Great accommodation at an extremely competitive rate.
Pros:

The accommodation was a studio apartment, which was preferable to a hotel room. It was clean, in good decorative condition and there were pubs, restaurants and a supermarket on the doorstep.

Cons:

The only thing I didn't like, was the lack of on-site parking. However, I was able to park in the nearby street ; a mere one minute walk.

Clean, warm basic accommodation for short stays
Pros:

We had Room 8 on the first floor and having driven 5 hours in a storm and driving rain it was a warm, clean, spacous room to arrive at. The bed was comfortable and having a small kitchen and microwave meant we could pop to Morrisons down the road and pick up soup etc. We were staying here to be near family just outside the village, and for the price this made it an affordable place to sleep at night. The key was in a key box which was easy to use. Heating is underfloor but there was an electric heater to keep things cosy when the temperatures dropped below freezing.

Cons:

It was quite tricky to find the passageway to the rooms, as it's right on a busy junction - it says disabled people can drive down this, it's very narrow! It was a bit of a pain not to be able to drop off the least able of us outside, and we got soaked walking from the nearest car park with our cases.
Something which won't be a problem for many but was for our tall visitor, in a huge room with its roomy en suite, it's a shame the smallest sized shower had been installed. This was difficult to get in and out of, and our tall guest had to give up and take showers at the nearby family's home.
Also, with so much room, an armchair would have been welcome - sitting all evening on a small metal kitchen chair was not comfortable.
If you are only sleeping here, it's a good value option.
