Great accommodation for this price
Pros:

Newly renovated room and bathroom, nice location, dog friendly and cheap.
The bathroom and the shower were great.
Nice place for the price

Cons:

The mattresses weren't comfortable and they needed renovation.
Some parts of the room were incredibly nice and new, like the bathroom, but some of the blinds were broken and the windows are old.

Pros:

Room and bed were very clean and comfortable. Bathroom freshly returned and excellent.

Cons:

Late breakfast starting after 8am. A little too late. 7 30 am start would be much better for people moving on early.

No one answered the phone or the door after multiple knocks, rings and buzzes! Rude staff rang the next day to say they dont allow check in after a certain time.

Room looked good and newly refurbished.
Beds was so comfy

Parking is questionable. The pub has a couple, I mean a couple, of spaces, first come first serve. They are Open to pub patrons aswell.

Great Location & Value & Dog Friendly - Ticks All The Boxes
Pros:

Great location very near dog friendly park and beach. Free car parking but only 3x spaces that we could see. Dogs stay for free. Karaoke on a Friday night and Love Music on a Saturday night. Food starts at 8am with an all day breakfast. Food served till 9pm. Great pub grub.
Bedroom & Bathroom were a great size & pleasantly surprised us - very good for pub rooms. Bed & pillows very comfortable and everything was sparkling clean and a fabulous & friendly cleaning lady.
Staff are great.
They showed the rugby in the pub.
We stayed in room 12 & you can hear the music but didn't bother us.
We will be back.

Cons:

Vegetarian sausage was disgusting. Pressure in shower was a tad weak.
The bedroom was incredibly warm so we had the window open all the time and room 12 faces a main road so some car noise. Also the window rattled all night which was annoying.
