Excellent. Welcoming staff and a clean and comfortable room with a great bathroom and power shower.
Pros:

A very nice clean room in a separate area from the main building, so not noisy. A very comfortable bed and the bathroom was really good with a great shower.

Cons:

Nothing. It was all good.

Fantastic
Pros:

Staff were outstanding, as was the food and the room. Really really good place to stay

Cons:

We went one of the coldest days this winter. The room was struggling to keep warm mainly due to the age of the property and an I’ll fitting bathroom window which wouldn’t fully close. With the bathroom door closed the whole room warmed up but being a large room it took a little time. On non sub zero days this wouldn’t be a problem at all and wouldn’t stop me rebooking again. It’s a great place.

Lovely room but to expensive for the quality of stay.
Pros:

Room was decorated lovely. Spacious room.

Cons:

Bathroom was freezing. Room was kne the road and main path so very noisey would have though the window would have been double glazed to keep out some of the noise. Bathroom backed on to courtyard and was so noisey up to closing time. Couldn't sleep until after 2am.

Great location, friendly staff, comfy bed
Pros:

Breakfast was nice, piping hot and good portion sizes on first morning but just not available on second morning. Room was nice size and bed lovely and comfortable. We had a problem with the heating and someone came and sorted it straight away for us.

Cons:

Room was cold,, however there was a radiator where you could adjust the heat and an oil radiator you could use and a fan heater. Bathroom was cold with no way to get any heat into it as electric towel rail only worked intermittently. Single glazed windows but it is an old building so perhaps it is listed. Shutters look lovely but heavy curtains would block the draughts better. We were not told when booking that the pub would be closed from 11pm on our second night meaning no breakfast available on second morning and we were not given any contact numbers to call should there be a problem. In hindsight I am not sure if anyone lives over the pub so available to help on any night. Outside door from pub courtyard to rooms seemed to be open or at best unlocked most of the time and no mechanism on room doors to be able to see who is knocking on door before opening. Nobody came to make up our room while we were there, giving us the option of fresh towels, we had asked for tea tray to be replenished but we're not sure if that happened or not.

Great location.
Pros:

Good central location in courtyard of charming old public house overlooking the estuary. Rooms clean and attractively furnished while staff are friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Pub is on high street so traffic noise can be an issue for rooms art the front (but calms down later).
