Another Wonderful Stay.
Pros:

We have just returned from another lovely stay at this outstanding hotel .
We were once again greeted with such a
warm welcome. Room 1 was beautiful and spotless .Throughout our stay staff were engaging and very attentive. We must mention once again Alun and Tom , who are such a credit to the Hotel. They make sure you are well looked after and interact so well .We must mention the chef who prepared two excellent meals for us with attention to detail .Suzanne on reception always makes time to have a chat when you pass by about your day .We are looking for an excuse to visit again!

Very easy walking distance to town. Expect to walk upstairs to bedrooms. Very clean reception staff was loveky

Cons:

At breakfast we sat a full 10 -15 mins before anyone spoke to us or offered a drink another couple came in after us and was served before us. The woman doing breakfast should have had help seemed like only the older lady who was busy doing stuff.
