Stayed in family room. Loved an idea of double beds rather than pull out sofa beds for kids. Room was spacious. Free parking was a bonus. Will stay there again. Hotel restaurant was disappointing. Ordered pizza and burger. Burger was ok. Pizza tasted exactly like Domino’s frozen one from the supermarket for £5, but charged £15 here . When asked they confirmed they do not make tgem. Wouldn’t go back to that restaurant and pay those prices for “cook from frozen” food.

Nice staff

It’s my first time been to Wales and we stayed for 2 nights. Overall it’s quite good, nice staff and room is cleaned. We try to setup the air conditioning for lower temperatures as we felt a bit hot in the room. Unfortunately, it’s central conditioning. Rooms is a bit hot for the kids.
