Great value.
Pros:

Needed a nice comfortable base for a few days while touring the area on motorbike. The single room in Maxwell Arms did the job perfectly, and I felt confident that the bike was secure overnight round the back of the pub. There's also a petrol station next door, and plenty of places to eat close by.

Cons:

All good. Thank you.

A convenient stop over with limited facilities
Pros:

Comfortable beds in a triple room. Complimentary toiletries were a nice touch and tea /coffee making in room also good.

Cons:

Only one pillow per bed and all three of us would have preferred two. No food on the premises for evening meal or breakfast.
