This particular example isn't really a guest house (or a B&B for that 
matter).  Handily, there's an example of a guest house just down the 
street at http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/185207730 .

So what's "guest-housy" about one vs "not-guest-housy" about the other?  
How about a quiet downstairs lounge in one vs a crowded bar full of 
welsh people trying to buy beer in the other, and a nicely maintained 
garden with some bee-hives in it vs a muddy area where the beer festival 
tent was?  FWIW the pub's an excellent pub and the guest-house is an 
excellent guest-house, but they're not really the same animal.  You 
could perhaps make a case for "tourism=bed_and_breakfast" or it's 
slightly less popular cousin "guest_house=bed_and_breakfast" for the 
pub, but that's a different argument.

Cheers,

Andy
