Good range of amenities including sauna, yoga studio, access-code entry, café and in-room extras; some limitations (café/kitchen hours and bar area access) tempered the score.

Pros:

struttura tranquilla, con camere abbastanza ampie ma da rivedere a livello di mobilia. Il bagno è moderno e di buone dimensioni.
Pulizia delle camere accettabile. La colazione va ordinata via whatsapp la sera prima e può essere consegnata in camera.

Cons:

Come in molti hotel inglesi, non c'è l'aria condizionata e in caso di temperature elevate, l'unico aiuto è un piccolo ventilatore da tavolo. Alcune camere sono al piano terra e si affacciano su parcheggi delle case confinanti e sulla strada, quindi non è possibile tenere le finestre aperte. Su queste camere la privacy è molto limitata. Essendo una guest house la reception verso le 19 chiude.

Nice vibe stop over
Pros:

The Roade House has a nice vibe with the yoga classes and cafe. My room was spacious and comfortable with a nice gushy shower. Pub and village shop very close by. Worked well as a stop-over as easy access to main routes. Cafe open early for easy breakfast - with big portions.

Cons:

Only minor thing was that I could hear the person in the room above snoring! Not a lot the hotel could do about that though!! 😂

It is a really nice place and other than the hot water situation worth every penny.
Pros:

The location was in a scenic part of the world, really quaint and the room was lovely!

Cons:

The hot water in the sink took 4.5 minutes to come through when I used the sink late at night. I had to laugh as there was a sign that said the hot water could take up to 2.5 minutes which is why I timed it.

It might be something that the ownership should look into if a multiple of reasons.
