Lovely hotel in a stunning location with great staff and decent food.
Pros:

Stunning property overlooking Cardigan bay. Not many better locations in the UK. Rooms weren’t big but bed was comfy and the en-suite had a good shower and the sea view rooms are just a joy to wake up to.

Cons:

There is nothing not to like about this place. It may look slightly dated on the outside as you drive up but you will be pleasantly surprised when you enter.

Relaxing and comfortable for a short break.
Pros:

Wonderful location, with stunning views, especially if you have a room overlooking the sea. Great location next to a good golf course.
Nice restaurant overlooking the bay, where if it’s calm you have a good chance of seeing dolphins.
Food excellent and staff friendly and efficient.

Cons:

The spa is lovely and very relaxing, but the pool is very small and octagonal, so not much good if you want to have a good swim

Pros:

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and it was very comfortable all staff was extremely lovely and the place was very clean

Cons:

We feel like the food option should be explored. Your hotel is very high-end an amazing but the food menu did not live up to the standards. It could have had better options rather fish and chips, burger steak, pie and mash. it would be something you'd find in a pub
