    No evening meals, but local pub 'The Abermule' is very good and is only a 20 minute walk away.

    Lovely place to stay. Fabulous breakfast, the owner is very accommodating. Rooms are clean and tidy.

The breakfast room and lounge areas - have never stayed at a b and b with such character , history associated with it and the hosts could not do enough to make my stay any more pleasant. Bedroom was lovely and again had character and great facilities. Could not be more comfier. Sumptuous breakfast and the area and grounds around the accommodation amazing. Again what an amazing b and b to stay at.

    Nothing negative to say

    Lovely character hotel within beautiful countryside surroundings - everything about this hotel delivers old world charm. It's so refreshing to stay in an independent establishment after years of travelling on business in Hilton/Hyatt/Sofitel etc. The owners were lovely people - very passionate about the hotel and the area it's in. They also cook up an excellent eggs benedict! I was there for a wedding up the road and the owner was kind enough to offer me a lift THERE and BACK again in the evening. It's things like this that not only restore your faith in humanity but make for an excellent stay in a beautiful part of the country. Thank you for an excellent stay.

    Bathrooms could do with a refurbish but I understand plans are in place to do this.

    Great location, nice and peaceful but within easy reach of various attractions. The owners are excellent being very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The room was nicely decorated and comfortable with all the features required. Top notch breakfast with very good quality food and plenty of it. A good variety was on offer and the ability to taylor the breakfast to your requirements was nice. The hotel has a couple of lounges which were nice to sit and relax in. There are also some very nice outside seating areas.

    Can’t think of anything.

    Owners are nice and friendly with a good sense of humour. We really loved the atmosphere in the mansion. Unfortunately, it was raining. Otherwise, we would have hung out on the outside terrace with a beautiful view. Stayed in the bar instead, enjoying some nice single malts and having a chat with other guests. They serve a good breakfast also.

    Lovely stay in a great location

    As this is a historic property there are sash windows in the rooms - with the weather being hot I wanted to open the window but it proved quite tricky to do. I did intend to ask about it and what was the best way to do it, but forgot about it during the day - perhaps some sort of instructions could be put in the rooms to help with this.

    My room was well equipped with pretty much everything you need for a short stay; good selection of tea/coffee, a decent shower which was nice and hot in the morning, and comfortable double bed. A lot of thought had gone into the decor, this particular room had a purple theme and it just so happens that this is my favourite colour, so that was great..and the crockery was unusual with interesting angled spoons. My Dad had one of the single rooms and we both enjoyed the breakfasts with both continental and cooked options available. I especially enjoyed the pancakes which I had on Sunday, these were freshly cooked and were brought out very quickly. Ken, the host graciously put up with me arriving late on the Friday night after a long journey from Sussex, and was very hospitable to the rest of our family who turned up the next day hoping for some afternoon tea! We sat out on the terrace; we were celebrating various birthdays and Ken produced some added extras which was a nice touch and appreciated by all of us. It helped to make it a memorable occasion, albeit a bit like the mad hatter's tea party... Thanks to all the team at Dolforwyn for a very enjoyable stay!

    The hot water took a while to come through, but was fine after two or three minutes.

    This is an interesting historic property with ample, very comfortable sitting rooms. It was a delight to be served tea In really good china and to be made to feel more like a houseguest on a small country estate than a hotel resident. The kitchen is officially closed pending the arrival of a new chief, but it was opened, obligingly, because I did not want to go out and provided me with excellent, tasty dinners. A most enjoyable stay.
