An absolute dump. Whoever has reviewed this place higher than a 2 must be related to the owners. The place is disgusting, filthy and massively overpriced. …

Nice place, steeped in history. If you can see passed the fact it backs on to a graveyard and is in the top 5 most haunted hotels in Wales, you will sleep well 👻 Food is really good from a classic pub grub menu, all home cooked to order.

Would like to write and say this was a lovely hotel - but in all honesty, I can't! It looks impressive from the outside, but once inside, it all changes. It is a very old hotel and hasn't managed to keep up with the modern pace.  …

Stopped in on a slow day and found the fire lit and well kept beers on tap. We were only stopping for a drink but the fire was stoked for us and given its age,it's a cosy ,quiet place for a pint. There are some nooks and crannies you can sit yourself in and pass a peaceful hour.

This hotel dates back a long time and whilst I knew it may have some kind of old smell to it, at times it was so overpowering. The damp smell of the furniture in the living room area was really bad. …

This was an awful place. Sooo outdated, sooo smelly, sooo dirty!! I had to ask receptionist to bring vacuum cleaner. Room full of spider webs, bugs crawling on ceiling, carpet stained everywhere and full of bits. …

We were looking for a pub or a place to drink and this was one of the places Google suggested that was actually open. Prices weren't bad and service was quick but possibly just because it wasn't busy. No real atmosphere due to there only being one other table in the place (no idea if they had guests) but it was 5pm so might liven up at night. A historic building so worth going in just to say you've had a drink in there

What a wonderful place to stay.||Room and ensuite was warm, spotlessly clean and the staff were very friendly and attentive to every need.||A refreshing change from the average chain hotels... …
