Husband not impressed
Cons:

Lack of things like something to rinse your mouth with or have water with overnight. No spare toilet paper nowhere to put wash bags nowhere to hang coat or towels only a trickle of water in the shower

Dog-friendly and Popular Pub with Rooms
Pros:

Interesting - and historic - building next to the parish church. It was buzzing with activity over the Easter weekend, with a programme of music attracting locals and others. Our bedroom (No 6 on the first floor) was wonderfully wonky, but comfortable and it had every5ing we wanted. The en-suite shower room was large and well-equipped. Regardless of the live - and loud - music in the bar, we couldn’t hear a thing in our bedroom. We parked on the road opposite (free for two hours and between 6pm and 8am); there is also free parking in the courtyard. Supper was good, especially the delicious apple crumble and custard plus cream. The chef was absent (unwell) the next morning, but the limited menu was okay; we would have welcomed a second cup of coffee, though. Good walks for our dog from the doorstep.

Perfect for what we needed!
Pros:

Lovely pub, rooms were great, clean and hosts were fab! Breakfast was superb!

Cons:

Very creaky but is an old building.
Toilet did let off a bad smell once flushed (probably will need looking at) but we kept the window open and it wasn’t an issue.

A grubby and unwelcoming place!
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Claimed to have parking, it may have, but for no more than a couple of small cars! Generally grubby and everything is worn out, broken and / or cheap. The curtains in my room were on the floor upon arrival, including the rail. Bathroom was not particularly clean. The evening staff were not friendly or welcoming.

Needed a pet friendly hotel for our overnight and this was only one in town. Although reasonably satisfied thought it ov
Pros:

The food was good. Freshly cooked breakfast. Comfortable bed in decent bedroom. Staff very friendly. Pet friendly.

Cons:

The shower room was tight due to age of property and the power assistance required for the plumbing noisy. Unfortunately we had to eat in a side room due to an evening event alongside paint pots, stored chairs and outdoor signs.

Could be better for the price
Pros:

Good breakfast
view over churchyard
car parking
Good evening meal
ample food on the plate for a reasonable price

Cons:

Very uncomfortable bed.
After 10 minutes of running the tap, there was still no hot water for a shower.
Had the bedroom window open at night as it was a warm room but the through traffic started very early. With the church bells not my best stay over for business meetings.
