Just lacking decent beer
Pros:

This is a nice pub/restaurant with nice staff, nice rooms (so I am told) and serving good food. Its one drawback is that you can't get a decent pint as they don't keep any cask beer. I have eaten there on a couple of occasions as friends have stayed there while attending local events but would not do so normally as I want a decent pint if I go to a pub. What a pity!

It was fairly pleasant. Very friendly approachable staff.
Pros:

We enjoyed the menu options at the restaurant and the bar had a very nice selection of wines and spirits to choose from. Was thoroughly enjoyed. A nice touch that breakfast was included within the booking and had selection of items to choose from including a full English to cereals to jams and toast.

Cons:

Rooms are rather outdated and could do with an upgrade.

Great staff and good food but facilities need an upgrade.
Pros:

Staff very friendly and helpful. A very good evening meal. Accommodation clean.

Cons:

The bedroom was a small single, very shabby, bathroom looked clean but had a distinct smell of mould. There was also an intermittent noise from machinery coming from outside the room which went on through the night.

Plenty of off street parking.

Charming inn in Rugby. Been before and will be back again!
Pros:

The owner is the nicest woman in the world. The restaurant is charming and the food is excellent. We began with whitebait and a lovely pate for starters and had a range of entrees including their superb pies, lamb, steak, followed by the best sticky toffee pudding and Eton mess. It was a repeat stay and we'll be back!

Cons:

The rooms themselves are showing their age. They are comfortable but a bit dated.
