I needed a quick night stop on the way to Aberystwyth so this was only going to be a B&B stop. However, points of note are: (1) Friendly staff (2) In need of a good update - rooms OK but clearly in need of TLC (3) Room had a few places of thick dust and cobwebs (4) Hotel in the main had "stuff" in the corridors and things piled-up in certain rooms which were visible

We stayed one night on our way to the coast. There was a walm, helpful greeting and our room was clean and cosy. Evening meal was excellent.

I recently stayed at this property in room 7, and I wanted to share some feedback regarding my experience. Firstly, I’d like to commend the hotel’s excellent location and the warmth of the staff, who made us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. However, I must express my concern about the state of the accommodations, as they are in dire need of refurbishment. Unfortunately, the room was cold and damp, with visible signs of mould that appeared to be painted over. The towels felt damp to the touch, and we found an old blood stain on the valance, dirt under the taps, and peeling flooring in the bathroom. Additionally, the wallpaper in the bedroom was bubbling, and there was a crack in the door concealed by a fire alarm sign. The furniture looked poorly assembled, the bed was quite hard, and the small, high window provided little view and was largely obscured by condensation. While we understand that the building is old and appreciate some creaking floorboards, the overall lack of maintenance was disheartening. I experienced mild allergic reactions, including a chesty cough, which contributed to a restless night. I intended to discuss these issues at checkout, but unfortunately, due to the very early time we chose to vacate, the reception was unattended. While we chose not to voice our concerns during our stay, we felt that without significant updates to the rooms, we could not recommend the hotel to others.

Small hotel ideal for a one night stay The hosts could not do enough for you. Ideal for a night passing through - good traditional no fuss evening menu. Breakfast was full traditional & plentiful - a great start to the day.

Top class hospitality From securing my motorcycle to a bacon roll to go as I wasn’t feeling hungry made to feel like it was a home away from home.
