    Little pricey for the dinner I felt. But tasty food too.

    One of the best breakfast. I must appreciate the chef Becky underwood who is taking individual orders and then giving the orders. Very nice breakfast. I tried almost all the options in the breakfast and everything was beautiful. The team working is amazing there. The staffs I would say Mark who welcomed me in a pleasing way, guided me for the tour too. Other staffs were Taysha Smith Marh boss Rose Ashley were all amazing. Massage chair is the amazing addition in the stay with steam and sauna. Especially after a nice walk to Lakes and mountain walks. The restaurant and bar is quite busy too. Cant ask for more!!

    WiFi can be a bit patchy.

    Comfortable room, with good facilities in the bar/restaurant. Food both dinner and breakfast is excellent, and always have good guest beers on tap. Bedroom is a good size with very comfortable bed and very good en-suite. Showers are great, good water pressure and temperature. I stay here regularly and staff are very friendly, and I have never had a bad experience.

    Lack of attention to detail. Some bulbs weren't working, the bathroom radiator was off (and it was - 3 outside). It could have been a little cleaner. There was a half drunk bottle of water in the room and some small things were dusty. Main things like beds and bathroom were clean though. Also, the bathroom didn't have shower just a bath, that could have been made clearer at time of booking.

    Cosy and comfortable. Lovely bar and delicious food in the restaurant.

    I can’t think of anything to improve on except the menu in the room folder was different to the current one.

    The Full Welsh Breakfast was excellent. Poached egg was cooked to perfection plus good quality bacon and sausage. Our room was a standard double which was all we needed and most importantly had a comfortable bed. The restaurant offers a good menu which is not overpriced and good food.

    We were in the top most room, lots of stairs. My partner has difficulty walking up stairs. There was a lot of dust on the lights next to the bed, dust on the pillow bag above the wardrobe. Didn’t look as though had been cleaned properly for a long time. There was no soap holder in the shower. Everywhere else in the room seemed so dusty.

    The location, easy to find. staff and service were excellent and food good value.
