Overall stay was brilliant, safe parking and staff could not have been more helpful or friendly. Room was clean , comfortable and warm (weather was awful). Food was not quite up to the very high standards of the hotel or staff but perfectly acceptable.

Best hotel in Wales

This is one of the nicest hotels I've stayed in, the room was expansive and beautiful, the shower was like being under a warm waterfall, the staff were so friendly and helpful. The breakfast was divine even if my eyes were bigger than my belly. I would highly recommend staying here and I might do so again in future.
