Excellent stay. Room was spotless and service was fantastic. Great choice at breakfast. Thank you.
A lovely one-night stay. Comfortable room with a fantastic view. Lovely breakfast with good choice of food. Staff were friendly and it was great to see the Welsh language being cherished throughout the hotel.
Such friendly staff! A beautiful location and the room had a lovely view over the harbour. Clean, comfortable room with a sofa which we appreciate as we’re not comfortable to watch TV at night in bed. Excellent evening meal too.
We stayed in the lilac house and it was fantastic! Beautifully decorated and great little touches like milk in the fridge and decaf coffee pods. Definitely be back.
I loved my stay here! Everything about it was perfect - my room was cosy and warm with all the facilities I needed (including a coffee machine!) and a sea view, the food was amazing (I ate here in the evening as well as for breakfast) and staff were friendly and helpful. If the price is right (I got a discounted rate this time due to having some one key credit), I will definitely stay again :)
