Good sized rooms in a good location minutes from the town centre
Pros:

Big room, handy location, decent beer at good prices. Friendly staff

Cons:

Mainly little details. No mirror in the bathroom or plug in the sink made wet shaving tricky. Asked for a couple of bath towels as there were only 2 hand towels in the room, but they never materialised.

Very noisy. Not a good sleep at all
Pros:

Location is great, parking nearby, plenty of places to eat out on the high street

Cons:

There's is a pub downstairs and a function room. Pretty standard so far and we have been warned that music will be played till night later. We were not expecting the floor in our room to be rocked about. Was awfull. We stayed before and was not bad at all. But now it seems that the place is being run down. Feel sad for the dedicated staff as the management makes no effort to improve things. Room we stayed a couple of years ago had not been redecorated at all. Mirror in the bathroom was probably broken and they just left the screws in there. Same old distressed caddy table. Cracked sink was not replaced, was only one dim spot light still working in the bathroom and the toilet was dirty. Not being funny but we paid £100+ per night and had the worst sleep ever. Not hotel fault some guest were very noisy but renting that function room for a noisy party until 1 am makes the bedrooms not suitable for guest to sleep in.

Would not recommend, £60 uber home to get away from the noise.
Pros:

Clean, located close to the wedding venue we were attending.

Cons:

That the pub underneath practically turns into a night club, music blaring all night with absolutely no noise control - surely this property isn’t licensed to play music to such a volume, we could hear the music word for word 2 stories up. dDunk people arguing outside venue. Our room was right above the smoking area and people opening the door every 2 seconds. I am all for people having a good time & music, but this was ridiculous.
It was so bad & loud we actually ended up getting an uber home 30 miles away at 1am with the party still very much going on below us and now having to return this morning to get our car.

Bad for people who need an invoice with a specific address on it!
Pros:

There is a charming pub inside.

Cons:

Radiator pipes leaking in the bathroom.
Looks like since months due to rust.
Awful communication regarding the invoice. They just react on calls … not emails or messages via booking.
I needed an invoice with my companies name and address on it … no chance … they even don’t reply to the booking customer service.
Thats really bad situation if you want to get the money back from a business trip. Due to no lobby or reception people in the morning there is no direct contact possible.

Comfortable stay and good value; a few things to iron out.
Pros:

Lovely old building- spacious room- nice partial view
Comfortable bed.

Cons:

Using fire escape for access/egress outside hours of 22.00-09.00. No one available between these hours- hotel phone not forwarded (just rings in the bar)
No breakfast available.
No sink plug. Bottle of shower gel, as dispenser not filled up or broken?
Window frames could do with a wipe.
