Clean and comfy
Pros:

Room was clean and comfortable.

Cons:

It was a bit noisy but it was Saturday night and we had been warned about the live music so it wasn’t a surprise

Good value for money
Pros:

The staff were really helpful and friendly.
There was a buzzy vibe about the place.
The bed was comfortable
The location was great
It was quiet at night, in spite of the rooms being over a pub, though it was a Monday night.
Good to have a big bath as well as a shower.
The bedroom and bathroom were very clean

Cons:

The motion sensor light on the way to the bathroom was very annoying as it is very bright and wakes others up!
We struggled to make the larger shower head work, the smallest one did, but was a bit weak!

Good if you don't need an invoice
Pros:

The bed was comfortable, not expecting more than that for the price.

Cons:

The manager was really grumpy and I asked several times for an invoice through the Booking app and directly to them by email and they never came back to me.

Pros:

Clean comfortable room in a central location, tad noisy in the evenings with the pub below but expected that going in and didn't prove to be an issue.

Staff very helpful and accommodating.

Pros:

A terrific location in the heart of this lovely town. A vibrant pub which makes for a great atmosphere if you want a bit of more lively stay. The room is very comfortable. A good shower with clearly labeled contents which actually work.

Cons:

A breakfast option would be good but no big deal plenty of tea and coffee and cafes in the square. No complaints.

Stay if you want to party - I wouldn't stay again.
Pros:

Convenient location for the purpose of our visit. Room was very clean and bed was comfortable.

Cons:

VERY loud - got almost no sleep the two nights we stayed. We were warned when we checked in, but by then it was too late. VERY hot - we had to shut the window to try to cut the noise and one fan was not enough to cool the room. In addition, while the hotel is smoke free, smoke from the pub and patio came up through the room like a chimney. As I am allergic, this contributed to my feeling ill - along with a total of about 8 hours sleep over 2 nights.
