I'll stay again if I'm over that way.
Pros:

Good location in the centre of town. On site parking to the rear is a big bonus. Friendly helpful staff. Clean and tidy, well managed. Great pub, good size, sub divided and cosy creating a good atmosphere.

Pros:

The room we stayed in had be newly refurbished. So was really good. They had a clothes rack but unfortunately hadn't left any coat hangers. But that was really the only complaint. The sockets had tripped. We went to the manger who dealt with it straight away. So all good 😊

Good location, free parking, but an old tired room with poor facilities
Pros:

Location

Cons:

The rooms are tired and need modernisation. A room only price of nearly £150 was not value for money.

Probably perfect for a pub crawl but not for a family stay
Pros:

The staff were really welcoming. Easy to find central location in the town with its own car park. Clean newish towels and bed linen.

Cons:

We were advised upon arrival that karaoke would be going on until 1 a.m. This part of town is pretty noisy and has a lot of pubs nearby! There is no sound insulation between rooms, so we were disturbed by the noise from the adjacent rooms and the banging of the room doors. The room/bathroom was very basic and tired. No breakfast is offered on site, but there is a CoOp and cafes locally that do serve breakfast things.
