Pros:

Comfortable clean bed, plenty of space.

Cons:

There was an overpowering smell of sewage, primarily worst in the bathroom. It was very humid in the bedroom, windows had to be opened to air the room well.
It was very dark. There was no option of a brighter light source in the bedroom.

Great stay for the one night we needed.
Pros:

Good location. Free parking space on site. Clean and tidy. Big room with a double and single bed.
Big on suite bathroom. Friendly customers in this local bar. Value for money.
Very friendly staff, most helpful, we arrived hours before check in time but the room was ready and we were allowed access which was good because we could off load bags and get on with our day.

Cons:

Nothing.

Great location, difficult to park.
Pros:

Excellent location, close to town centre.

Cons:

Parking is challenging. The pub does allow you to park in zone 1, which can be a long way from the pub. I would say the pub does not have parking.
