    It was soundproof, cosy and with comfy bed. A shower and bath sheets were very handy. The stay was very enjoyable because of the unbeatable location of the property.

    Well, Wi-Fi was very poor.

    It was well located for our needs and the breakfast was alright. The shower was good.

    Very tired, tatty and scruffy. No remote control for the TV and one could not be supplied when asked. The furniture was falling apart and tired. The window frames were filthy with mold and the paintwork was flaking off inside and out. The window catch was in danger of falling off and so the window could not be closed properly. The curtains were too thin to keep out light and were not properly hung and did not fit.

    This hotel was convenient for our stopping off point on our journey through Wales. It was on the main road of our route and provided everything we needed for an overnight stay.

    cozy room
    delicious meal
    live music
    limited parking

    Had an amazing one-night stay, enjoying the cozy double room and the delicious evening meal that really hit the spot. The live music and spa treatments were perfect for unwinding after a long day. The only slight downside was the limited parking options, but it didn't take away from our fantastic experience! 😊

    Comfortable, retained it's character and ideally located.

    The evening meal was disappointing, the lamb was tough and overcooked with hardy any vegetables. Definitely not value for money. In contrast the breakfast was excellent. However the tables were sticky even after cleaning

    Consider asking about nearby dining options before 7 PM, as some local restaurants close early.

    Cozy stay with fine views

    I had a nice one night stay with my partner. The food was delish, and we loved the beautiful views from our room. Super friendly staff. Just a heads up, some of the chips were kinda dry with the meal. Can't complain too much about the location though, it's perfect for exploring!
