Pleasant one night stay, rubbish water pressure.
One night stay en route to Cardigan. The single room was spacious enough for me with a big tv, nice bathroom and a nice big window letting in natural light. The floors were a bit creaky in and outside the room and the water pressure wasn't great. Other than that it was a lovely stay with helpful and friendly staff.

Water pressure in room was rubbish, bath didn't hold water. Very noisy heating system.
Staff were friendly enough hotel was clean and well presented.

Nice room, comfy bed and great staff. We had dinner in the restaurant and the food was hot and tasty. Only one small issue with water pressure in the shower but I would stay again despite that.

Great experience
Lovely service from the moment we set foot in the hotel to leaving from the friendly staff. Check in was quick and easy. Our room on the second floor was clean, spacious and well equipped. The bed was super comfy and the room was quiet at night, even though we overlooked the street. The bathroom was very clean with lovely toiletries. We had an evening meal which was delicious and also breakfast which was equally as good. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.

My wife’s parents got married in this property 70 years ago, so we decided to stay here as part of our family history trip.
The building is from the 1700s but it has been updated and has a ton of charm.
The key boxes were all checked: the bed was comfortable, it was quiet at night and the water pressure was good.
A full welsh breakfast was included.
We also had dinner in the restaurant. It was a bit pricey but tasty.
The staff was wonderful: hard working and attentive.
Would definitely stay here again.

A good upgrade to the hotel. Rooms comfortable. This was the hottest day of the year and a fan in the room would have been helpful
