Comfortable and enjoyable. In a lovely quaint village
Pros:

Very friendly staff. Good bar menu and drink selection.
Great check in. We stayed an extra night which speaks volumes.

Room was lovely .

Cons:

It was ridiculously hot weather so the room was very hot at night. A small fan to loan would have helped.

This is not a moan just little bit of feedback so you dont get moaning guests. A little cobweb in the bathroom ( i moved it easily) and used empty shower gels on the shower unit.

Overall we were disappointed.
Pros:

We were greeted and given easy access to our accommodation, even though we arrived late in the evening. There were complimentary soft drinks in the fridge.

Cons:

No-one was around in the morning, all doors were locked and there was no breakfast provided even though we had specifically said we would want breakfast at 8am which was the advertised start time. No towels in one of the rooms, the shower was not very clean. The other room had an unpleasant smell.

This used to be a beautiful pub in a beautiful location - but now run down.
Pros:

Great village location. Helpful & friendly staff.

Cons:

This used to be a beautiful pub in a beautiful location - but now very run down. Room very basic & took an hour to cook dinner. No fan or A/C on the hottest day of the year - but we did have our own, so not a problem!

You get what you pay for

Reasonable room rate

Very basic, other rooms noisy due to building construction. Missing sink plug and no hot water, room and bathroom need a deep clean

Perfectly adequate for an overnight stay but for longer would want somewhere more comfortable.
Pros:

Good value and I liked that the rooms were separate from the pub.

Cons:

Over two floors, which wasn't apparent when booking. Thin walls, so neighbours easily heard. Beware scalding water from the hot water tap. The chef seemed surprised when we turned up for breakfast. Initially asked if we could wait an hour (we couldn't) and then provided a good, if pricey breakfast, though the toast was a little anaemic and there was one butter pat for two slices (and no jam).
