Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    The Baths museum was great. Good size for small kids not to get bored but plenty of information for the adults and very interesting.
    Amazing piece of history preserved in a small Welsh town.

    Really interesting visit, especially after visiting the baths to discover the finds uncovered there. Activities for children throughout the holidays for a small fee, my son took part in a Roman Soldier Boot camp and thoroughly enjoyed himself. Staff/actors very friendly and nurturing of younger children too to ensure they are all involved. We will definitely be visiting again in the future.

    Something slightly eerie about this place and very atmospheric. Often your the only person there and the windswept hill top fort and it will blow you away. Ramparts still very easy to define and still difficult to climb/storm. Worth a visit for an hour or so even if just for the extensive view across the channel and north to the hills

    This lively local pub has a fab atmosphere and great friendly bar staff. Truly recommend it as I've seen a few bands over the last few months and always guaranteed to have a very pleasant evening

    Lovely atmosphere, good range of drinks, comfortable seating. There's a good range of food on the menu and specials board and very reasonably priced. We ordered a range of meals and everything was very good. Sirloin steak was excellent and loved that mushrooms and onion rings came with it as standard. A very enjoyable evening, can't wait to return.

    What a wonderful shop I never knew existed. Will definitely be going back, so many crystals, rocks and hand made gifts. Have a look around, then have another look around, so many things to see. Thanks for the gift for my grandson.

    The pub of choice if you want to focus on the sport with likeminded people. Friendly crowd mainly locals but welcoming to travellers and often gets tourists or cyclists dropping by. If there's a big game on it will be on here for sure.
