Comfortable and easy!

Pros: The hotel was really cozy, the staff were present and attentive. The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. The location was brilliant - right in the village, a stroll from most pubs, and restaurants. (Tina on reception was very friendly!)

60th Birthday stay

Pros: The breakfast was delicious. The room was well equipped

Cons: The grouting could do with replacing, but the bathroom was very clean otherwise. A little bit tired in places

Great hotel in a central location with exceptional food.

Pros: Central location with a range of facilities. Clean, well appointed rooms. Great choice of food throughout the day. Exceptional breakfast and evening meal. Staff were amazing, went above and beyond and are a credit to the hotel.

Cons: We chose the property for on-site parking and its central location. However, parking on site is very limited and we had to park in a council carpark with fees payable outside of 6pm to 8am. There are less than half the number of parking spaces to thenumber of rooms.

We had a marvellous stay and it was a perfect location for our road trip to North Wales.

Pros: Beautiful hotel and location. Very clean and welcoming.

Cons: The mattress was broken on the side so no support when you tried to get out of bed. Not a huge amount of choice for breakfast.

Helen 8/10

United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Pros: The staff were lovely. We bought our dog with us and she got so many biscuits! The room was clean, comfortable and everything worked. We managed to nab a free parking spot, but the hotel's car park is small so there's no guarantee (there's a big pay and display carpark across the road). It's a great location, easy to walk up the high street and down to the river.

Cons: Maybe slightly overpriced, but you're paying for the location.
