Pros:

Was comfortable and airy

Cons:

The toilet roll holder is in a weird position also I think the breakfast menu should have a better choice like individual items ie bacon, eggs, sausage,and sandwiches instead of a fixed breakfast

Pros:

Comfortable bed. It was very hot however we had a fan in our room.

Cons:

Very close to the road and you could hear the traffic when you opened the window which is why having a fan was so very important.

Great place to stay and eat
Pros:

Lovey staff, really polite and friendly, rooms were really clean and presented well and the restaurant food was amazing.

Cons:

We had to check out really early and there was nowhere to deposit the key for check out so we had to leave the key in the room as we weren't sure what to do with it.

Value for money
Pros:

Room was a good size and bathroom. Cooked Breakfast was very good. Plenty of toast for 2 people. Great price for room and breakfast. Nice having the pub attached to the accommodation. Plenty of free parking. Reception staff very welcoming.

Cons:

The room was abit tired and it did smell of smoke.
Breakfast staff were abit slow with taking our order. The fruit which was out, looked like it had been there along time. Also when the cooked breakfast came out, sauces could have come out at the same time.
