Friendly staff and great food.
Pros:

Friendly staff and lovely food. Spacious room. Convenient location as we just needed a night along M4 before heading home. Very close to motorway but strange place as constant traffic heading for the motorway so didn’t find a safe place to have a walk. The room wasn’t noisy though.

Cons:

The heavy traffic past the pub.

Overall, a lovely place to stay, and with a little more attention to communication, it would have be
Pros:

We had a lovely stay at The Mason Arms. Our room was spotless, modern, and exceeded our expectations. It was comfortable, well-presented, and had everything we needed.

Cons:

The only disappointment was breakfast. When we came downstairs, the restaurant wasn't open, and there was no one available to speak to or explain what was happening.
