Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Absolutely lovely hotel, very central with great undercover parking option for motorcycles. Great value with breakfast included.
The lighting in the bathroom was very dim - it would not have been possible to shave or apply cosmetics.
Good location with plenty of parking nice and clean hotel with friendly staff
Nothing
Friendly staff, how comfortable and spacious the room was .
Was no windows to open for ventilation, was quite warm day/ night. Eventhough there was a fan in the room still felt stuffy, it would have been good if there was a net curtain to leave closed when opening up the bigger curtain so you could let in natural light and have some privacy.
Excellent staff and service . Food was excellent. 10 out 10 .
Could not find any faults.
Decent place to stay. Convenient for town. Great breakfast, friendly staff.
Beautiful property large room with bath and shower
Nothing was great
Friendly staff Clean room. Great breakfast.
Good breakfast in with the price paid. It would have been nice if the dining room had been open for an evening meal but we were able to enjoy a meal in the pub two doors away. Lovely big room with a very nice sized en suite and the staff were all very friendly and helpful.
The hotel was a little bit tired, just needing a refresh of paintwork and carpet.
Lovely staff, welcoming, location, peaceful, parking, great breakfast
The room facilities were fine and the breakfast was very nice.
On a blisteringly hot night in a room without ventilation and only a small window that couldn't be left open because of security . I wanted my wife to join me in the car in the car park. That's how uncomfortable it was.
We had all the facilities in this hotel, and friendly staff specifically the staff called Fiona who was very friendly and helpful. Also the receptionist was very welcoming and respectful.
It’s an old building, full of character. The bedrooms were well appointed, maybe a bit too modern for the age of the building
All good
Staff really welcoming and entertaining at times. Breakfast was great and good choice
Wouldn't say i didn't like but noticed that carpets were worn
Ottima accoglienza in struttura con stanze pulite e confortevoli. Colazione buona, servita da una signora super carina e gentile. Facile raggiungere la costa in circa un quarto d’ora di macchina.
The property was in a good location and very clean
Not one of the front of staff could speak Welsh . Very disappointing
Comfortable double bed room. Clean and tidy. The breakfast was great and so were the staff. Parking available on site. Fairly large room with en-suite.
It can get pretty warm in the room during summer months. Placing a fan in the room would be very useful.
The location was convenient for Newcastle Emlyn and the room was reasonably spacious. Unfortunately, the positives were significantly outweighed by problems with the accommodation and unavailable facilities
The “Suite” appeared to be a converted former shop unit directly on the road, with a large shop-front window that offered little privacy unless the curtains remained closed. The mattress seemed too small for the bed and was extremely noisy, and traffic noise was intrusive. During exceptionally hot weather the room was unbearably warm, with no air conditioning; opening the small window made the road noise worse and the fan provided was ineffective. The advertised spa was unavailable, Y Bistro was not operating and there was no evening meal service. The building’s front door was also locked at 8pm. Overall, the accommodation and facilities were very different from what we reasonably expected from the listing and a four-star “riverside retreat”.
Good location and facilities were good and clean. Breakfast was delicious.
Nothing that we can think of!
Lovely quiet room, great breakfast
Nothing
Nice placed for the surrounding areas. We have stayed here twice now...and is our new base when we are in the area. Friendly staff, first visit we stopped our room as had a few issues...wasn't a problem at all.
El desayuno es excelente, la habitación amplia, el baño aun más amplio en proporción. Excelente ubicación, según sales andando ya estas en el centro del pueblo.
La cama para dos personas me resultó pequeña.
Clean,; comfortable; easy to find and park; good breakfast; enjoyed supper in the pub next door.
Only that it was difficult to work out the shower temperature. I did in the end, so it was fine. The bathroom lighting was too dim. Otherwise, the bathroom was well designed.
Pleasant room; very comfortable bed; staff friendly and helpful; convenient parking; very good breakfast.
No restaurant; bar shut at 8pm; tv reception poor; carpet in room stained.
Lovely breakfast and helpful staff
Unfortunately the television kept freezing
Even though it was on the main road, it was pretty sound proof and the traffic wasn’t noticeable. Bed was super comfortable and was the best nights sleep I’ve had in a while.
