Pros:

Location and clean.

Cons:

In error i had made a double booking on Booking.com, and even while the hotel was not fully booked, they refused to make any compromise. I found the staff member i dealt with uncompromising and unsympathetic with the Manager sitting at the bar and not saying anything. I had received notice of a booking from the Dragon Inn in two seperate emails beore the payment deadline. I assumed it was a duplication as it never referred to bookings or gave any references. This is not unusual today. Had they said bookings, i would have cancelled one of them when i had the opportunity to do so. Booking.com weren't helpful either, saying it was with the Dragon Inn to sort out. I do take responsibility too for the issue, but it was not clear from either side that i had made a double booking at different dates in my name. Some understanding would have been nice. I therefore took the 2 rooms and slept in both to compare. Room 7 was ok, but a very soft and very uncomfortable bed, where it felt some of the springs had gone. You are also above the kitchen so with the window open, you can hear some of the noise as they set up for breakfast. Room 19 in the Annex on the ground floor was noisy. You can hear every movement from the room upstairs through creaking floorboards, and the noise when people go upstairs. A barking dog didn't help either.

Pros:

L'endroit où se trouve l'hôtel est exceptionnellement bien placé. Bâtiment magnifique personnel, très sympathique. Qui a fait tout son possible pour nous aider aussi bien pour les repas que pour les autres questions à savoir que nous ne parlons pas anglais. La nourriture était très bonne. Et la chambre confortable. Gros plus de cet endroit un parking. Pas facile d'accès, mais quand on sait conduire il y a pas de problème.

Pros:

Lovely location and the room was bright and clean however the fan from the kitchen which was right below our room was very noisy.
We booked because it included breakfast only to be told full English was extra.
2 of the party booked full English which was very poor however the contintal was very good but an addtional charge for a fresh cappachino was a little much.
It is advertised as dog friendly which it was but we where ejected and moved 5 yards to eat the staff member was rather rude.
The front of house eastern european lady and the bar men where absolutley delightful.
I would stay again as it us a beautiful location and the garden is lovely but it needs to be made clear that there are alot of stairs and breackfast is additional i would rate it 6 out of 10

Good quality place to stay in a central location
Pros:

Centrally located in a really well serviced village. The Inn is a great all rounder offering good lodgings, an excellent buffet breakfast and lovely evening meals. For an off-peak midweek stay, on-site parking is easy and there is no noise from the pub and its environs. Walking routes start very close to the village.

Cons:

Having said parking and a lack of noise were positives, bear in mind this may not be the case on all occasions. The car park is small and the entrance very narrow whilst the rooms are adjacent to a large beer garden or directly over the Inn. However, we had a fantastic stay in mid-September.

Poor value and did not meet the expectations of a superior bed and breakfast.
Pros:

Room was small but clean and well kept.
Dinner was good.
Hotel/pub has good atmosphere and well situated.

Cons:

We booked and paid for a "superior" room with breakfast. The room we were given was not "superior" but a small clean standard. There was no window. There was restricted headroom in bedroom and bathroom. There was only the bed to sit on. In discussion with the manager we were told that the sole criteria for a room to be "superior" is that it has a raised shower head as opposed to a tap fitment. In our opinion this sole feature does not make a room superior. The included breakfast food consisted of only cereal and toast, therefore not even a proper "continental". Other items were available at extra charges. Having paid for a superior package, we were very disappointed and did not receive value for money. No conciliatory gesture or compensation was offered by the manager or the "owners" in a subsequent email exchange.
