Great stay for 2 nights. The room was clean and spacious and the bed comfortable. Consistently excellent food for both dinners and breakfasts that we had - and very promptly served, considering how busy the restaurant gets. Well done to all the staff team.

Its a very old building full of character. The garden and flower boxes were amazing. The town is lovely and the area is beautiful with towering hills on both sides and the River Usk running past the town. Food and atmosphere very good.
