Booked on behalf of friends who said it was good for their needs and would stay again...
Pros:

I made booking for several friends but did not stay myself... However, everyone who stayed said it was a good base for the night and that they would stay again in a similar situation

Cons:

Only thing they mentioned was room size on the 'cozy' side and noise from trains but nothing overly critical.

Staff were friendly and helpful but room really quite inadequate
Pros:

Its location

Cons:

We were in a room that is on a list for refurb and the en-suite was up a flight of stairs.

Excellent two days. Would return if I am in the area.
Pros:

The room was comfortable and clean. Indeed it smelt as if it had recent;y been refurbished! Although the restaurant was quiet, the meal was well cooked and presented. Breakfast is pre-ordered, and cooked freshly rather then a typical hotel buffet breakfast. This makes the experience so much more enjoyable. also, if you do not order everything available on the breakfast menu, the Chef will include extra portions of what has been ordered to make up the value.

Cons:

The Hotel is an old Coaching Inn. Facilities for those less mobile are, at best limited, and for the disabled almost non-existent. This is not a criticism of the Hotel, but in an old Coaching Inn the scope for accommodating alterations to help is limited.

"You pays your money, you takes your choice!".
Pros:

Right in the centre of the small town.
Free parking on site

Cons:

Not so much "didn't like" but more of the realisation that the hotel is tired. It needs a refurb but I don't doubt there isn't the budget to do it.
Breakfast functional.
That said, it served our needs for the night.
"You pays your money, you takes your choice.......!".

Really unpleasant and unfriendly owners
Pros:

Not applicable I didn’t stay

Cons:

No one at the front desk when I arrived
I went to the pub to ask if I could check in and they laughed because I was early
I asked if I could use the room early to change and they said only if I do an early check in and pay an extra £15
I was not prepared to do this and didn’t like the atmosphere so I requested a cancellation but they denied it

Ideally located hotel
Pros:

Centrally located hotel, one stop from Goring and just a few minutes walk from the train station.

Cons:

The room was like a furnace! Admittedly stayed the hottest weekend of the year and even with the desk fan on, still incredibly hot.
