Nice staff, but room needs improving, as does the communication
Pros:

Tammy and her husband were great, friendly and helpful, and looked after us at breakfast and Tammy again at dinner. We had a very delicious plant based Penang curry (some tofu in it for protein would have been good, and a slightly larger portion). Good coffee at breakfast. Small car park at the rear for residents. Good location.

Cons:

There needs to be a luggage rack and more hanging space, particularly for coats and walking/climbing clothes + somewhere to hang wet clothes (it rains a lot in Wales and people climb the hills!). The lighting is rubbish for doing makeup.
We said in advance (and reminded when we checked in) we wanted an early breakfast as we had to leave early on the Saturday but that was not passed on. Fortunately we anticipated and had taken our own breakfast, but we shouldn't have had to in a hotel! more plant-based/healthy breakfast choices would be good. The apples had been on the dish a while. The cooked breakfast took AGES to arrive, maybe 45 mins. Breakfast staff very apologetic. The bathroom window doesn't open and the bedroom blind is partially broken.

Great hotel in a perfect location
Pros:

I booked the Saracen's Head for myself and 4 mates to stay after completing the 3 peaks challenge and it was absolutely perfect. All the staff were extremely helpful and friendly, the rooms were great, beds comfy, and the food at the bar was excellent. Thanks for a great stay, I wish we could have stayed longer.
