Lovely hotel with amazing, beautiful views
Lovely hotel, clean, spacious, nice decor & beautiful views. The location was excellent and we particularly enjoyed the dining terrace overlooking the Welsh Hills. Staff were very attentive, friendly and helpful. The room was big as was the bathroom with a bath. It had a big, comfortable bed. The only negative was the TV. It was very small for the room and had a very basic freeview, with most channels having no signal. A bigger TV with Netflix, so we could watch a film or something would make the stay spectacular. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Not so attentive!
We cancelled by telephone because of a serious illness, and did not stay here. However due to the way the hotel is run and via automated system we keep receiving the messages.
I can only assume the staff have an ignorant attitude as they appear not to of cancelled my stay.
For this reason alone I would not be able to recommend this hotel.
