Everything you could possibly need when you need it most! We stayed here recently, very last minute due to needing a place to stay to visit my mother in law in intensive care…and the owners provided the best care they possibly could. The room was cleaned everyday, breakfast was spot on and you could have anything you wanted with no trouble at all and the owners provided the best emotional and physical care they could for my wife. They always checked in with her, even getting out of bed to let us in late after a very draining day at the hospital. Genuinely the best couple and we fully appreciate everything they did for us!

As part of a tour of Wales on a motorcycle with a friend.Landlord helped us out by letting us park our bikes in the garage.Lovely place to stay, great staff, friendly kind people who know how to do an awesome breakfast.It's retro but this is a feature for me, loved it.Room was very clean, shared shower and toilet with a sink in the room.Pricing was very good value, I'll be back.There is a bar and restaurant in site, I didn't make use of this facility.

Just had the most amazing dining experience at The Priory Guest House restaurant! The food was not only excellent, but it was also home-cooked and such good value for money. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by for a meal. Thank you to the fantastic team at the restaurant for their impeccable service. Can't wait to visit again soon!
