Awesome place with its friendly staff, great restaurant, and a cozy lounge area. I still remember how they helped me find my lost ring during my first stay. I'll be back for Easter!

The location offers easy access to shops and eateries right in the heart of the historic town, perfect for exploring on foot. The family suite on the top floor features beautiful original beams, a spacious modern bathroom, and lovely views that enhance the overall experience.
Parking is limited to about eight spaces, often occupied by staff, which can leave guests scrambling for alternative spots. The room’s cleanliness was subpar, with leftover rubbish not picked up and used mugs left unrefreshed. such oversights left a less-than-fresh impression. The atmosphere was somewhat lacking in charm, feeling more like a pub with rooms above rather than a dedicated hotel experience. some amenities were absent, such as air conditioning, contributing to an uncomfortable heat during the day. The distance to the breakfast bar proved unwieldy when balancing items, making the experience less convenient than anticipated.

Cosy room, beautiful view, fantastic food. I loved the charming paintings on the wall, and the lovely view of the church outside truly enhanced my experience, making this a perfect location for exploring the area with easy access to hiking trails.
Cannot find any fault.

Request the full Welsh breakfast. it looks hearty and is likely much better than the lighter options.

We really enjoyed our stay, especially lounging by the lovely garden area and unwinding in the cozy family suite. It was a nice bonus to have some fun board games available for the kids to play with! Just a heads up, the parking situation was a bit tight, so plan ahead if you’re driving. 😊

great stay but could improve check-in process
The room provided stunning views over the town square, making it a delightful place to unwind. The breakfast was abundant, and the variety of dining options satisfied our tastes.
The check-in process felt a bit disorganised, which was surprising given the hotel's otherwise efficient operations.
