Fabulous
Pros:

The breakfast was good, the staff were friendly and attentive. The location was fabulous overlooking rolling hills and lots of sheep. Also, no problem with parking as there is a car park opposite as well.

Cons:

There is nothing I didn’t like apart from the heat as it was in the middle of a heatwave

Love this place. Highly recommend
Pros:

Love coming here! Wonderful position...so close to town centre and other attractions, but peaceful and scenic. Staff are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Always stay here when visiting Wales!

Cons:

Maybe a little fridge in room, so that complimentary water is cold, in summer and a small bottle of milk would be lovely in fridge too

A great stay
Pros:

Super location, central to many North Wales towns and attractions.
Rural setting
I requested a room at the back of the hotel for quiet. It is on a busy road.
Good parking.
Our room upper floor- Overlooking the field of sheep and mountain view.
Warm welcome, attentive and friendly team who work well together to provide a comfortable stay.
The room was clean, no aircon but fan provided.
It would benefit from a net or voil curtain to keep out insects.
Food is homely, hot and well presented. Good choice and fair price.
We will be back.

Oldy worldly place
Pros:

Interesting place to stay full of character with superb staff so helpful and happy faces.
The countryside views are beautiful but on a busy 60mph road so can't really say peaceful.
I stayed in room 1 very nice large room ground floor facing the road & car park with a wet room which overflowed everytime used which was annoying as had to use all towels and making slippy.. Which is no good for a disabled person.
Cleaners everyday were friendly and good.
Food superb.. Excellent choice I booked BB stayed 5 nights bit disappointed as found out afterwards could have been cheaper. Check prices on booking. Com.
All in all have a lovely stay visiting beautiful places.
