Fabulous stay in an idyllic setting. The food is amazing!
Pros:

Lovely friendly staff, amazing food and drink. Excellent value for money. Room was lovely. Location was lovely and quiet and suitable for our needs. Appreciated the fan and complimentary waters.

Cons:

Felt the mattress was a bit too soft and feel the room would benefit greatly from having tea/coffee facilities.

Wish we had been able to stay longer.
Pros:

Everything!
Firstly it’s handy that it’s an Inn as there is plenty of parking and bar with restaurant on site. The area is very beautiful. Very friendly helpful people. Lovely airy clean room with excellent facilities. Lovely large beer garden and patio. Not overcrowded either. Bar food is excellent value for money. Cocktails are cheap.
Breakfast is really good- fresh flat mushrooms and fresh tomatoes and cooked to order. Plenty of choice.

Lovely stay- thanks
Pros:

Lovely location, close to areas we wanted to visit. Good parking. Friendly welcome and a lovely room which was clean, tidy and airy. Tea and coffee making tray in the room.
Bathroom was lovely, again very clean, with a shower over the bath.
We ate at the Griffin and both enjoyed our meals. The evening waitress was very friendly and efficient, checked several times if we needed anything. Meal was a very reasonable cost too.

Cons:

Be aware that some of the rooms are on the top floor, accessed by a very steep staircase. We would recommend asking for a lower room if you have mobility issues.

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.
