Great central location
Stayed here as a family. We were on a biking trip in the local area. Location was great and in the centre of town. The rooms were clean and well equipped with a nice shower and bathroom. We are in the pub on the evening. The food was fine, decent pub grub.

Clean, well presented room - newly refurbished. Very nice bathroom, good shower.
Bedroom - Need for a fan - free standing / ceiling to eliminate need to open window and thus cut road noise and church bells, every hr throughout the night!

We loved the room, it was really comfortable and clean and having the bar for food was really welcome and the food was lovely. The bar was very busy and it was hot so we weren't sure if the staff had just had a long day but the welcome was a bit stiff and the staff didn't seem bothered whether we were there or not as guests. The location was great for where we were going and the room was top notch, so we could forgive that. It was a brilliant location though and a great base for most of mid Wales.

Middle of town setting
Warm reception when booking in at bar. Stairs were very wide up to rooms which was great for carrying up bags etc. The room was a little small and lacking in hanging space (although we did book small double). Bathroom was very clean and had been recently modernised. Food at the pub was very good with high hiegeane rating for kitchen. Very pleasant stay and would book again.

Room #2 is a fire escape room & is definately NOT a nearly £100 a night room..very small, tatty furniture and the mattress was like sleeping on the floor..we have stayed in far more superior rooms in the past for half the price. Can't review the food as it was way too expensive for us.
