Pros:

The bed was incredibly comfy, shower had great pressure, separate bath was lovely and relaxing. Staff were friendly. Full English breakfast was good quality and tasty.

Cons:

Very nice room but definitely on the expensive side, however we visited on a bank holiday weekend which is why prices were higher. The pub stops serving food at 6pm on a Sunday which we did not realise after arriving at 7pm, so I'd recommend checking their kitchen times.

Nice rooms and location but other elements need work.
Pros:

Great location and large. Well equipped room.

Cons:

Staff were indifferent, not rude but very much gave the impression that the did not care when there was an issue.
There was no wifi available for the entire duration of our stay.
They also hosted a noisy karaoke night on the Sunday evening.

Gone downhill markedly since last year
Pros:

Location and rooms fabulous.

Cons:

Untidy since last visit last year. Carpets dirty, needed a hoover up the stairs. Stood waiting at reception a good 10 mins before even being spoken despite checking in on line. Tables full of empty bottles & plates. Ran out of cutlery. Staff couldn’t cope. Breakfast ran out of milk. Coffe was Luke warm and pitiful. Toast like cardboard - you could break windows with it. Like fawlty towers.
