Hold your breath to avoid the smell...

First thing that hits you on arrival is the drainy, greasy 'off' smell in the reception area and stairs. The carpet reminded me of a pub in the 80s with that slightly sticky feel. The room was 2 floors up through odd fire doors, it was a tiny attic room, you banged your head on the ceiling getting out of bed. The room was hot and oppressive so the window was open all night resulting in cars and lorries driving past waking you constantly. We had no view of and mountains. The bathroom reminded us of being on an aeroplane. The shower was tiny with a broken door. The whole place smelled of damp. Plus points: the bed was actually comfortable and the staff were lovely. We honestly could not wait to leave. I do think they try their best and reading some more positive reviews perhaps its a matter of what youre used to as an individual. It reminded me of a cheap guest house we would stay at in Blackpool when I was a kid. The photos dont do it justice- and thats not a compliment.

Beautifully situated in the Welsh hillsides with fantastic views and at the side of a waterfall this 230 year old coaching inn is modern in all requisites and is maintained in superb condition gaining 5/5 in hygiene standards. The hosts are welcoming and friendly and go above and beyond to make their guests feel at home.

We arrived tired after a long day driving, to a warm and friendly welcome. Offered advice that helped us decide on our plans for that afternoon/evening and the next day. Room had the most amazing view. Breakfast was so good! Would recommend this place for sure

Stay was part of a multi stop trip visiting Wales. Really couldn't fault any part. Service was excellent - from check-in to dinner to breakfast. We had dinner at the hotel, which was homemade + tasty. A small bar area as well as a scenic dinning area overlooking the valley. Good WiFi and plenty of parking. Room clean and good condition.

I recently stayed at this property in room 7, and I wanted to share some feedback regarding my experience. Firstly, I’d like to commend the hotel’s excellent location and the warmth of the staff, who made us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. However, I must express my concern about the state of the accommodations, as they are in dire need of refurbishment. Unfortunately, the room was cold and damp, with visible signs of mould that appeared to be painted over. The towels felt damp to the touch, and we found an old blood stain on the valance, dirt under the taps, and peeling flooring in the bathroom. Additionally, the wallpaper in the bedroom was bubbling, and there was a crack in the door concealed by a fire alarm sign. The furniture looked poorly assembled, the bed was quite hard, and the small, high window provided little view and was largely obscured by condensation. While we understand that the building is old and appreciate some creaking floorboards, the overall lack of maintenance was disheartening. I experienced mild allergic reactions, including a chesty cough, which contributed to a restless night. I intended to discuss these issues at checkout, but unfortunately, due to the very early time we chose to vacate, the reception was unattended. While we chose not to voice our concerns during our stay, we felt that without significant updates to the rooms, we could not recommend the hotel to others.

Small hotel ideal for a one night stay

The hosts could not do enough for you. Ideal for a night passing through - good traditional no fuss evening menu. Breakfast was full traditional & plentiful - a great start to the day.
