Flawless.
Pros:

Cosy atmosphere and friendly staff who seemed to enjoy what they were doing. Nice bar with four ales on tap. Excellent food. We could have done with another three nights to try the rest of the menu. Clean, comfortable room and a very good shower. Booked a twin by mistake but that meant that we both got the bed to ourselves. :) This inn was also about 20 miles from where we wanted to be but on arriving and seeing the place that turned out to be one of my better mistakes and not a major problem as we were touring Shropshire.

Cons:

Nothing. Perfect stay.

Pros:

The breakfast was excellent and the staff were very nice

Cons:

The meal in the restaurant. It was so noisy and was extremely busy with large groups and there was also
Live music which wasn't what I expected. I would not have booked the restaurant in hindsight. The food was fine and they wavered the service charge due to us waiting for our booked table and our delayed food but it was not a relaxing atmosphere at all.

Mucho más que un b&B
Pros:

La habitación amplia, luminosa, el confort de la cama y el entorno, la vegetación del jardín y el pueblo en sí, con muchas casas históricas y co encanto. El pub me encantó tanto en la variedad de rincones preciosos donde sentarse a tomar algo como en la comida.

Cons:

Todo estupendo, mantener el precio para poder volver.
