Pros:

Courteous bar made and friendly customers in the bar who offered advice.

Cons:

Made the booking, received the confirmation, travelled to the hotel to find that they don't have rooms any more and that booking.com keeps on making bookings. I was the 3rd person that day to turn up and be disappointed leaving me to find another hotel at 6:30pm.
Nothing wrong with the Upton Arms - just booking.com

DO NOT BOOK HERE - HOTEL DOES NOT EXIST!
Cons:

DO NOT BOOK HERE - HOTEL DOES NOT EXIST
Booked for an overnight stay in April, easy to book on the website and soon sent a conformation email of my booking with a booking number and private pin. I had tried calling the hotel multiple times but unable to get through. However had received email confirmation of booking and kept receiving things to do while in the area.
When we arrived to check in, I was then informed the hotel had not existed for 3 months - yet booking.com had allowed me to book a room! I was unable to see anywhere on the website notification that the hotel was no longer in operation.
Very poor experience.

No accommodation to stay in. No longer a hotel.
Pros:

This place hasn't been a hotel for 2 years, since new ownership. I spoke to the owner and despite him requesting Booking.com to remove from their site, he's still getting people turning up for a room with a booking confirmation email. I wasted time and unnecessary money getting there only to be let down on arrival. Shocking service from yourselves.

Cons:

Booking.com's inability to keep their database up to date.

Pros:

Not a lot!

Cons:

The hotel is closed and was not honouring existing bookings. The new landlord said that he had removed the hotel from Booking.com. It would have been useful if Booking.com had got in touch with me to let me know. Thanks a lot guys!

Cons:

Would not recommend it at all! After booking weeks and weeks in advance and the hotel ringing the morning of our stay asking for my arrival time they then rang half hour later to cancel the booking saying it was an error on booking.com side, in fact he cancelled me as he had a better offer from someone wanting all 3 rooms for a block booking nothing to do with Booking. Com....this left me with no accommodation just as I was going to be setting off. The stay over was for a wedding!

Balls up
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The manager stated that he'd not received my booking and that he had only four rooms and they were all booked out. So at short notice I had to find another hotel, although they did recommend one but that was fully booked!