Some of the facilities were in need of replacement, the sink had a huge crack down and was being held up by masking tape.
Breakfast. Room.
The Wi-Fi didn’t work and the tv reception was awful, no sound or picture at times.
Great service. Good breakfast. Best shower I've ever had.
I'm not a TV watcher but on this occasion very frustrated by the signal breaking up. I suspect outside the hotel's control.
Main hotel was good & vegan breakfast delicious - staff incredibly helpful too.
We were given an outside room which felt like a student room. Very basic.
Very comfortable and a good breakfast.
Not much in the town for dinner.
Nice clean friedly family hotel Everything was great! Thank you!
Nothing
Excellent staff, very helpful and accommodating. Especially the friendly lady at breakfast. Delicious free breakfast too
Having to get up for work in the morning
Lovely welcoming staff. Great location and superb room and facilities. Excellent breakfast.
Great location, room size lovely, staff were very friendly & helpful
No facilities, bar was closed, bed was uncomfortable & no aircon Bath/shower needs a bath mat as very slippy
Large clean room. Lovely staff. Good bespoke breakfast. Great parking. Village setting.
Small TV for size of room. No bar or lounge area, but pub a couple of doors away. Small towels.
Such a friendly welcome, and lovely room. Beautiful location.
Would have been ideal to get food there on arrival but appreciate it was midweek out of season.
Lovely big room that even had a comfy settee to relax on. Breakfast was great and the staff were friendly. We liked it so much, we extended our stay!
The check-in experience was very good. Receptionist was very friendly and she explained all procedures clearly. Breakfast as usual was very good. The staff in the breakfast room were very professional and friendly.
The room was very small - almost a box room. It was quite stuffy in there. The TV channels were not working very well.
The breakfast was amazing, cooked and presented beautifully. They were very obliging and flexible regarding the menu.
Lovely hotel, friendly staff, clean room
No window blinds/net on my ground floor room.
Siute was lovely, staff were great
Room was unbearable hot, no air con, no opening windows, just a fan provided which didn't help
Made to feel extremely welcome at check in, and especially at breakfast, only met 2 members of staff, couldn’t fault anything. Will definitely recommend and hope to stay again soon, regards, Calvin.
It suited us as a stopover on our way south. Gemma was very helpful, and an asset to the business.
Nothing disappointing at all.
The property is ideally situated. There are plenty of places to explore in the area.
The room was clean and spacious. The staff were very friendly and very helpful
The room was on the main road so was noisy and hot. There was no fan in the room. There was only bath towels not bath sheets in the bathroom and they were much too small. Breakfast was nice but it was very limited. There was only 3 choices on the menu and the English breakfast was not very big. There was no fruit
Good value and lovely service
Clean and tastefully decorated great choice for breakfast and welcoming staff
Location was good and staff were friendly
I booked a suite which stated it had a bath - there was no bath. We were given a room on the main Rd at the side of the hotel which seemed like we were staying in a shop feont.
La chambre était très propre et l’établissement calme. Meilleurs nuit à de mon voyage en Angleterre ! Le personnel était sympathique et prévenant. Petit déjeuner exceptionnel. À côté il y un bar où on peux utiliser internet et boire une bière voire manger une assiette c’est tres bien.
The staff that we met (check in and breakfast) were lovely. The lady on breakfast due was brilliant, nothing was too much. Stayed with my 3 year old and he’s still saying how comfy the bed was
The rooms could do with a mini fridge but other than that, nothing.
Great hotel, with clean spacious room and a fabulous breakfast.
Lovely friendly staff. Our room was large with sitting area and plenty of space. Lovely and quiet. Comfy bed with really good bedding. Well cooked, good quality, breakfast and service.
There were a few areas needing maintenance in our room, carpet cleaning, grouting/silicon refresh in bathroom but this did not worry us nor affect out stay.
lovely Omolette
The room was clean and tidy. Staff are friendly including breakfast room personnel. Scrumptious breakfast. Adequate parking.
Staff were lovely, and very helpful. Good breakfast x
Just excellent.
Nothing
Hôtel simple .bon petit déjeuner 👍
Chambre petite et fenêtre pas sécurisée
Staff were awesome
All facilities worked. Breakfasts were good. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the area
My room was clean, but is in need of redecoration really quite urgently. It looked tired.
