Pros:

We booked on the day following an unavoidable cancellation by the Inn had intended to stay at. We were made very welcome on a cold wet Feb Fri when frankly it must have been tempting to decline our booking on an otherwise quiet day. Attentive staff. Great breakfast. Thank you.

GREAT LOCATION STAFF EXCELLENT
Pros:

THE HOTEL IS IN A LOVELY LOCATION WITH EASY PARKING. THE STAFF ARE EXCELLENT AND VERY HELPFUL. THE FACILITIES ARE ADEQUATE FOR THE PRICE RANGE. BREAKFAST WAS A LITTLE DISAPPOINTING, NOT VERY WARM. DINNER WAS FROM A GOOD SELECTION AND REASONABLY PRICED.
NOT TOO BUSY WHEN WE STAYED.

Cons:

CONSIDERING THE HOTEL WAS NOT TOO BUSY BREAKFAST WAS DISAPPOINTING. ARRIVED QUICKLY SO ALL PRE COOKED. NOT VERY WARM.

What could have been a good stay ruined by inadequate or faulty room heating.
Pros:

Staff were good and food was fine

Cons:

When we arrived in the early evening the room was cold. What little heat was in the radiator was totally inadequate. Turned the heating adjustment up to 5 and went for dinner - upon returning to the room found the radiator totally cold. Complained to the barman who rang back and said the owners had agreed to put the heating on! However radiator still only got slightly warm. There were only 2 other rooms occupied in the separate hotel section.
A dreadful nights sleep ensued..
In hindsight should have asked for our money back and gone somewhere else.

Does the job, but not a first choice of place to stay
Pros:

The location is useful which is why I stayed here, and my normal venue was fully booked. The car parking is good and it's quiet here.

Cons:

I had a single bed in a fairly small room which is quite tired, but clean. The wifi never works here which is a problem when I am there for work,
