Great would recommend the stay
Pros:

Beautiful rooms, good breakfast

We couldn’t get any food as they had a party booked in, we had planned on eating there. But we understood with having a party booked in so had to go elsewhere.

Overnight stay in lovely pub
Pros:

Very comfortable well equipped bedroom.
Lovely beer garden with great views.
Friendly staff.
Good food choices for dinner.

Cons:

Lack of food choices at breakfast despite being asked to pre order the night before - 2 of the pre ordered items were not available at breakfast so this was disappointing.

Pros:

Nous avons pris cet hébergement pour son emplacement sur notre route vers le nord du pays de Galles. La chambre a été rénovée récemment visiblement, tout est en parfait état et le lit très confortable. Très (trop) grande salle de bains.

Cons:

Petit déjeuner très moyen. La chambre est neuve mais ambiance froide. Pas au niveau de nos autres hébergements au pays de Galles pour un prix plus élevé.
