Lovely pub and great location.
Pros:

Very nice decor and lovely friendly staff.

Cons:

For a large room it was sparsely furnished. There was no armchair and the tv was a long distance from the bed. There was an open mic night and I was directly above it, so I couldn’t hear the tv anyway. The heating had not been put on ahead of my arrival, so the room which was generously sized, was pretty cold but when it came up to temperature in the middle of the night, I was roasting. There was nowhere to put a toilet bag in the bathroom except for the floor and there was no water glass. Lovely though the staff were, it all just felt like they had never reviewed what a guest might need from the room and as if the last minute checked hadn’t been done.

Pros:

Beautiful room!!!!! Great shower!!!

Cons:

My only tiny gripe was the tea bags/sugar/coffee in the room were non-existent (plenty of milk!!!) but then I didn't say anything, so I can't complain!

A great fun stay
Pros:

Location was perfect for us, with ample parking in the vicinity. The owner, Grant made us very welcome and the room was a real surprise, lovely decor, a super shower and tea/coffee facility in the room. Imaculately clean too.
The bar was very popular with locals who were very friendly. I must give a shout out to the two girls working the bar, Sim and Lucy I think, they certainly know how to mix a good cocktail or two!

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

We were met by Sam who was the barmaid, receptionist and concierge. She made us very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The beer garden was lovely and the rooms were modern and stylish. The location is great. There is only 4 rooms which made it feel like a Airbnb rather than a hotel. Would recommend the Bedford Inn.

Cons:

Kitchen only open weekends
