Hardly the ritz
Pros:

Location was fine. Pub being on site was a bonus. Cheap.

Cons:

First room I was offered had a random sound of a pump running coming through the wall every 5-10 seconds. This went on for about half an hour before I went to complain. First member of staff said that was the pump for the sink/showers and all rooms had it. It would be quieter when people weren't showering. Duty manager said it was from the boiler house or something similar and moved me to an upgraded room in another block. When changing rooms, I noticed the original room's sheets were soiled/stained also. New room wasn't particularly an upgrade but it was absent pump noises. However windows did not seal properly so a lot of noise coming through from the outside.

Other than the noise that did affect me getting off to sleep, everything else was great!
Pros:

Clean, spacious, great location.

Cons:

The noise coming from adjacent rooms every time they used their bathroom. Water pipes and extractor fans.

Couldn’t sleep due to noise of plumbing
Pros:

Handy location

Cons:

Cobwebs everywhere, and not very clean. Heating broken.

Main issue was a ridiculously loud noise every time somebody turned on a tap or flushed the toilet. There’s obviously a pump located somewhere near my room, which meant I hardly slept.

I brought this to the attention of a very helpful and apologetic young team member in the morning who told me this is a regular issue depending on the room being stayed in.

She assured me that a manager would call me to discuss, but as this hasn’t happened I’ve marked down the scores accordingly.

Standards dropped from our last visit
Pros:

It was close to my daughter's house. They don't have room to put us up so we stayed at Mill on the Soar.

Cons:

The rooms are pretty run down. Old wooden windows don't close properly. We found the breakfast choices were very confusing. Possibly to get guests to pay more

Delivered what I needed for one night
Pros:

Close to where I needed to be

Cons:

I was in the separate building at the back of the property and didn’t feel particularly safe as a solo traveler, man road was very noisy until late at night and very early in the morning
