Really enjoyed our stay, only negative I have is that the door to the room was difficult to open, but that was because it was clear the room had been given a new comfortable carpet. Breakfast was great, lovely atmosphere

Great location for walking the Wales Coast Path.
The room was a little 'tired' but generally OK. Unfortunately the heating in the rooms was not on so it was occasionally cool. The hotel did apologise once we had pointed this out to them. The restaurant was good and the staff friendly. We would have liked prepared fruit for breakfast instead of a limited selection of unprepared fruit. Parking on site in a monitored car park was a real bonus. The hotel is in a fantastic location for access to the town centre and the bus and rail stations. Could not have been better from that point of view.

The only issue we had regarding our stay was that the Expedia booking confirmation stated a 1:00pm check-in time, yet at the property the check-in time is actually from 2:00pm, which did cause a bit of hassle on the day we arrived, as we had to get off to a wedding
