Stayed in the older part of the hotel, bed is really comfortable, white crisp linen and towels, bathroom is clean with good shower, great breakfast with a nice bar that has proper Welsh ale, staff are friendly and helpful; carpets need a bit of tender loving care. Would stay again and recommend to others. ##### Kevin Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jodi 4 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities All we needed for a quick trip.

Breakfast was good. ##### Colin Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 27 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Good location. Nice breakfast and easy parking Old property with smell. My room just above the bar, keeps noisy until mid-night. Stay one night for road trip so this is definitely fine for us. Buffet breakfast is good. Easy parking and good location which very closed to shopping centre. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ce407fb1-ceb4-49f2-b17e-aeadbdb86a8a-1753594503254.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/252f7533-64ce-4093-a197-5df4b5b58442-1753594503390.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nigel 28 Aug 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Great staff I was in the rooms below.
