Shaky Windows!
Pros:

We booked for 7 nights to use as a base to visit the areas along the coast .. staff were lovely and very helpful .. the room was clean and quite comfy .. great breakfast and the two meals we had were good.
We had two bikes that the owner was happy to accommodate for us overnight in a locked area.

Cons:

It's not an easy place to relax in really but then it is a town centre hotel .. if you stay at weekends be prepared for live bands, discos, karaoke etc., we had an outdoor disco right under our window on Saturday night which was so loud it made the windows shake!

Lovely, restful stay with great facilities onsite. Lovely staff. Dogs very welcome - they even have their own menu. Woul
Pros:

We were really happy with our room. Lovely & spacious. And ‘proper’ sized mugs for a cuppa!
Both my husband, myself & our dog were made to feel really welcome by the helpful, friendly staff. Fabulous food, whether it be the breakfast off the menu. Really good quality ingredients.
Council parking at the rear of the property. Only a short walk. Free overnight, so if you get the app it’s really easy to keep topped up for just when you need it.

Cons:

Nothing really. Noisy at weekends, which some people may not like - but we knew this before we arrived - it is made very clear when booking & it wasn’t a problem for us at all.
Would be nice to see the hanging baskets refreshed & the yard tidied, but this was very minor & didn’t spoil our stay.

Gob smackingly rediculous.
Pros:

The age and neatness of the building

Cons:

We were kept awake until midnight by a DJ playing rediculously loud music outside our window in the pub/ hotels garden.

Rooms as stated on website, clean, quite accommodating & friendly. Well suited for our purposes
Pros:

As The Crown is a pub the rooms were well placed providing a quite environment.
The Publican was friendly, accommodating, & listens to any feedback.
The staff and service were excellent & friendly.
Feedback: look into bike hire options.

Cons:

The coffee - may be there could be a Press Caffettiera (or a large insulated flask dispenser) for fresh coffee instead of just instant coffee.
Perhaps improve the opening/shutting of windows - the sash windows are out of balance.
