Nice quiet pub in a good location.
Pros:

Location perfect for us.

Room was very clean but needed a little bit of maintenance. Some light bulbs not working Shower switch very stiff, bathroom fan flap on outside blowing all night/ very noisy .
Our room number 10 garden room was pitch black outside when leaving and entering the room as no light in the garden.
Staff very nice and helpful
Food in pub was very good but a bar snacks menu woukd have been nice too.
Parking very good.

Cons:

Breakfast not so great. Food was ok. Toaster didn’t work very well only toasting on one side in some slots. No choice of fresh fruit or yogurts.

It was ok
Cons:

Not very well looked after, cleaning not good, broken blind that wouldn’t open to get daylight into room. Bulbs out, kettle needed descaling. Steps outside not lit at night and walkway to pub not lit very well. Seems overpriced for what you had. Bed not particularly comfortable or pillows.

A TOTAL DISASTER-DON'T STAY HERE !!!!
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The room was dirty and SMELLY.At the door were two cigarette ends and a used ear bud.
The room smelt.We now understand that dogs are allowed???????
I had a shower ,(poor) and used a towel to mop up some excess water.THE TOWEL TURNED BROWN.
We were supposed to stay three nights ,but left after one.
We deserve a refund. The place is understaffed and staff are poorly trained.
On the first night we ate in the restaurant......and waited for an age......... DISASTER
