I'd rather have slept in a tent
Pros:

The room was cold and the inadequaste heater wasnt powerful enough.
There was a continual pumping noise all night - possibly from the pipes?
The toilet was that close to the wash basin, you struggled to get on it
The walls were that thin, you could hear the person next door farting
The only good point was the wifi worked well
Certainyly not worth £79

Pros:

For the money, this place was very good (not quite excellent but there is no 'very good' category).
It had a small fridge, microwave, en suite, smartish TV, comfy bed (foam mattress) and a supply of tea & coffee.
Space was adequate for two. Décor fine.
It was quite noisy on Friday night because the adjacent pub beer garden was well populated due to fine weather. Saturday night was less noisy. Also a small car park was just outside the only window which needed to be open due to temperature. The fridge sounded like a jet passing overhead but I got used to it.
I had no control over the shower head which liberally filled the shower room floor with water until I had mastered the shower curtain (the sort that sticks to you!) As for the staff, I spoke with one person once. Very friendly and informative. However, the soaking wet shower mat was missed by the cleaner and the decaff coffee not replenished. Very minor. Service otherwise was very good and I expect assistance would have been provided if I'd asked, but that wasn't necessary.
Unfortunately, breakfast was not available at the establishment (and the breakfast at the recommended Gilk's Garage café was, I felt, very expensive).
Overall, I was really pleased with the place. Nice village/town with pubs, chippy, post office, Co-op, church, café, etc.. Useful facilities were provided in the room. Car parked alongside. Relatively cheap.

Pros:

Dusty everywhere (even the pillows and sheets), floor needed hoovering too. Blind at window broken so people could see in and floodlight coming through all night as well as noisy from pub. Towel rail with bits broken off and burning hot with no way to switch off! Needs a good clean and refurbishing. No breakfast included - unlike advertised. The staff member was pleasant.

Pros:

Stable.barn conversion. Rooms not rt angles so bed diagnl in room. Beams lots of cobwebs. Well stocked and clean linen. Bathroom needs refurb. Esp. Reskim bodged walls and old broken and holed tiles. Shower good. Dodgy mat. Curtain leaks with mould and stain.
Worst is noise. Walls not insul. And thin. Heard neighb. Snoring sneeze and cough. Front door side by side opened 2 plus 3 times in evening with staff coming back explag no breakfast available cos of refurb to pub and recent taking over.
This was not told to us. We were reimbursed a tenner. Did not use the pub.
This place is better suited to horses.

Pros:

Fabulous proper “old time pub” friendly staff and customers. Sadly the weekend we stayed was the last for the pub as it is being changed into a tapas bar. What a shame.

Pros:

The room itself was very nice, but as it was adjoined to a pub, the first night was very noisy with pub goers partying.
