good
Cons:

Good breakfast but the tea/coffee provision was very poor. Expect proper coffee or a teapot to make tea in, not a small cup with instant coffee or a tea bag.

It was a great stay and value for money

Bear in mind when you book you are staying in a pub so you might hear pub noises in pub times.

Enjoyed our stay in this facility and will recommend to others.
Pros:

The room was great, large, well appointed and comfortable with an equally attractive, very clean ensuite. All the furnishings of a high grade quality

Cons:

Not much of a view over looking a housing estate and a flat roof. The dining are we were directed was at a basement level with no phone signal (some might prefer this lol)

Good place to stay, would definitely recommend and we would go there again.
Pros:

We have stayed before because the location is good, the staff are friendly and helpful. The room was spotlessly clean with everything you need, apart from bottled water which tends to be the norm in most hotels. The food is very good with an excellent choice on the menu. The young waiting/serving staff in the restaurant in the evening worked really hard and were very attentive to our needs, they paid particular attention to asking about allergies.

Cons:

The only downside was at breakfast the poor waitress was run off her feet, could have done with having another member of staff on duty as too much for one person.The restaurant was quite busy and breakfast took a long time to arrive.
