charming stay!
double bedtea facilitiesroom plugsfull restaurant
the room included a fantastic large double bed, a bath, and a shower. there was also a tv, an iron, and a hairdryer. coffee and tea facilities were available along with a fan, amazing. i found plenty of plugs in the room!!!
the pub and restaurant were constantly full, except in the morning. we weren't allowed to reserve a table for dinner after 6 pm. i found a table squashed in a corner of the bar, busy and chaotic.

the room was far too small. the window overlooked some unattractive roofing. it felt warm and stuffy, despite the fan provided not helping much. the bathroom also felt cramped. i believe the room cost was excessive given these issues. i expected a far better standard.

fantastic locationprerecorded answerphone
The location was fantastic.
The phone contact provided was a pre recorded answerphone in Welsh first and then in English. It rambled on for over five minutes and then advised that they don't answer it before hanging up.

Excellent Stay in Historic Inn
convenient locationcomfy bedsmall room
I appreciated the convenient location with easy access. The room was a good size with a comfy bed. The staff were efficient at check-in and responded promptly to my questions. The staff enhanced my experience with their attentive and professional diligence.
I found the room to be a bit small. The windows faced the playground, and the seating area was right above the restaurant tables. This resulted in a stuffy and hot room, even with a fan running.
