Will be back!
Pros:

Great experience as always, clean and great service. Pub food tasty. Love the breakfast hamper, the BLT was delicious!

Cons:

I forgot to ask for the radiator to be switched on, it took an age to warm the room on such a cold evening! Only hit 18c by 7am the next morning

Amazing
Pros:

We didn't get the managers name, but she was fantastic, very friendly and helpful and was an absolute hero for us on very short notice after we had a last minute accommodation cancellation elsewhere.

Not as good as the previous times we have stayed.
Pros:

Bedrooms away from the pub.
Food is good and great value for money.

Cons:

Went in to eat at 6pm but the restaurant was not serving food due to a staff party. There was no notice of this change from the advertised times.
We had booked room 1 but this room had not been cleaned so we were placed in room 2. Room 2 is excellent but wanted to try a different room.

Lovely pub, okay for a short stay.
Pros:

The pub and staff. The room was a little small for the price, although the bed was soft and everything was clean. The bathroom is a reasonable size (although we only needed to sleep here, the shower looked spacious). The little necessities, toothbrush/razor. Breakfast was included and the staff kindly made us sandwiches to go. We would stay again if we needed to. We've eaten here a few times and will definitely be back for meals.

Cons:

The room was very small, the chair squished into the corner on one side isn't necessary. Thin walls and windows, we could hear everything, from traffic outside (we expected this due to location so no real issue) to other guests coming in and out, doors banging at 00:45am. The ladybugs in the bathroom, on the toilet, walls and mirror. No milk for tea/coffee seen.

Pros:

Breakfast was great. Staff were excellent.
The room was lovely- just slightly noisy in the morning due to road traffic, but still a lovely place fit an overnight stay.
