Good location and comfortable room.
Pros:

Cosy, comfortable single room in good location. Parking available at the back. Friendly member of staff on arrival who showed me my room.

Cons:

No soap in the dispenser in the bathroom, luckily I had some. The room was above the bar,which had music playing. However this was not a problem as was just background noise.
What did disturb my sleep was later when people left the pub and stood outside in the street talking loudly.

Great value.
Pros:

Needed a nice comfortable base for a few days while touring the area on motorbike. The single room in Maxwell Arms did the job perfectly, and I felt confident that the bike was secure overnight round the back of the pub. There's also a petrol station next door, and plenty of places to eat close by.

Cons:

All good. Thank you.

A convenient stop over with limited facilities
Pros:

Comfortable beds in a triple room. Complimentary toiletries were a nice touch and tea /coffee making in room also good.

Cons:

Only one pillow per bed and all three of us would have preferred two. No food on the premises for evening meal or breakfast.
