The service is amazing, they're all so friendly. The kitchen is excellent and there are often events in the hotel going on. On my arrival they had live music by local bands. Felt home in the area immediately. Don't be fooled by the 2-star rating, it's a simple facility but with everything else, they're a 4-star for me!

Clearly the folks here are working hard to bring this lovely old inn back to life. A few kinks to be worked out, but we enjoyed our night there. The food in restaurant was very good, if a bit limited on item availability.

By mistake i booked a double bedroom for “1” instead of two people. When we arrived they weren’t sure if they would even give us the room. We insisted on at least seeing the room to see if it would be a fit for us or not as we had a very long trip. When we got there the bed was great for us. So we said we would take the room, its not a problem for us. They continued to say they have to charge us for the extra person anyways, it was only 10£. But We weren’t getting anything extra though. Its the same room, same bed. We didnt even get extra towels, breakfast is not included either?? So the extra charge was for the air we breathed? I still see no reason for charging extra for a person just because.. I would understand if breakfast or some service was included for the person but there was none.. Overall, the hotel was fine, the bedroom was good space, bathroom seemed newly fitted, everything was clean, but there was couple of smudges on the duvet.. Tv didnt work they were in the process of replacing it. Seems like there is some renovation going on the property. The stay was alright. Minus the incident during check in.

I arrived arr. 1pm, much earlier than normal hotel checkin time. As I came from West coast USA, I was exhausted due to time difference and having not a good sleep before the day, just about to collapse. The young lady led me to a back room as my room-to-be was not cleaned yet. It was not a usual guest room, a kind of a special room with sofa. I just fell in sleep on the sofa until she came to get me. Because of that short sleep, I could get my normal sense back. This hotel is close to the sea. you can eat breakfast watching the boats floating on the peaceful sea. They have quiz nights, something night (can’t remember), gathering village people in their salon.This place is not a Hilton nor any big name hotel, but all the people working there are really nice folks, very kind, friendly, and sincere. I am going back there after 3 days in other city. People who love sincerity, old days’ way of life will love this small friendly guesthouse.

Unkempt Disapointment

A three day stay. We were told this was unusual as most were one night stopovers waiting for ferry. On this basis you’d like to think you’d get allocated a reasonable room. I can’t speak for the rest of the hotel, only room 20. External room next to staff rooms? Ground floor, had to keep the curtains drawn all time and windows closed due to people outside the room talking. Very frustrating on hottest night of the year. No aircon and no fan. There seems to be a running joke about it being fawlty towers. Soon wears thin when you’ve paid £300 for a room. Breakfast is extra and we passed after one try. Very average. Fab breakfast just down the road at South Stack visitors centre. Eve meal , average, so didn’t bother again. Go over the road at Langdons , fantastic meal and service. The outside of the Hotel could be fabulous with a bay view, but it’s unkempt, full of weeds and rubbish. Dustbin and broken furniture outside our room was a nice touch. We would have checked out, but the town was busy and no other rooms were available. Such a shame as this hotel has great potential but needs so much attention paying to details. We enjoyed the area but won’t be returning to this hotel.
