Comfortable stay in good location but some things could do with some attention.
Pros:

Comfortable bed, friendly staff, quiet room, well cooked breakfast

Cons:

On the breakfast menu It advertised "vegetarian options available- please ask staff for details ", we asked if they had veggie sausages and they said the only choices were what was on the menu.
We enjoyed a late drink at the bar on one evening, some other people came in at 10.15 and asked for a drink and were told "we are closed" even though they said they were residents. Half an hour later at 10.45 we saw someone being sold a pint of beer and thought this was inconsistent. Whilst the bed was comfy I found the room probably needed some TLC.

Cosy place with fine rooms for one night stay.
Pros:

Cosy pub with good service. Staff friendly and helpful, helping on arrival and departure with heavy suitcase on stairs. We particularly enjoyed the breakfast experience: great food, well cooked (eggs especially, thanks chef) and all the trimmings of a full English Breakfast, and very good service. Generally, the hotel is larger than expected from the front view and goes back directly behind the pub on 2 levels with 14 bedrooms, which are rather small but big enough for one night's stay.

Cons:

We arrived late Friday afternoon from overseas with lots of luggage - the start of a long holiday weekend and the pub at the front was busy. Parking near the hotel was impossible, even to unload the car so we parked about 300 yards away and went to investigate. Reception is the doorway into the bar serving counter - we were checked in quickly and informed that we could access the rear of the hotel by car for unloading. There were no parking spaces in the tiny carpark but we were told we could park on a nearby quiet road, and this is what we did without problems, about 5 mins walk from the rear access to the hotel. The biggest discomfort was not the hotel's fault - the temperature that day was close to 30C and our upstairs room was under the eaves. The room was extrememly hot, the window did not open and there was no fan (tired, I didn't feel like battling the crowd in the bar to try to find a fan).

Although the room was not up to spec, the breakfast made up for it, it was excellent. Also the tea making facilities wer
Pros:

The bar/ restaurant area were good

Cons:

The room was very old and tired although it had been partly painted(emulsion) The shower screen was difficult to open and close and covered the controls. The step from the shower was quite high and we had to hold onto the towel tail to get out, which was quite dangerous. A hand rail was needed. The towel rail and soap dispenser were rusty. There was no safe in the room.

Thumbs up
Pros:

The staff, the location, the atmosphere in the bar in the evening. everyone seemed to know each other - a proper local which was good to see. I also like the simplicity of the breakfast menu. It was refreshing to see, as some hotels try to hard.

Cons:

One minor thing. There was a slight smell of drains in the bathroom when I returned in the evening and in the morning, but I'm sure that will be sorted. It didn't spoil my visit.
