    I didn't manage to access the wifi using the password provided, but this wasn't an issue as I had phone data anyway.

    The food at the Clytha Arms was excellent. The room was comfortable, I really liked the bed linen. The location, being close to Raglan Castle was perfect.

    Would recommend this place to anyone, but the mattress was a little springy and definitely needs changing.

    Lovely friendly place with a few treats left in the room, which were welcome after a day in the hills. Great atmosphere in the bar.

    Nothing. Hosts were wonderful.

    Such care and attention paid to everything! The room was well appointed and I had everything I could have wanted. Dinner in the bar the evening of my stay was venison in Rioja with seasonal veg, Welsh cheese board, and a glass of Pinot Noir. Memorable for all the right reasons. In spite of a slip up with a pudding order (hence the second choice of cheese) my food was exceptional. Bed was comfortable and warm, (pillows could perhaps do with a update?) and a good powerful shower in the morning... Breakfast set me up for the day. I had muesli, followed by fresh warm croissant and brown and white toast, and then bacon and scrambled eggs. I'm guessing the bacon was local (likewise the eggs). There was a taste of the country about it all, an immediacy to the flavours. All accompanied by freshly squeezed orange juice, and washed down with a cafetiere of coffee. Truly fantastic value for money and quality in every bite. Thank you!

    Cleanliness - mainly dust taking - can be better !

    - The service and friendliness is unprecedented @ The Clytha Arms: we had a very warm welcome. We had 2 times dinner which was very nice and tasteful; we must admit that we ordered trout and got salmon... Also the breakfast is very good (although the marinated salmon had a bid a 'special' taste :-) ) - we received a room upgrade, which was a lovely and authentically decorated, very spacious room
