We loved this hotel, in the lovely quaint village of Llanfair, less than 10 min drive from Aberegele High St. Staff were fantastic, and we had an evening meal and breakfast, which were both delicious. The bed was super comfy. Loved the local walks highlighted in the book in the room. Only downside was that there was a bit of a smell in the room, and mould round side of bath. But it didnt put us off, would definately book again 😊.
