We are walkers on the Wales Coast path so our requirements are a good bed, good food and security. This pub/Hotel offers small double beds but firm and the cooking downstairs is good pub fayre. The bathrooms was clean and new. The service in the bar was a bit eccentric with two meals not matching what we ordered but everyone was cheerful and helpful. The pub was busy so it obviously has the approval of the locals.

Pleasant stay

Easy to check in and neat and tidy room. There was quite a lot of noise from the bar, however, this closed at a reasonable time, so no issue sleeping.

We arrived after an 80 mile bike ride and were eager to get a shower and a good meal. The team were expecting us and had the key ready; check-in was very welcoming and efficient. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Despite the restaurant being very busy (Saturday 8pm) our meals came without delay and were hot, hearty and very tasty. Wouldnt think twice about staying again next time we're in the area.

Great central location

Stayed here as a family. We were on a biking trip in the local area. Location was great and in the centre of town. The rooms were clean and well equipped with a nice shower and bathroom. We are in the pub on the evening. The food was fine, decent pub grub.
