We stayed for the week so we could go to the Eisteddfod, they even found a space for us to store the harp. Room was clean and tidy, staff were friendly. We joined in the weekly quiz and weekly bingo. A good location and would stop again.

So what can I say apart from this place is a hidden gem , it looks tired , looks can be very deceiving, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful, the room we had was spacious and very clean , the food incredible , Five stars , loads of choice for everyone, I always find it hard to find a good vegan meal ( normally it’s a burger) not here the menu is amazing, the portions large , all in all definitely worth a stay

I stayed at this property for a quick overnight stay to catch an early morning ferry across the Irish sea. Very friendly staff at check-in. The room was small, but very cosy with clean sheets and a very clean bathroom. Nice hot on-demand shower in the morning. About a 10-12 minutes from central Holyhead. There is a local bar attached to the property. Very pleasant experience.

It’s a little bit of a hike into the town center. Apparently there was some room renovations going on, so the lobby was full of stacked chairs. Two dogs were ensconced on a couple of the chairs, so the lobby smelled like dog and there was hair all over the carpet.
