Pleasant apart from the early wake-up
Pros:

Convenient location. Great food

Cons:

This is our fourth stay here and each time the lamps above the bed were not working. Renovations happening, which is great, but the workmen were very noisy throwing waste into the skip bin right outside our door at 6.30am!

Won’t stay here again if you paid me
Pros:

Great friendly staff, free meal for my partner and I and our 3 year old

Cons:

Room stank of sewage, relocated to another room the following day and the smell started again after a couple hours coming up from the floor wastes, daughter woke up with a pretty bad chesty cough so checked out early

Don't expect too much for your money.
Pros:

Staff were friendly, mostly helpful and pub was quite nice.

Room was also clean and tidy.

Cons:

Car park lit up during the night with flood lights, blinds in windows inadequate to keep room dark and as a result, poor quality sleep. A lot of places don't get the basics right, this was one.

Additionally, room wasn't ready when I specifically requested early check in (I arrived between 12:00-1:00 as I said I would) and no tea/coffee was in the room, these two are more minor issues though.
