Nice old Hotel
This is a nice Hotel.
The only downside was that my room was really hot.
Unfortunately the Breakfqst at £14.95 ways too expensive for my work budget.
The evening meal was nice but a bit on the high side price wise for what it was

Gem of a hotel within the walled town
We only stayed foŕ 2 nights but wished it was longer. So much character and history. Rooms were lovely and beds so comfy. Perfect location for exploring the area but also, after a full day it was so nice to come back, hang up the car keys and enjoy the many bars and eateries right on the doorstep. We ate in the hotel restaurant our first night which was great. Good menu choices. Every member of staff we encountered was so friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend. We are already planning a return visit in warmer weather next year.

The staff was so outstanding. Without exception everyone we dealt with went out of their way to make our stay more comfortable. From the moment of arrival until the time we left they were looking out for us. Every wish was satisfied. We could not recommend one thing to improve our stay expect stay longer.
Many good memories, thank each of you very, very much.

The staff was extremely helpful. The room we had in a newer part of the building was very large and had a kitchenette. The room was very clean, the bed extremely comfortable. The pub had terrific food. I would highly recommend staying here.

We were so impressed (Americans, first time in UK) by the beauty of Wales. An ancient inn, within the walls of the medieval city, with beautiful and friendly people?) yes - we love it and we want to come back!
