“What struck me most was the warmth of the hosts; little seemed too much trouble, and that sets a welcoming tone. I gather it's conveniently located for train travelers, plus getting food delivered looked straightforward. The house itself seems a restful retreat, and the breakfast sounds a proper treat.”

The parking at the hotel was very useful. The complimentary items were a thoughtful addition, I liked that. The Tafarn Y Maes, near to the hotel, served excellent food.
My room felt a bit too small. I did not find space to open my suitcase easily.
