Great location! Room was comfortable and nicely done; the bathroom lacked stable shelf space but was otherwise just fine. Breakfast is well done (and crowded on the weekend!) and the free off street parking is a huge plus!

The bed & Breakfast atmosphere was excellent. The rooms were clean, secured 24/7, including parking. And, the authentic Welsh breakfast was wonderful. Additionally, staff went out of their way to notify, pack and ship a computer tablet that we left behind. The manager Carl was professional, competent and just plain nice! All in all, a quality experience worthy of a repeat visit.
