not worth the price but didn’t basic job
Pros:

great location, nice bar area, staff very friendly

Cons:

room was small, basic but the tv was laughable, huge empty wall opposite bed and a tiny kitchen tv on corner of wall which the remote control was same size. Breakfast we paid £25 for 2 and no continental , 2 choices of cereal and 3 juice. Toast was ordered and 1 slice brought out. English breakfast was mean for the price at 1 item and not even good quality sausage. Save your money and go to the cafe down the road as poor atmosphere in the dining hall. The table next to us was just full of the owners family who weren’t even eating so just felt a bit awkward. Over heard other guests complaining of paying £7.50 for continental which you’d expect a help yourself stray of pastries etc and same, cereal and juice and 1 toast ordered. Come on guys, you’re missing a trick here - be generous and you’ll get the customers.

Booked on behalf of friends who said it was good for their needs and would stay again...
Pros:

I made booking for several friends but did not stay myself... However, everyone who stayed said it was a good base for the night and that they would stay again in a similar situation

Cons:

Only thing they mentioned was room size on the 'cozy' side and noise from trains but nothing overly critical.

Excellent two days. Would return if I am in the area.
Pros:

The room was comfortable and clean. Indeed it smelt as if it had recent;y been refurbished! Although the restaurant was quiet, the meal was well cooked and presented. Breakfast is pre-ordered, and cooked freshly rather then a typical hotel buffet breakfast. This makes the experience so much more enjoyable. also, if you do not order everything available on the breakfast menu, the Chef will include extra portions of what has been ordered to make up the value.

Cons:

The Hotel is an old Coaching Inn. Facilities for those less mobile are, at best limited, and for the disabled almost non-existent. This is not a criticism of the Hotel, but in an old Coaching Inn the scope for accommodating alterations to help is limited.

"You pays your money, you takes your choice!".
Pros:

Right in the centre of the small town.
Free parking on site

Cons:

Not so much "didn't like" but more of the realisation that the hotel is tired. It needs a refurb but I don't doubt there isn't the budget to do it.
Breakfast functional.
That said, it served our needs for the night.
"You pays your money, you takes your choice.......!".
