Terrible
Pros:

The beer and food. Staff were very nice.

Cons:

The whole place should be condemned the main building/pub/restaurant is in need of major restoration. The sleeping accommodation was terrible firstly as you walk through the door the smell of damp is bad. The the whole block needs pulling down only good thing to use it for is a cow shed. Can't believe what we paid for it. My fault to be fair didn't do enough research beforehand.

Lovely old pub with great food in a lovely setting.
Pros:

Lovely old pub in a lovely setting. Easy parking, lots of space. Food was delicious and freshly cooked. Good selection of drinks. Locals and guests who were there for holidays using the pub. Room was big, beds were comfortable. Coffee/tea-making facilities in the room. I didn't have breakfast as we were heading home but it is served 8.30-9 and there was a good selection on the menu. It is a beautiful area and there are lots of walks.

Cons:

Nothing
