Overall stay was brilliant, safe parking and staff could not have been more helpful or friendly. Room was clean , comfortable and warm (weather was awful). Food was not quite up to the very high standards of the hotel or staff but perfectly acceptable.

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.
