Great staff, good food, comfortable room.
Pros:

The staff were all friendly and helpful. The lady at breakfast was particularly warm and welcoming, as a diabetic she happily accommodated my requests. Dinner choices were good and the atmosphere was welcoming. Good parking. Ideal location.

Cons:

Highly recommend that fans are bought for all rooms as there was very small windows and no air conditioning, it made for uncomfortable sleeping whilst the weather was so hot.

Lovely room, can’t fault it.
Pros:

Great property and nice rooms. Great location and the pub / restaurant adjoining the rooms does a great breakfast and drinks.

Cons:

The hotel can’t control the weather so don’t blame them for the heatwave we had, but a fan in the room would’ve been much appreciated 😂

You get what you pay for. We've paid more for equal.
Pros:

Good Location as we were visiting family in the area. Plenty of free parking. Comfortable bed

Cons:

Unmanned Reception. Had to go to the Bar to get a member of staff to book us in. The whole place needs a refurbishment as it's very tired looking. Shower over bath which was difficult due to disabilities. Toilet seat not fitted properly. No toilet roll holder on the wall as it had obviously broken & not been repaired. Carpets & chairs very grimy.

Wouldn’t return.
Pros:

Nothing went great. The room was ok, you get what you pay for. Easy check in and check out is about the only good thing I will give this place.

Cons:

The manager was extremely rude and had a serious attitude, obviously doesn’t like her job. The place is not family friendly. I get that there is a pub attached, but no children are allowed anywhere (outside area, carpark, restaurant section) after 9pm. We were given out to by the manager for a family member taking my one year old niece out in her buggy in to the car park because she couldn’t sleep and the room was too hot (no AC or fans).
The food is terrible. Can be expected with a pub chain.
Manager cleared a whole round of drinks from our table when we stepped outside for a few minutes. When we came back the drinks were gone and our belongings dumped into a green compost bag. She claimed 12 minutes was too long to be gone from our table so therefore cleared it. I asked for a refund for the round of drinks she cleared and she more or less told me to go away.
Rooms are very shabby and upstairs rooms are extremely hot with poor ventilation.
