Reviews and Ratings
The guest house is a lovely place to stay, with beautiful and spacious rooms, exceptional service, and a fantastic location close to the beach and shops. However, the room temperature might get uncomfortable due to the window position. The dining experience is delightful, offering a variety of choices.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, enjoying a nice and big room on the second floor with a beautiful sea view and wonderfully attentive service from the hotel's staff. However, the room could have been a little cleaner with huge cobwebs behind the TV. The location was brilliant, right next to the beach, not far from the train station, and with a rich historical background dating back to the end of the last Ice Age. The dining experience was of good quality and catered to all needs, but I found it to be a bit disappointing. The hotel's facilities were pleasant, and I particularly appreciated the welcome drink provided by the friendly and helpful staff.
The hotel offers clean and spacious rooms with lovely extra little touches, accessible for less mobile guests too. While the bed was softer but not as comfortable as desired and could do with updating, it was very clean and spacious overall. The service was top-notch, with very accommodating and friendly staff ensuring a nice and relaxing stay. The location is excellent, with opportunities for lovely walks or easy access to the sea front and rich historical surroundings dating back to the end of the last Ice Age. The dining experience was very good, offering a comprehensive menu with highly recommended traditional Welsh dishes. The facilities are well-maintained, providing a comfortable stay for guests.
