Schönes, geschichtsträchtiges Gebäude
Pros:

Alle sehr freundlich.
Schönes, geschichtsträchtiges Gebäude, stilvoll eingerichtet.
Leckeres Frühstück (Continental Buffet und à la carte gekocht).
Nachtessen war auch gut.
Wir haben von dort Ausflüge in den Bannau Brycheiniog Nationalpark gemacht.

Cons:

Das Zimmer war recht ringhörig und die alten, knarrenden Bödrn hört man natürlich.
Fenster konnten nicht geöffnet werden, weshalb sich an den Rahmen Schimmel bildet.
Nicht wirklich sauber.

This is our fourth stay. Much improvement since the refurb and with the friendliness of staff.
Pros:

Breakfast: good choice. Diner: menu could be a bit more extensive.

Cons:

Room 209 had a tatty makeshift bathroom blind as original had been broken. Bed was quite hard. Room door needs attention as very difficult to close from both sides.

How a hotel should be, we'll be back.
Pros:

The overall ambience of the hotel was excellent throughout. There are plenty of public rooms, all furnished comfortably and when weather permits there is plenty of outside space and a great view to go with it. Our room was better than expected with plenty of thoughtful touches. All the staff were friendly and very helpful, nothing was too much trouble.

Cons:

Parking is limited.

Great hotel
Pros:

Beautiful hotel in a perfect location. My room was gorgeous. The staff were so friendly.

Cons:

The restaurant is chaotic both in the evening but particularly so at breakfast. I waited 40 minutes for a cooked breakfast.
Also the dinners are very expensive.

Would rather not.
Pros:

The position and the quirky rooms,

Cons:

Our mattress in room 111 was shocking ! Very lumpy and one particular lump just on my hip. I ended up with a lump and a bruise. I did tell the girl on reception who said it would be changed but had no interest in my poor hip and pain. There had been before we arrived clearly a spill on the stairs. It was not cleaned up in the next two nights we were there which was a disappointment in such a nice hotel.
