Best hotel in Wales

This is one of the nicest hotels I've stayed in, the room was expansive and beautiful, the shower was like being under a warm waterfall, the staff were so friendly and helpful. The breakfast was divine even if my eyes were bigger than my belly. I would highly recommend staying here and I might do so again in future.

Room was clean and comfortable, bathroom was clean and looked after. The only negative was at breakfast in the pub, the cups looked like dishwasher hadn’t cleaned them good enough.

Absolutely incredible stay. The room was the cosiest - I could have slept for a week straight. The food was 12/10, massive portions and incredibly fresh. The best was the staff! Thanks all! From check in to check out, everyone was great to have a chat with. I can’t wait to come back.

A fabulous, friendly, spotless hotel with named parking space on arrival. We had a fantastic meal in the evening and breakfast included is amazing - everything about the hotel is amazing!
Melanie, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The overall experience was ok, nothing special. It’s definitely no a 5 star hotel. We also had dinner and breakfast in the hotel and overall it was decent. At the arrival, no one explained as where the parking was, the WiFi and how to enter the property after 8 pm. At the check out no one was there and we just left the key to the chef

Fantastic pub! Room and bathroom clean with all facilities needed. Had a fantastic roast on the Sunday with a choice of 3 meats. Evening meals good too with a varied menu. Breakfast also great with an extensive selection. Staff made it memorable with their friendly, helpful approach. Look forward to retuning.
