A great hotel in a fabulous location in mid - Wales.
Pros:

Paul and his wife were most accommodating with our requirements for secure cycle storage and ebike charging.
They run a very comfortable establishment and the location was wonderful. I had a wonderful view of the river from my room.
The breakfast was excellent and with a wide choice, was very good value.
We would happily go back for a longer stay.

Cons:

We should have stayed an extra night to better explore the local routes.

Rather disappointed
Pros:

Location

Cons:

We didn’t realise that the restaurant and bar were not available until we had paid for the room ( which was a priority in our search for accommodation ) and will be closed until May. Perhaps this should be highlighted in the description? £120 for one night, and having to walk into town for dinner seems poor value
