Excellent location, great breakfast, a good stay.
Pros:

Friendly and nice staff, great choice for breakfast, free parking, great location.
We didn't manage to use hot-tube (£5 per person), so cannot comment on this.

Cons:

Only thing for improvement is that bed's headboard and the room carpet really needs refreshing/washing.

Good stop over for the price but dont drink the beer.
Pros:

Clean and comfortable bunkhouse. Good facilities but basic all you want when travelling on a motorbike.

Cons:

The beer in the main bar was substandard . The Purple Moose did not taste very nice compared to the Gwydr Hotel and the other IPA seemed to be watered down and taste the same.
Hot water was coming out of the tap in the shower area and this was the only place to fill the kettle. Wasn't sure that was healthy. The mattresses were not that good and you could feel the springs on your back.

Lovely stay. The hotel had all the ambience we wanted.
Pros:

Beautiful quaint accommodation in a perfect spot. Staff were friendly and helpful. Included breakfast was nice and varied. We had to leave early on our last day so kitchen staff prepared a packed breakfast for us to take with us. Off street parking for our hire car was much appreciated.

Cons:

We had an issue with the shower ‘leaking’ onto the floor the first night but we were able to rectify this for the second night.

Bunkhouse good for short stays
Pros:

Cheap to stay, bunkhouse bed was comfortable

Cons:

Communal showers were very small and uncomfortable to use, drains near your first were dirty and had bugs in them so not a pleasant bathing experience, but other than that was fine
