Very Comfy Bed
Pros:

Its location for me was perfect and I have stayed there several times, Room 5 was well maintained and had everything I needed especially a very comfy bed, had a great nights sleep, nice shower, towels and soap provided, good sized tv and the room was very clean and spacious.

Cons:

Its NOT that I didn't like anything its just to make fellow travellers aware, To get to your room you have to climb up stairs to the second floor, Your room is above a very popular pub and next to a main road,
None of the above was an issue for me as I had a great stay.

Great place. A little confusing.
Pros:

Massive rooms.
Comfy bed.
Clean ensuite

Cons:

TV didn't connect to anything WiFi or aerial
Booking.com doesn't tell you to go to the spice garden over the road to get the key. There is a note on the door but you can't park outside to see the note.

It is convenient when all you want is a shower food and a bed.
Pros:

The location was good for our mode of transport. It's on the main lands end to John o groats cycle route. There are nearby shops and places to eat.

Cons:

Wasn't secure. It appeared that anyone had access to the room keys on entering the property.
Next to a noisy road
