Needed to find somewhere to stay while walking in the Cambrian Mountains. There are some highly rated hotels nearby but stay in this one for great service, local food, welcoming staff and stylish rooms.

This has to be the best small hotel in Wales. Nick and Marc's passion for the finer things in life shine through, the welcome from them was warm and genuine and the food was utterly delicious. They certainly deserve all the positive feedback here on tripadvisor.