Beautifully appointed accommodation close to town centre. Breakfast was wonderful.
This is a little gem in the Welsh countryside. The staff in dinning room were exceptional and so friendly n full of local knowledge . The breakfast was superb.. would definitely stay again if back this way . Cenarth fall nearby are fantastic and the fishing is good .
Lovely warm welcome from the lady on Reception, everything clearly explained, and the lady running breakfast in the morning was also fantastic. Room was spotlessly clean. Good shower. Breakfast itself was really good.
Bedroom was dated, two of the pillows were lumpy (I just used the other two though).
Brilliant staff and breakfast. Very friendly, professional and cordial. The room was comfortable and cozy. The breakfast was wholesome and filling.
Quality Hotel
Breakfast, asked for poached eggs, the whites of the eggs were not cooked
Character hotel. Good breakfast.
Location
No evening meal or bar. Noise from room above early in morning
Size of the room
Tv too small for the wall and distance away from the bed. Shower controller could only be used whilst standing in the shower, which wasnt fun when cold water came out
Room was large and quiet,breakfast was great
Room was spacious, spotlessly clean and very well furnished. The receptionist and the lady at breakfast were very pleasant, helpful and professional in their approach. Breakfast was served in a well equipped dining room with ample choices of food. The full breakfast was very well prepared, presented and filling.
The mattress on the bed was not the most comfortable and the floorboards in the room creaked loudly when walking anywhere in the room. Just unfortunate no evening meals are provided.
Everything and everyone was very good, in a very nice hotel.
Everything was good
Can't fault the Hotel. Rooms were spacious and clean, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Fiona is a breath of fresh air in the morning serving breakfast and couldn't do enough for us. Receptionist was so polite and helpful too. Will most definitely come back next time when working away in the area.
The beds were a little on the hard side.
All lovely. Thank you 😊
Super friendly staff in
Only there for 1 night so was happy
Had character and good location.
Nothing
Everything was brilliant Big comfortable room and bed including sofa (free genius room upgrade) Breakfast was great quality and tasty Parking was secure at rear, offered great peace of mind
Friendly and helpful duty manager showed us to our room told us what time breakfast was served. The breakfast server Fiona I think her name was very friendly and helpful.
We had a wonderful time during our stay here. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Ghe room was very clean and the bed was so comfortable we slept soundly every night. If you're in the area I highly recommend staying here, fantastic accommodation!
Breakfast was OK
No bar, a bit run down hotel
Rooms in the annexe are good
Change the windows in the front building to reduce road noise
We loved the old building with lots of character and tastefully decorated, everything about the breakfast was very good, plenty of buffet options and juice and our fried breakfast was very good, freshly cooked and tasty. Our room was snug but very comfortable and everything we needed and the bathroom was great with a nice big shower. The town was lovely and plenty of option for dinner.
The stairs, we were up two flights which wasn’t perfect but no major factor, and we had a busy road side room, the room was very warm so we had to open the window which meant traffic noise.
Breakfast was superb and definitely value for money!staff very polite and helpful
Stayed twice within 2 weeks first time penthouse bath wouldn't empty after shower. 2nd time shower water pressure minimal at first. Instructions would have been useful.
Lovely character yet modern touch, very comfortable bed and cosy rooms with everything we needed, breakfast was amazing- plenty of choice, hot & cold options, all great quality.
Nothing really, a small niggle could be that the bar would stay open a little longer than the 9pm.
Excelent breakfast, very friendly staff.
Good location
No evening meal0
Parking on site. Pleasant en-suite room. Located in a town with lots to explore in spite of wet weather!
Great welcome when checking in - no problem parking and breakfast was good. Room was acceptable/ good although bed was slightly uncomfortable and the sofa could do with an upgrade. TV worked and bathroom was modern and clean.
The corridors and stairs look terrible - the carpet doesn't look as it has been cleaned in the last 5 years .The restaurant and bar are shut and the sitting area is not welcoming. The front door of the building is locked at 8pm so if you do decide to go to a local pub to have an evening meal you are provided with a key to open the back door.
