A good stopover.
Pros:

Lovely staff,friendly and attentive.
A nice welcome.Room clean and comfortable.Big shower.Great evening meal and breakfast.

Cons:

Have stayed before but this time our room was at the front of the pub so facing the road...traffic noise all night!
Also the light on the smoke alarm illuminated the whole room so didn't have a good sleep at all.

The Kestrel
Pros:

The room was a lovely size and very clean. The staff were amazing too and we're very accommodating when we had lunch with family and friends before we left.

Cons:

The bed was too hard for my liking. The floorboards creaked and the walls were thin but it's an old building so that to be expected. We had ear plugs so didn't effectour sleep.
