This is an older hotel, in a lovely spot next to the harbour, nice places to walk. The staff were super helpful, getting a taxi for the morning afterwards and the restaurant menu had several great choices for both vegetarian and Celiac (gluten free) clearly marked. A really good choice of dishes all round, to be honest that all sounded excellent for a small hotel, surprisingly! I had the salmon and it was delicious!

We stayed for the week so we could go to the Eisteddfod, they even found a space for us to store the harp. Room was clean and tidy, staff were friendly. We joined in the weekly quiz and weekly bingo. A good location and would stop again.

So what can I say apart from this place is a hidden gem , it looks tired , looks can be very deceiving, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful, the room we had was spacious and very clean , the food incredible , Five stars , loads of choice for everyone, I always find it hard to find a good vegan meal ( normally it’s a burger) not here the menu is amazing, the portions large , all in all definitely worth a stay

The staff were friendly and helpful but the facilities were not great. The shower took ages to get hot and it's then got too hot with almost no midday. Fire alarm kept going off apparently cause steams from the shower. Beds squeaking and broken blinds etc.

Clearly the folks here are working hard to bring this lovely old inn back to life. A few kinks to be worked out, but we enjoyed our night there. The food in restaurant was very good, if a bit limited on item availability.
