Excellent and I will certainly recommend.
Pros:

Very convenient, clean and staff friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Hanging cupboard light hard to turn off. Tap too big so water inclined to splash out of the basin.

We won't be returning, sadly.
Cons:

We can't review the facilities because the pub was closed the entire time we were there. So no food or drink available. Which totally negates the reason for staying in a pub. Which meant we had to get taxis to go out in the evenings.
The location was in the middle of nowhere, yet right on a busy road, so we were awake from 5am because of the noise.
The room itself was fine, but access is via a dilapidated wooden staircase and deck, totally exposed to the weather, so wet and potentially slippery.

Lovely views, beautiful room and bar/ restaurant
Pros:

Lovely room, clean, warm

Cons:

Limited menu , whilst food was good the choices were limited for us and quite pricey. Just an A La Carte menu which there was no chicken or pasta dishes or anything more simple. Silly thing but mirror in bedroom was too high to be able to sit and do hair/ make up. Pub is quite isolated although along a.main road and very quiet.

Great room
Pros:

A great location for a couple of days visiting national trust properties.
Warm and welcoming.
Lovely room with a large clean shower room. Huge shower and even more importantly large bath towels.
Enjoyed an evening drink outside with superb views over the weald.
A great meal in the pub. Well cooked and presented, definitely 'restaurant ' not 'pub'.

Cons:

Nothing

It did the job very nicely.
Pros:

Room was modern, well appointed and spotlessly clean.

Cons:

They don’t do breakfast but we understand why and staff kindly directed us to the community shop/hub/cafe 2 minute walk away which provided excellent service and which was more fun.
