Our favorite, out of 6 stays at various hotels and Airbnbs during our vacation.
Pros:

Room was ready so we checked in earlier than expected. Room was spacious with large, fluffy bath towels. Had air conditioning, although not needed for our stay. Staff member gave us local recommendations, very helpful for planning. Breakfast and Dinner, both were delicious and relaxing. Very popular with lunch crowd. Loved the rural location and friendly pub "vibe." Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend.

Cons:

Bathroom was lovely but was missing shampoo. Conditioner, facial tissues and a wash/face cloth would be appreciated. Toilet tank was actively leaking and was reported to staff who acted immediately.

Friendly location, popular with locals, good home made good.
Pros:

Friendly local pub, excellent food (very generous portions), reasonably priced. Good atmosphere, used by locals, lovely helpful bar maid Lizzy.

Plenty of parking. Would stay again/recommend.

Cons:

The room just seemed a little stark on first impressions. The bathroom sink tap was too hot (and turned the reverse way), the bath screen was a bit black on the outer rim. Toby was extremely helpful but in his keenness to serve sometimes the breakfast would arrive too soon, whilst you were eating your cereal (just a minor issue resolved by training). I appreciate that it was delivered hot probably just ordered too soon.

Pros:

Lovely pub a little on the expensive side for drinks , rooms comfortable got everything you need in them 😀 bathroom could do with a bit of tlc , breakfast wasn't the best eggs a bit undercooked runny whites , fruit bowl was past its best fruit flys comming from it no choice of smoked or unsmoked bacon not everyone likes smoked and for a extra £15 ppl added to room cost wasn't very impressive
