Super friendly, typical Dale's pub, with lovely walks from the door.
Pros:

Super friendly staff, cosy bar, newly refurbished room, very good pub food, and walks from the door.

Cons:

The room was a bit narrow, so we would only want to use it for a couple of nights stay as a little tight for space. The underfloor heating took a little time to warm the room up.
