Old Rectory in the heart of Welsh Countryside
Fantastic old Rectory in a quiet country area ideal for walks along the nearby canal. Breakfast was excellent with a good choice cooked to order. Staff were helpful and friendly. Decor needs a bit of TLC but it is an old listed building.

A very friendly and relaxing hotel. We have no complaints. The welcome and hospitality was very good, our room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The food was amazing. The only thing that lets it down is that it’s obviously a very old building and requires constant maintenance, so the building was a little un cared for in places. But it won’t stop us from returning. It was very good and the views were amazing

Nice location, but that’s about it.
Fantastic location, but the hotel itself is very tired. Room, bed and bathroom generally in poor condition. It’s a shame as it has the potential to be an absolutely lovely place. Very nice staff and breakfast. We only stayed one night as we had it as a stopover, would not stay there again unless it was fully renovated.
