Potential for a lovely historic hotel but needs major investment and refit
Pros:

The staff handled our concerns really well and a big thank you to Rhian especially for changing our room. The property has charm, particularly in the bar/restaurant area. We had dinner and breakfast included in our room price and it was well worth it. Dinner was not exceptional but hearty on a damp day.

Cons:

We only stayed one night while travelling through Wales and it was debatable at first whether we'd actually refuse the room. The hotel is very tired and the room facilities dated. Our room looked to have recently been freshened up with paint but it and I suspect all other rooms need a more comprehensive refurbishment. On first glance, the photos on the website do not convey how tired and dated the rooms (and facilities) are. When we stayed in mid-September, it was still relatively warm (well, muggy) and drizzly/wet but I'm not sure how comfortable it would be in much harsher weather conditions.

Coassic Inn accomodation with a great owner and lovely food
Pros:

Great location; lovely owners that couldn’t have done more to make us feel welcome; great food option

Cons:

Ideal venue for a good rest.

Pros:

Lovely place to stay, not your typical hotel with a boring white and grey colour scheme, there was some old furniture in the rooms which added character. We also had a delicious evening meal there and the staff were great.

Cons:

The shower took a long time to get warm and the overhead one wasn't actually plummed in, also the breakfast was a little disappointing, mainly because the bacon wasn't cooked enough. It looked and tasted as if it had been cooked just enough for it not to be raw.

A good overnighter or short stay for touring in Wales.
Pros:

The location in the town was central and I enjoyed mooching around the gift and book shops. The waiting staff were really friendly. The restaurant food was good. There was safe motorcycle parking. The bed was comfy.

Cons:

It was a damp and chilly day and I couldn’t get any heating in the room. The shower was good and hot though. The room was dark but it was their last available single room.

Pros:

Nice location and the breakfast was good.

Would stay here again or recommend
Pros:

Location was good for what we needed

Cons:

The room was terrible, very outdated not like the photographs shown when booking! The bed in room 20 was sloping to the right so was sliding off! Worst nights sleep ever!
