I left a day early as the mold/damp smell was so strong i ended up with a sore throat.
Pros:

The property was located near to where I was working that week.

Cons:

The property/pub was grubby and tired. The tiled floor to the entrance of the pub was dirty. The metal stairs to the entrance of the property was located to the rear of the building and were full of moss and weeds. The entrance to the bedrooms was moldy smelling and tired. There was a shared kitchen with a hairdryer and and iron. The bedroom was so damp and mold smelling i had to open the windows wide. Upon further exploration the shower trap in the shower was full of hair and slime and the water wouldnt drain. I experienced the landlady as ungracious.

Good for a stopover.
Pros:

The location was excellent. The room was quite small but clean and absolutely fine for a one night stopover.

Cons:

We hadn't anticipated that the pub would not be serving meals but we were directed to a pub 10 mins walk away. There didn't appear to be a choice of timing for breakfast. It would have been nice to have been able to choose from a list of breakfast ingredients rather than going for the full English without knowing what that included. This would save money and reduce waste.

Good accommodation but lack of the expected breakfast.
Pros:

Clean, comfortable room, excellent shower, peaceful locatìn next to the canal, plenty of parking space.

Cons:

Had been told, when I phoned a few weeks ago, that they did bed and breakfast, but no evening meals. Disappointing therefore to find no breakfast either, and the pub would be shut by 9.00pm. We understand the difficult business environment for the hospitality sector, but customer expectations need to be managed. And customers will go elsewhere if they are disappointed, and basic requirements aren't met.

Over priced for basic
Pros:

Easy parking. Comfy chair in room. Quiet at night.

Cons:

Over priced massively for what it is, paid £90, this should be £60 maximum, I stay away every week and for £90 I get usually much better in every way,. No restaurant, that was a right faff finding evening meal. Tinest TV ever manufactured. No desk to work at.
