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.

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.

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.
