Very comfortable nights sleep, staff were great and very helpful. Breakfast was delicious. Liked that we could chose a later breakfast time, and that checkout wasn't until 11. Lovely area.

8/10 Very good

The hotel is in a great location, and our room was spacious and comfortable (Millenium Stadium) which was right next to the exit and made it very easy to come and go. We had lunch there and the food was delicious, although the service got very slow after our first course, so we didn't order dessert, although we did want one. We were a little disappointed that the bar closed at 10pm, as by the time we got back from the event in the Cathedral, it was too late to have a nightcap. Breakfast was delicious, and we would highly recommend. All in all, a very nice stay and we would go back.

Wonderful pub in Wales with wonderful accommodation, great staff, and great food in the restaurant. Would stay here again in a heartbeat, with additional dining options nearby. This is what a pub-stay should be.
