The staff were friendly and helpful . I appreciated the lift to St Elvans Church since getting a taxi proved difficult. The room was very comfy and tidy (perfect. The bar menu offered good options.
I noticed a limited number of vegan options for breakfast. More vegan spreads or alternatives to dairy butter would enhance the experience.
