Great stay

From check in to check out, staff were really friendly. As a solo traveller I felt safe at all times. The pub itself seemed very friendly. The breakfast was lovely and the chef was very accomodating, cooking my order to my request. Would certainly stay again.

Fantastic stay

This was a little Gem staff were excellent friendly and very friendly on entering I was met by Dan the manager at the Bar who showed me to my room. I didn't have food as I was very tired after my long drive from Edinburgh on my way home to Carmarthenshire but if it is anything to go by breakfast I missed out as my meal in the morning was excellent I've stayed in a lot of big hotels in my time and they could take a leaf out of their book for a small tavern giving you so many choices It beats them hands down a great big thanks to Dan and his staff
