Thank you. Really enjoyed our stay
Pros:

This hotel is good value for money. One night stay, very comfortable. Small bathroom, but very glad to have private bathroom as older pubs often have shared facilities. A total win for my $$

Cons:

All good, maybe more PowerPoint's for charging devices, and missed bedside lamps
