Good stay, didn't exceed our budget, allowed us to visit family and enjoy a bit of wales
Pros:

This was my 3rd visit to this hotel. Near to family. Parking and breakfast and meals if wanted.
It's not 5 star meets our needs and affordable on our budget

Cons:

Always scrambled eggs. A fried egg boiled or poached would be nice.
