Comfortable clean and nice pubs
Pros:

It was located in a pretty village with a shop and another pub. The Bell was clean and the room was comfortable.

Cons:

The shower being open to the room may be off putting for some. We booked extra comfortable room, but I don’t know if I would call it that, it did have a sofa though which was nice.

Lovely room, nice location, great staff - just be aware breakfast is not included
Pros:

Lovely room, nice homemade biscuits! Staff were very helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay again.

Cons:

Breakfast was not included in the price. We paid extra for breakfast, and it was okay - a bit expensive in some ways. For example, over £4 for toast and jam. The fried breakfast was nice, but again, not very cheap - especially if you add a coffee and a juice. In the room, one thing I found odd was the way the little soap was replaced every day by housekeeping…I’m sure one of those would have lasted our whole stay. Seemed a little unnecessary to me. But these are all small things…I’d happily stay again. So much nicer than a big chain hotel.
