Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated on the edge of a beautiful lake, offering outstanding views and a relaxing break in the countryside. The rooms were a mix of surprising and slightly disappointing with some located in a dark corridor. The service was exceptionally attentive and professional, making you feel like a family friend rather than just a customer.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and tidy, providing us with everything we needed and offering a beautiful mountain view. The setup was basic but absolutely perfect for us. However, having three beds in one room was a bit odd, especially when one bed was placed in a dark and dingy corridor.
The hotel is in a beautiful and isolated location, absolutely stunning and very peaceful, ideal for a complete relaxing break in the countryside. The rooms were cosy with a fireplace, offering a homey atmosphere, although some food options were disappointing. The service was friendly and welcoming, with a strong sense of responsibility towards their dogs. The dining experience was generally lovely with high-quality ingredients but had some minor issues. Overall, a great value for the price, especially for those seeking a tranquil stay amidst the green hills of Wales.
The hotel is in a lovely location, perfect for a relaxing countryside break. The rooms were comfortable, but the layout could be better. The service made me feel like part of the family, and the food was of high quality. However, there were some disappointments with breakfast.
The hotel is located in a beautiful spot near a lovely lake and ancient church, making it a peaceful and stunning location. The room, although in an old Victorian coach house, was surprisingly spacious with an en suite shower room. The service was exceptional with knowledgeable staff who went above and beyond, even opening the bar and lighting a log fire for a late arrival. The dining experience offered a nice selection, though some items like bacon and sausage were overdone. The facilities were well-maintained, and the overall value for money was good.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spotlessly clean and surprisingly spacious. The staff provided a friendly and attentive service, paying attention to every detail. The location was simply amazing, offering beautiful views over the lake. The dining experience was delicious, with generous portions and high-quality ingredients. Overall, a fantastic value for money!
