Llechwen Hall Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel. We had bed & breakfast and the breakfasts had a great choice anthe the cooked breakfast was cooked perfectly for us. The hotel was spotlessly clean and staff really helpful. My husband has a disability and is a blue badge holder, walking with sticks. We were very disappointed that the disabled parking was always full being used by obviously abled bodied people. This was because the signage on the two places is very small and very easily missed. This needs to be changed asap as if, a guest was in a wheelchair it would be impossible to ride over the stones from the main or overflow car park. My husband found it difficult to walk from the other car parks with his sticks."
