"It will do for digs"
Pros:

Decent little room but nothing as advertised

Cons:

central heating was off so had an electric heater instead, no food on site apart from a burger van, was hoping for some british pub food but settled for dominos instead

A good, sensibly priced accommodation notation for a night’s stay.
Pros:

A great stop over for a night. A warm welcome from the staff at the bar and a cosy fire and a drink settled us in. The room was clean and had all we needed (extra heater if it was too cold at night). Providing robes and slippers was a nice touch and was appreciated.
They now provide a breakfast bag as there is nowhere to eat nearby that we could see. This was fine as we weren’t expecting to have anything until we’d stopped off somewhere.

Cons:

Nothing really. It’s more of a motel set up with chalet style rooms. Decor a little tired but clean and tidy and we had a great night’s sleep.

A country pub with ensuite rooms
Pros:

We were made very welcome when we arrived, and also in the pub, which is part of the hotel.
There are self contained ensuite rooms behind it, which are very clean, warm, and the bed is very comfortable.

Superb
Pros:

The room was ground level with no stairs to climb. I was made very welcome when I arrived at the Yew Tree.

Cons:

The shower was fine but a door on the shower enclosure would be better than a shower curtain as they become static. There were some scuff marks on the shower tray, otherwise the room was fine.

Ok in an emergency (as in my case)
Pros:

Friendly staff. Nice towels/bathrobe and bed linen

Cons:

Squeaky, saggy bed. No shower caps despite a 'rainfall' type shower, awkward positioning of toilet roll, very rusty toiletry holder in shower. Long way from airport with no buses so expensive taxis required
