Lovely Inn, well appointed, good value.
Pros:

The room was large and comfortable with all necessary amenities. They even supplied a fan for the heatwave which was thoughtful. The rooms were very quiet despite being above a pub. In the fridge there is milk and water and they also give you lovely biscuits and a selection of hot drinks if that's your persuasion.

Breakfast can be purchased with a discount from their sister restaurant down the street.

Cons:

The only quirks are if you are mobility challenged at all this is not the most accessible hotel, rooms are on the top floor up various narrow staircases. Don't bring massive luggage!

Not the hotel's fault but parking in the town is challenging and no matter where you leave your car it will be a bit of a walk to the Inn. Parking is also confusing, chargeable from 8am to 6pm and no overnight parking allowed but residents said that parking and removing your car before 8am was fine, feels at your own risk though.

Clean and quiet.
Pros:

Despite being above the pub on a night England was playing a World Cup final, the room is (amazingly) quiet. The meals at the pub were also good and the staff friendly.

Cons:

Stair up to room didn’t bother us but would be a problem for those with limited mobility.
There’s no A/C but a small fan was provided.

Poor quality finish in the bathroom and lack of attention to detail: cracked mug handle, rusty pop up basin plug; loose sharp bath panel, rusty toilet roll holder, no hooks on the door or wall to hang anything, terrible view of rubbish from bedroom window.
