Just what we needed for our trip and well looked after.
Pros:

The breakfast was very good and you can have exactly what you want. Food is available in the evenings on some days and they do a Sunday dinner. There is a bar, which is open depending on business.

The entrance from the carpark to the rooms is quite level, only 1 step. There is a staircase to the lower floor, for dining room and bar, with various steps after but you can walk around if you wish. I walk with a stick and managed well.

The accommodation is close to Lampeter, where you have restaurants, takeaway, cafe's, pubs, Sainsbury's and a Premier shop. There is also a Nisa and a Pizza and Kebab place over the road from the Hotel and a pub in easy walking distance.

Cons:

I found the bed low but this perhaps has to do with a bad back. The matress could use a topper.
