Beautiful modernised Welsh inn with a warm welcome.
Pros:

I liked the location and how the inside has been modernised to create a light and airy modern space whilst keeping some of the original features. I also liked it was a local inn that the community used and along with the staff made me feel very welcome. The bedroom comfortable and spacious for an overnight stay, like the extra touches that were added. The food was excellent, freshly cooked and served with a smile. Overall a gem of a find and very pleased with the stay.

Cons:

There was nothing I did not like.
