Easy to access - plenty of accessible parking - friendly welcome with advice when I asked about local footpaths for an evening walk - and it was gorgeous along the estuary with bird calls and blackberries Comfortable room with hanging space etc. Good breakfast choice including cheese - and, on the second day, gorgeous summer fruits compote with plain yogurt Very helpful pumping up my low pressure tyre with reassurance that it wasn't very low

Clean bedroom and bathroom. Friendly helpful staff. Excellent parking. Basic breakfast ok. Shower over bath was not suitable for elderly, would have preferred a walk in shower, stepping in and over the bath was difficult and needed care.

Great location, especially for anyone catching the Holyhead ferry. The property is dog-friendly, which made our stay even more convenient, and there was plenty of free on-site parking available. A practical and comfortable choice for travelers looking for easy access to the ferry.
