    We requested secure bike storage but the room outside was full of decorating material and that made getting our bikes in and out quite difficult.

    Lived up to expectations

    My room ( No 6 ) formed part of the second floor Fire Escape and so had a minimal lock on it and an expectation to keep the floor space clear. The Fire Escape Stairs were by the window. Cramped room with no storage space for bags ( See above ).

    It was a lively busy traditional Pub/Inn undergoing a lot of refurbishment . Newly refurbished Bathroom attached to my room ( No 6 )

    Not a question of didn't like, a touch shabby but only in the inessentials, like paintwork, carpets and some towels. But clean and comfortable. And convenient..

    Standard pub menu but served with kindness. Just like the hotels of our childhood. Reassuring. Helpful. Nice clientele too. Local support.

    The smell of paint was not good in one of the rooms. I dont smell well so I swapped with my colleague who found it uncomfortable to sleep in so that was a bit of a disruption.

    All as expected. Staff we lovely!

    Better signage to the bedrooms. I was on the third floor and left wondering which doors to push open and how many stairs to climb. The Hotel information folder could have given the WiFi code - I didn't fancy a trip down to the bar to get that information. A bedside table for any cofee/book etc would be a good addition.

    I booked a room at short notice. The hotel appears to be undertaking a programme of improvement - walls freshly painted (decorators still at work) and the bedroom was newly decorated and clean. Lots of towels, usual shower gel etc and good supply of instant hot drinks. The room was basic but I just needed a bed for the night. Car parking behind the hotel was appreciated.

    It has absolutely nothing to do with the pub but the chimes all night from the clock tower were something else! I would imagine living there, you would get used to it, but I saw every hour!

    I liked that I could take my dog. It was also a central location and friendly

    "Tired" would be a good word to decribe the hotel. Impossible to open the windows which appeared to be a long standing issue.

    Friendly staff. Own well lit car park.

    Wales Pub hotel review

    When I booked, I requested a bed without a footboard and received a message saying no beds in the hotel had them. Then I was put in a room with a bed with a footboard and had to go through the annoyance of straightening that out. I was put in a king room that meant I was sleeping on one side of two twin beds pushed together instead of in the middle of the double bed I had booked. The hotel uses fragrance in their laundry and strong smelling cleaner or room spray of some kind that I really disliked. Spindly spiders in the room corners. Lots of winding stairs to navigate.

    Staff helped me to change rooms when I was put in a room with a bed with a footboard, which I am too tall for. The bathroom was modern. The silence in the night was impressive. I could sleep without earplugs. Staff were very kind and helped me down with large luggage upon check-out.
