Nice place, friendly staff but don't expect the free breakfast part of the package.
Pros:

Good location. Very central. Very helpful staff.

Cons:

The accommodation was booked as having breakfast included. The catering had been taken over by an external company 3 weeks before and as a result we were charged £23 per day for breakfast. They said that Booking.com should have advised us of this and refunded the breakfast amount to us. I can't see any transaction which would show a refund of any type.
The accommodation itself is difficult to find as they have no signs on the outside of the building saying Gales of Llangollen, we had to call them and a friendly member of staff flagged us down as we passed for a third time.
I really don't like to complain but felt it unfair to future Booking.com visitors if they are expecting to get a complimentary breakfast.

Overall very pleasant, thank you.
Pros:

The room was centrally located in Llangollen, near the bridge. It was very well maintained, clean and comfortable. This is an old building and the decor reflected this, with appropriate use of recycled furniture and fittings. Car parking was available although quite cramped.

Cons:

The room was situated over a wine bar so inevitably there were some noises off until closing time. It was very quiet overnight, however. Breakfast (separately chargeable although guests got a discount) was provided in an outdoor covered area by a separate business. It consisted of a "breakfast bagel" in a take out tray - nice enough but not quite the full English/Welsh.

Mini break in the heart of Llangollen
Pros:

Well sited for town. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Bathroom excellent woth bath and shower. Really comfortable bed.

Cons:

Evening food was disappointing but only had 1 evening meal. Excellent breakfast.
Car parking was tight and limited but able to park in nearby street- might be more of a problem in high season.

If you want to stay near the Main Street, it is a better choice.
Pros:

The location is good, the room is clean.

Cons:

As it is on the Main Street, so it is a bit noisy.

Pros:

Very central location. Good price. Very large bright spacious room with a four poster bed.

Cons:

It didn't affect my stay but others might want to know that it is central and the windows are thin so you can hear late night revellers. As I say I expected it and didn't affect my rating

Ok for an overnight.
Pros:

Close to town, restaurants and walks. The breakfast was excellent.

Cons:

Room was very creaky, floorboards and bed. No hangers in the wardrobe. Also very noisy from music bar outside on the Friday night and revellers on the street.
