Pros:

Nice central location

Cons:

Very small car park although road side parking is right opposite the pub
We were not informed about the work that was planned prior to our arrival only the Saturday we arrived was access to the bar and snug Sunday breakfast was served and we were told that from then we could eat over the road and be reimbursed but the bar and dining areas were closed because of work being carried out as a result we cut short our visit and left a day earlier than planned no mention of a reimbursement for the day lost or the inconvenience of not being able to use the pub facilities

Very disappointed the pictures on booking.com were very misleading and not what the place looks like
Pros:

Nothing apart from the freshly cooked breakfast.

Cons:

The Bar & Hotel were very tired and in need of modernising. The outside area was littered with cigarette butt's ashtrays weren't empted.

Couldn't get an invoice, wouldn't recommend
Pros:

Very central, close to shops and pubs and main roads

Cons:

I was unable to get an invoice for my stay despite repeatedly asking for one.
Car park is very tiny and has a low roof over the access way.

People LOVELY. Zero comfort
Pros:

It’s clean, as in the sheets and towels are clean and the bathroom is clean. Carpet, not so much. But the staff is absolutely lovely. Absolute legends, and the reason I stayed there the second night and didn’t come home after my first night on that bed. They all deserve to be mentioned.

Cons:

It’s dated… very dated. Irregular floors, cranky floors, stairs a bit dangerous as a bit falling apart, not enough power outlets, the furniture is tatty and old…. But the worst was the bed… not ONE spring left on the mattress that’s how old it was… was just as bad as sleeping on the floor… it’s not right. Surely they have been told about this. It’s horrendous.
And then, as the cherry on the top… the shower has zero pressure and just spits some water… but I guess they can’t be blamed for poor water pressure… was just another bummer.

Tiny
Pros:

Staff were nice . Bedding was clean.

Cons:

The whole place was filty especially the bar and restaurant areas, everywhere needs a really good clean, the 4 poster bed was like sleeping on a creeky brick.

Good pub but not for overnight stay
Pros:

Breakfast and staff

Cons:

Mattress very poor. Very noisy guests, late at night and early morning (3am). Is their a noise policy... ie quiet after 11pm?
