Great stay!
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at the Gwesty Seren Hotel. It served perfectly as a base to explore Wales, as it's location is relatively close to most of the activities we wanted to do (hiking, mountain biking, etc.) The rooms were cozy and comfortable, and the staff were super friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The walls seemed pretty thin and it was easy to hear anything outside your room. Most guests are respectful, so it was not a big issue for us, but it also gave us the feeling that we had to be very careful with noise, which sometimes is tricky when traveling with kids/teens.
