none. The rooms are clean, tidy and spacious enough for 1-2 travellers. Downstairs their is a kitchen and eating area (multiple booths) so you can prepare and cook your own food. Not much to do in the area, with a pub nearby and some local convenience shops and takeaways around 5 minutes drive away. Perfect stop for any contractors working in the area, or anyone looking for a base whilst doing local walks and hiking. For what you pay per night it’s a bargain and the host is really trying to get things ready for the future when this will no doubt be a mainstay for visitors looking for affordable accommodation in the Leven area.

Appears to be used as a hostel with men living there. Two young men managing the place were very, very polite & respectful. The owner is responsible for the facilities or lack of. Poorly decorated & basic. More a halfway house than hotel!! Not recommended for a lone female traveller.
