Excellent for an overnight stopover and would happily stay again.
Pros:

Room was spotless and comfortable. Quite small but perfectly fine for an overnight. Dinner was good value and well cooked standard fare. Breakfast was good with a buffet continental selection and an individually cooked hot breakfast, ingredients for the cooked breakfast were excellent.

Cons:

There is no lounge seating area for guests, only the pub part and the restaurant which somewhat confined you to your room.
Alcohol prices were very expensive for the standard of hotel.
