Great accommodation. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Nice clean rooms with comfy beds. Tasty continental breakfast available when it suits you. Useful parking and good location. Nice bar with friendly locals, restaurant not reopened yet but plenty of food options a short drive away. New owners just taken over so it'll probably get even better as they update more rooms and expand their offering. Will definitely stay there again.

Great location, especially for anyone catching the Holyhead ferry. The property is dog-friendly, which made our stay even more convenient, and there was plenty of free on-site parking available. A practical and comfortable choice for travelers looking for easy access to the ferry.

We had one night here, perfect location for Trearddur bay , the valley and Holyhead. The hotel had just been taken over, the new owner seems excited to bring a new lease of life to the place. Hotel was quiet throughout the night, although the cleaners did disturb us at 8am chatting to each other in the corridor and slamming doors, maybe an idea to have the housekeeping staff start at 9am. The restaurant wasn’t yet open but we popped into the bar for a few drinks, the bar man was very friendly. The owner was very welcoming and I wish him the very best wishes on bringing the place to life again as it has so much potential. I would book again and look forward to the changes to come. And hopefully the restaurant will be up and running so we can enjoy a cooked breakfast.
