A welcome place
Pros:

They have looked after me for at least four visits and although the festival is moving and we probably won't be back I can recommend The R Inn

Friendlier than the Ritz
Pros:

It was convenient for what we were doing that weekend and it was easy to find. The room was clean and as advertised. The staff were friendly and helpful

Cons:

The rooms weren’t cleaned. I was aware that this would be the case and it wasn’t a problem but it would have been good not to have to phone housekeeping for milk etc.

Just an ok stay
Pros:

Great location for our local needs and relatively cheap.

Cons:

My single bed mattress was extremely soft and thus, uncomfortable.
There was black mould on the shower tile grouting and the bathroom smelled stale
