Potentiel à exploiter
Pros:

Emplacement parfait pour rayonner sur la partie nord du Pays de Galles. Le buffet proposé pour le petit déjeuner est très varié. Le personnel est très sympathique.

Cons:

La chambre était propre (malgré quelques toiles d'araignée) mais le matériel était vétuste. Tous les joints de la salle de bain sont à refaire : moisissures. Malheureusement les travaux sous nos fenêtres à 7h30 le matin, même si cela est indépendant de l'hôtel, n'ont pas contribué à rendre la chambre très agréable.
