Tried my best to find other accommodation but none available at short notice after being in room for a few hours
Pros:

Central location

Cons:

Lack off facilities, very small room , very basic accommodation , windows would close making room cold and no heating to compensate. Loose fittings in bathroom with black mould around shower area shower barely got to warm and the constant smell off sewage from Maserator toilet when any others flushed through building

Convenience without frills
Pros:

Central and cheerful with no frills
Great coffee facilities
Can get a meal at the bar and in the beer garden
Very friendly staff
Carpark nearby

Cons:

The rooms are very cramped - if you’re standing up in the room you are in the way of the other occupant and the bathroom is too small for two.
There are steps inside the bathroom which takes up space and could cause a trip.
Nowhere to put a suitcase
Noise from extractor outside the window
Poor workmanship in rooms, broken lights and handles

Good Location - does what it needs to do
Pros:

The room was clean, bed was comfy and location was good for our needs. The pub was busy but the noise did not impact too much on the room. Staff were pleasant and approachable.

Cons:

The bedroom window had a large crack in the glass, the sash was no longer in place and the window was held up by placing a wooden box under it but the window was heavy to move.
It was located close to mechanical units which were very noisy
The light in the shared toilet would not work so had to leave the door ajar to use it. Reported it but no evidence that it had been looked at (eg note to advise what had been done) and still did not work with no alternative offered.

I got what I expected, for the price I paid
Pros:

The refreshments tray was one off the best I've seen, real coffee bags instead off instant with a range off herbal & black tea bags, together with decent biscuits. With the heatwave on a standing fan had been added to the room (albeit when running it used the TV power socket)

Cons:

No immediately obvious Wifi (although I didn't ask at the bar) & parking was either on street or a nearby public car park both off which had an 08:00 'till 18:00 charge period. Not the venues fault but he shared toilet could do with vent grills, another guest hadn't turned the hot tap fully off last thing at night, when I opened the door around 06:30 it was like walking into an oven

Geen aanrader
Pros:

De ligging t.o.v. centrum en de pub.

Cons:

De kamer. Was gelegen aan achterzijde van de pub. Geen doorschijnend glas en een warmtepomp die ‘s nachts vaak aansloeg. Heel luidruchtig. Douchecabine in de kamer en toilet op de gang. Had al eerder 2x via e-mail gevraagd voor een kamer met badkamer en toilet. Nooit reactie gehad. Bij aankomst nogmaals gevraagd om upgrade. Was wel een kamer beschikbaar, maar kon deze niet krijgen omdat het via Booking was gereserveerd. Gevalletje computer says no. Heel slecht.
Pub was verder prima
