The room was a really good size with all the amenities you need, bed was really comfortable so I got a good night's sleep, bath room spotless with a very powerful shower all in all fault less. The restaurant was closed and the bar only opened for limited hours when these are fully opened and they are to the same standard as the room I will give this A5 star rating

Basic Clean Accommodation

Overall good stay but basic accommodation. The breakfast was continental which was in a refrigerator downstairs so we had to bring it back to eat in our room which was upstairs this could be difficult for some people. A good base to explore the surrounding areas at a fair price.

Not worth the money

The lady on reception and the cleaner were lovely. The bedding was clean The towels were clean but smelt of bleach. The bedroom area was clean and tidy. The bathroom had loads of mould. Water pressure is low and like the rest of the room and hotel in general it is very dated. Breakfast is a help yourself, cornflakes, orange juice and fruit which is situated in the hall. Staff told us that the hotel closed its doors 18 months ago and has been up for sale since then. The kitchens are closed and the nearest place to eat is in the next town, about a five minute drive away. To keep on top of the bills, 8 rooms in an annex building, are being rented out. We booked for two nights and if we could we would have asked for our money back and left immediately. As it was we stopped for just one night and left. We feel ripped off with the economical description of, " Hotel not working at full capacity" and "Kitchens are temporarily closed!"

The breakfast was a disgrace, The location of the food terrible. If you are locked out of your room at night and you have left your mobile phone in the room, there is no way of contacting the Manager. There was mould and dirt between the bathroom tiles. It took over 5 minutes for the showers to get warm water. The soup was a tablet less than the size of a 50p and opened was in fragments. My feet were touching the bottom of the bed with little room. Getting in and out of the high sided bath was dangerous, there where no grab bars to assist. Traffic noise was a nuisance.

One night in Anglesey

Easy to find with a large parking. Calm room despite in front of the main road but it's far away to be the highway. Clean and spacious room with alll amenities. Great and warm shower. Breakfast consists in a single take away buffet and a fridge with milk and juices, with very few choices, in a tiny room. So don't expect a traditionnal cooked british breakfast.

In Limbo

I have stayed at this hotel before that’s why I rebooked, unfortunately I was told at check in that the restaurant was closed and no food was available. The bar was open until 9.00 pm. I was told breakfast would be available, self service but when I left at 7.00 am this was not available. Overall, good location, good parking, but could be a lot better. The manager explained that they were “trying to retire “. Someone take it on and release it full potential.

This pertains to be a hotel, it is not. It is a room with some cereals, fruit and juice left out supposedly.a continental breakfast. The room is dated and needs refreshing, there is No restaurant though it shows one one website. Hot water ran out one.morning as boiler on a timer as are radiators for drying clothing Overall a very poor value for money establishment,.known to locals as a rip pff I will not be going back Should not be advertised as a hotel by themselves or outside agencies

Lovely friendly experience, we were made to feel very welcome. Room was spacious, beds were ok, room was a bit dated overall. Grab and go breakfast was adequate and easy to get to, with fresh milk and a microwave if needed. Bar was nice and cosy and closes at 9pm.
