Poor attitude

The shower did not work, when I reported it the young lady told me that it had been brought to het attention before. She then went on to assure me that it worked (it didn't)

Disliked: Amenities
This was to be an accessible room for wheelchair. It is not connected to the restaurant. Had to get out of the taxi wheelchair together go into the restaurant to sign in. They were very busy, and then have the taxi wait so that we could unload our luggage back into the restaurant and I could track across the parking lot Where they finally brought my luggage later because the gal checking it in also works in the restaurant very inconvenient. End of the hall last room view of some parking and trees and one little window felt like I was in a Prison cell.NO phone and mine wouldn’t work in there. Finally got through with the Wi-Fi to let them know I needed to move as it was so far away from anything I could not get there by traveling in my wheelchair. This place is not appropriate for me or anyone else like me and yet they said it was. I requested to get out of there as soon as possible. The first day could not reach them until late that night. They finally came over and I left the next day still charged me for three days even though I tried to let them know I could not stay there and it was inappropriate for me. Very unhappy, and it cost me a small fortune

Convenient to Aberystwyth with free parking. Rooms required an update, particularly in the bathroom, which looked tired. Excellent customer service and friendly staff. Continental breakfast good.

Ideal location for spending some time in Aberystwyth.Nice, clean, spacious rooms with comfy beds, also most importantly, comfy pillows. Good quality food especially the fish and chips. If this is something that you enjoy be prepared, the fish is what you would call a "whale on a plate".Also recommend, the cherry and apple crumble, WOW.

Overall a good stay. Very friendly helpful staff and an easy distance to walk into town. The restaurant stopped serving evening meals at 8.30pm which we thought was a little early, but the meal we had in the restaurant was excellent!
