Pros:

Room and bathroom were of a good size. Good storage availability. Good range of toiletries. Breakfast was good

Cons:

Cleanliness of the shower area and shower head need to be of a higher standard. The food in the restaurant and wine prices we considered overpriced

Excellent place to stay and great value
Pros:

Great location, lovely looking pub and accommodation block. Plenty of parking. Staff were great, very friendly and professional. We had dinner and breakfast, and the food was excellent on both occasions. They also do a menu deal in the evening which is great value. The room was really comfy, nice and clean, and was well provisioned with a coffee machine and water etc. Basically everything was great, and we'll definitely stay here again if we're in the area.

Pros:

Food was good

Cons:

The room was poor and smelled a little off. There is no area to sit and dry hair. I had to drag a huge mirror across to the power outlet for the hairdryer.
