Convenient to Aberystwyth with free parking. Rooms required an update, particularly in the bathroom, which looked tired. Excellent customer service and friendly staff. Continental breakfast good.

Great place to stay whilst exploring Aberystwyth. Clean and quiet with helpful, friendly staff, nothing was too much trouble. On site, free parking was a bonus.

Overall a good stay. Very friendly helpful staff and an easy distance to walk into town. The restaurant stopped serving evening meals at 8.30pm which we thought was a little early, but the meal we had in the restaurant was excellent!

Came back to my room one afternoon and found the door had not been closed after cleaning. Also the spoons had not been washed.

Ok base for Aber
Great base for Aberystwyth. Was rather cramped for 4 of us (2 adults, 2 teenagers) but was fine. The biggest issue was the bathroom which was really dated. It really quickly streamed up (room4) and the condensation on the mirror ran everywhere.
It's not changed since we last stayed which worries me that it's going to start getting really tired soon.

Good for short stays
Clean room and very comfortable. Not much storage in the room but ok for short visits. Staff were very accommodating and provided great service in the pub attached.

Good as usual
We have stayed here many times and it’s always to our liking. The room and bathroom were clean, comfortable and well equipped. The staff on check in were friendly. We only have one little complaint - when booking online I chose the option to pay on arrival at the hotel, but 24 hours before our booking, the hotel took the money off my card. I know that time was the cut off for free cancellation, but I feel they should have waited until I arrived before taking the payment. I know they had my card details and I knew I would have to pay for one night even if I didn’t show up, but felt it was a bit cheeky taking it before I’d had chance to arrive and pay in person.

Nice stay
Easy check in. Room was clean and comfortable. Bathroom had everthing needed.
Staff in the restaurant friendly and helpful , told it would be busy but relatively quite.
Evening meal was ok, usual pub grub.
