Pros:

For the age of the property it is well presented. I took advantage of sitting on the veranda which was pleasant.

Cons:

I understand that the accommodation is above a pub, and expected a certain amount of noise. However on both nights, after ten pm, it sounded as if very heavy furniture was being moved around for a good 15 min
At 7am on the Sunday morning someone was going in and out of the rooms on my corridor, singing at the top of her voice...
