Fantastic country accommodation and pub
Pros:

Loved the location, was a little difficult to find but that was the fault of google maps. The room was great and the bed was very comfortable. The lounge was handy as was the free morning breakfast. The pub kitchen next door was more than happy to cater to our dietary needs. Tasty food

Cons:

It was all fantastic.
