Buckley Arms is a very nice family-owned hotel. We stayed in a king bed room, which was incredibly spacious and comfortable. The room had all the amenities we needed. The hotel features a pub with a vast selection of rum and a Chinese restaurant inside. The food was absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced. The highlight of our stay was the owner, who is a fantastic person—funny, very sweet, and attentive. She ensured we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. I really recommend it!

Stayed for one night's B&B whilst in the area. Lovely room overlooking the rear, stunning views and huge bathroom. Beds were super comfy, Chinese food in the evening was excellent followed by a good breakfast. Very friendly host who made a fuss of our Staffy.....yes, the place is super dog friendly as well, a big bonus for us !. We even experienced 2 low flying jets whilst we were there as the hotel is under the 'mach loop', what an incredible sight. Would love to return soon.

Wow, we have just left this wonderful hotel after a fabulous stay, we arrived yesterday for a one night stay. This hotel gave us the recoup we were looking for away from my boyfriend and I’s busy lives. It did not let us down, do not be put off by the plain looking exterior once you inside it is stunning a mixture of modern and oldy worldy tradition. The grand sitting room, hallway and stairs, the rooms are wonderful attention to detail is exceptional and the views simply complete the whole stay,We ended up spending our whole evening here it had everything we needed, a bar with a good range of drinks on offer, the most amazing food from it’s Chinese restaurant which is part of the hotel all we had think about was relaxing, drinking eating with a 2 min walk back to the room at the end of the night…. PERFECT!You will not be disappointed, we shall be back!!KJ & Mike x

We were passing through and checked out The Brigand Inn and The Buckley Arms, both seemed excellent but plumped for Chinese this time and what a good choice. Spring rolls starter. Prawn crackers. Chicken Stir fry curry, egg fried rice and chilli ginger broccoli all shared between two. The lady is welcoming host, good chef behind the scenes and reasonably priced too. Thank you

Traveled to the buckley arms just for the food.. Inside this traditional looking welsh pub/hotel, you will find the best tasting Chinese.. Greeted warmly, we were given a choice of tables, we opted for the window to watch the world go by.. Great little menu, great portions & amazing taste.. Worth the trip..
