Nice vibe stop over
Pros:

The Roade House has a nice vibe with the yoga classes and cafe. My room was spacious and comfortable with a nice gushy shower. Pub and village shop very close by. Worked well as a stop-over as easy access to main routes. Cafe open early for easy breakfast - with big portions.

Cons:

Only minor thing was that I could hear the person in the room above snoring! Not a lot the hotel could do about that though!! 😂

It is a really nice place and other than the hot water situation worth every penny.
Pros:

The location was in a scenic part of the world, really quaint and the room was lovely!

Cons:

The hot water in the sink took 4.5 minutes to come through when I used the sink late at night. I had to laugh as there was a sign that said the hot water could take up to 2.5 minutes which is why I timed it.

It might be something that the ownership should look into if a multiple of reasons.

Pros:

Great location, looks great from the outside

Cons:

Dog hair everywhere, the cleaner obviously just cleans the visible surface of things.
My glasses slid down the side of the sofa cushions, what I found there was totally disgusting.

We would definitely recommend the Roade House
Pros:

The room met our needs as we were only there for one night. Maxine was lovely and incredibly helpful in providing us with a selection of vegan goodies for a party we were going to. Teddy, her little dog, was very cute and kindly showed us to our room. I would have liked more time to check out the yoga studio and infra red sauna. The room we stayed in overlooked the rear of the property so was lovely and quiet

Cons:

The bedside lights were both either on or off.

Lovely stay and will definitely be back.
Pros:

The room was spotlessly clean and very spacious. Friendly staff. Lovely breakfast and the gentleman in the cafe gave excellent customer service.

The bed was quite creaky if you moved which was a bit annoying. However, it was still comfortable.
