We stayed in the four poster room which was huge and a really stunning, comfortable room, it had everything we needed and the shower is amazing. The only downside was this room is located above the coach house, I had to call down the reception twice around 11:30pm as the music was booming through to the room I suspect due to it being an older building as it didn't seem overly loud inside the pub, but this was solved and turned off and they were very helpful on the phone. We also had a similar problem in the morning as everyone has their breakfast in the coach house so you can hear everything.
