Pros:

Area was ok and close to where we wanted to be apart from the room faults it was nicely decorated.

Cons:

There were a few thing bed springs had gone, bedside light would come on then about 1 minute later go off and not come back on, only one bath towel and bath mat in room, no hairdryer in room. Breakfast was ok apart from cold mushrroms and sourbread toast that was hard to cut and could only have orange juice or tea/coffee could not have both.

Good value, but could have been better
Pros:

Check in / check out went well, and dinner was pleasantly nice and ample parking. The room was also a good size and the staff were very helpful when we had questions.

Cons:

Unfortunately the mattress of the bed was just not comfortable, and was well past its prime (we checked out early and went to another accommodation). One of the fans didn't work and nor did it seem the tv. The spray from the shower also had the remarkable ability to get under the shower screen and collect on the bathroom floor and unfortunately there were no decent sized towels to use (the staff gave us extra hand towels) and unfortunately they weren't serving breakfast on the day we were there so we had to find another place which the staff recommended but it was extra expense. The steps up to the room were also quite slippery due to the rain.

Good enough for one night, no than that though!
Pros:

Nice welcome from staff, quiet location, spacious room, clean and an amazingly powerful shower!

Cons:

A little noisy from movement upstairs as we were on the ground floor. Also random beep occurred from somewhere outside every 5 seconds or so, not sure what that was - wife and myself got used to that and soon fell asleep. The exterior door to our room “ocean” didn’t seem to stop the draught very well, could see light from under the door, so blocked it with a spare pillow.

Brilliant comfortable welcoming cosy stay with great staff and food. Good value for money.
Pros:

The owner was absolutley amazing, he was friendly and welcoming and went out of his way to recommend amazing food and also a brilliant day out, we followed his advice for a train ride and boat to the lake and had a brilliant day. The food was absolutley delicious (im still dreaming of the cajun chicken!!) and all staff were friendly, helpful. Just made the overall stay really enjoyable for us. Thanks you the crofters team we cant wait to come back!!

Cons:

I dont want to be negatative but only friendly advice would be is the bathroom needs a good deep clean and the tiles could do with a good regrout however, for the price i dont want to complain but it would be an easy fix to make the stay more enjoyable.

Offered what I needed, but needs a tidy up - bonus of free parking
Pros:

Lovely coastal road journey, easy to find & park. Relaxed atmosphere. Rooms were separate from the main pub (which I didn’t use) so pretty quiet and self contained. Bed and bedding were clean and super comfy. Good shower. Room was excellent in all ways for my needs and I will use it again (I just really want them to give it a deep clean). Friendly staff.

Cons:

The place was superficially clean (bedding/towels/cups/refreshed teabags etc) but was deeper grubby and/or scruffy in corners, skirtings, and surfaces were quietly sticky. There were light bulbs over the dresser missing and the back of the tv remote also. Give this a good clean, and some decorative update and it’s a lovely spacious en-suite private room with all you need.

I don’t have all night!! I refer you to the above.
Pros:

Breakfast not available. The evening meal was excellent and so was the service. The building and its surroundings are very pleasant.

Cons:

B’fast to be all week not just w/e.other than that I liked everything. My wife wasn’t with me but if she’d come, as a disabled person she couldn’t have managed the non-walk-in shower.

A reasonable stay in a comfortable room at a good price, thank you.
Pros:

My room was generally tidy, with a comfortable bed and a reasonable en-suite.
Staff were helpful and courteous.
