Avoid. Owner is way off the mark.
Pros:

Being charged twice for the same night and the owner not taking any steps to rectify the situation.
Stay away.

Cons:

One of the worst stays I've had for years anywhere. 
No shower or hot water for any of the residents.  The owner had known about that for at the very least 24hrs. Some residents had not had a shower for 2 mornings.  "Plumber was on its way but not quite yet".
Service levels were genuinely frighteningly poor.  Plenty of sorry but zero urgency or any effort to solve any issues. The owner must be one horrendous individual to deal with a a customer and staff to sound like beaten dogs.  (Owner sent a message confirming pauling attitude to service - zero response to his rebut).
Food was completely average and far too seasoned. Almost trying to hide the weakness. Breakfast menu was particularly uninspiring.
Coffee machine was switched on perfectly to match the end of the Service. No effort again.
Their options on their phone system either do not work and simply hang up or no-one picks up the phone. 
Any hospitality professional would have a field day with this catastrophic establishment and the owner should probably go back and do what they did before and leave this pub/hotel to actual professionals.
Best avoided if you don't want to spoil your break in the area.

First impressions weren’t good, as hotel looked tired but staff were lovely and we had a very comfortable nice clean roo
Pros:

Friendly staff, lovely breakfast and nice room with comfortable beds.

Cons:

When we arrived I thought the place looked tired, it needs a paint on the outside and the stairway up to rooms was shabby and needs a new carpet and decoration.

Very nice stay once again, would definitely return.
Pros:

Stayed here several times before. Staff are lovely, friendly and helpful. Location excellent, food (breakfast only) very good. Rooms very nice and clean with lovely en suite shower room and very comfortable beds.

Cons:

Unfortunately, there was a problem at the property which meant we had no hot water in the shower for the first day or so, but they worked hard to rectify the issue.

We’ll be back is the best thing to say because we don’t see the need to try elsewhere.
Pros:

Although the exterior of the building might need a little tlc and although the staircase leading to the rooms is quite steep, we can happily overlook these minor faults because the overall experience was wonderful. The bar and dining areas are bright and well-presented, the staff are absolutely delightful and our room (Room 3) was large, comfortable, well-equipped and spotlessly clean. The breakfast was excellent, being cooked to order so absolutely fresh and hot and also very well-presented. The meal we had on the first evening was delicious too; it was well-presented, piping hot and copious.

Cons:

Very little other than the minor points mentioned above.

Good value for money
Pros:

Clean and comfortable room, with a powerful shower in the bathroom. The breakfast was great, especially the bacon from a local butcher. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again if I was in the area.
