Not the best, not the worst…
Considering it was the last room available on a last minute booking, we were glad to have a place to stay… with a decent breakfast included.

A beautiful historic hotel in a picturesque welsh town. Excellent breakfast and friendly staff. Only complaint is the room was a bit hot and stuffy, even with the window open.

Comfy hotel, good location to explore the area.
Great stay, good location to explore the area. Free parking, good Wi-Fi, good breakfast. The bed was a a little soft but personal preference. The hotel had everything we needed for a comfy family stay. Staff were also all very pleasant. Would definitely stay again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Good points: the location and the parking area, the politeness of the staff. The cleanliness of the room with convenient sockets. I appreciated the fact that at least a few of the staff spoke Welsh (my first language). Bad points: the bed was the most uncomfortable of the 3 hotels in which I stayed this holiday. Perhaps my experience might have been different if I'd paid for a better room.
