I stayed on 30th July for one night. Dinghy, small room, poorly furnished, cost £44. Staff O K, breakfast good, got home to Cardiff to discover I had 21 bed bug bites on my back. No response from the manager regarding my letter of complaint. Would not recommend under any circumstances, EVER. more

This has got to be the GROTTIEST, DOWNMARKET DUMP I have ever entered in my life!!! The rooms are dingy, smelly, old & the bedding had holes in!! We showed "The Manager", who did give us one room free out of the three, mainly because we told him we wouldnt be having breakfast, because we just couldnt bring ourselves to... more

When you first walk in you do notice the smell of stale fags (like one of the reviews has stated) and the old brown carpets. The manager was a grumpy bugger! Never smiled or greated us, just grunted.

We are young people and aint too fussed bout hotels, BUT this hotel really had a BAD thing going on. The rooms were... more

The hospitality found at this hotel is second to none the staff & management are always pleased to help and the food is wonderfull no one could ask for better As a couple we have stayed at the gables on several times and it only gets better more

We stayed in the hotel for a couple of nights in May and were more than happy with the service we received. The first impression was that of a warm, friendly environment with staff who were extremely efficient and professional.
