Comfortable room with a lovely view from the 2nd floor via a skylight which was ideal for keeping the room cool on a very warm night. Excellent shower, large towel, all areas very clean and tidy. Steve was very helpful, would stay again.

The Moelwyn hotel is in a perfect location , overlooking the sea and central to all amenities. Unfortunately the hotel is need of some renovation work and modernisation . This didnt bother us too much ,we enjoyed our 2 night stay which was reasonably priced. There is no breakfast or food served . Our room had a lovely sea view.
