A building full of character with fantastic views, containing superbly warm hosts and great food!

Mark and Lowri are fantastic hosts and the food is excellent! The bed was comfortable and the views towards the black mountains from the property and my room were stunning. The room was exactly what you'd expect from a 14th century building, a little crooked and some fantastic original features, which made the experience feel special. Would definitely have no hesitation in returning.

No upright/ standing shower but there was hand shower tap on the bath so it wasn't a big deal.

Quaint building, lovely location, helpful owners but bathroom needs updating

The hotel is exactly as in the photos, very old and with rustic charm, although the room we were in was in the newer part of the building. The room was spacious with a large bathroom. The location is beautiful - very much in the country. They service pub food in the restaurant - food was OK, not great. The owners were friendly and helpful.

I would have given a higher rating except for the shower - or lack of. I booked a deluxe room and didn't think I needed to specify a shower. What we got was a hand-held shower over a bath. It was hard to get the temperature right - either freezing or scalding - and the pressure and the design meant it was like being pierced with sharp needles. Essentially it meant sitting in the bath - not especially comfortable - and getting water everywhere. The bath was difficult to get out of afterwards. The room had not been dusted recently and there was a spider on the desk. NB steep stairs to the first level where the rooms are.

A bit basic on arrival, but the whole experience was fabulous....will come again!

The hosts were extremely welcoming and friendly, as were the locals eating in the bar. Dinner was homecooked and delicious, service swift. Breakfast the next morning was cooked fresh and extremely good.

The room was a little basic and perhaps a little worn, though we had everything we needed and it was very comfortable...but we had chosen the cheapest room in the hotel!

Very poor

The room was very poorly furnished with no proper table and a chipped mug to drink out of. For our evening meal we were shunted away from the restaurant to a small isolated corner of the bar area.

Wonderful.

Breakfast and dinner both excellent & served by exceptional staff/owners - relaxed but professional. It was a pleasure to stay - felt like being a house guest rather than a "customer". Location was perfect and surprisingly central for our requirements.

If there was anything we missed it!

Amazing place, must visit

The owners are really really nice, and the place is beautiful. The food was delicious as well.

The bed wasn't really to our liking. Bit too short. Also there isn't an actual shower only a bath with a shower head attachment. It works but would've loved a proper shower.

A delightful

Breakfast excellent.. Plenty of variety and good service. A varied evening meal menu.

There were steep concrete steps to our room. There was no warning in the advertising material about this soit was a problem to a couple of 80 year old lDies with dodgy knees. This Inn was run by a delightful family.

Although it’s rated as a 4star establishment, I feel it’s certainly not that. maybe a 2/3 star would be more accurat

lovely setting.

Room could have been cleaner and certain items need to be sorted out, broken window pane, very loose toilet seat.

Not good for value for money

Breakfast was good.

They closed the kitchen at 8.30pm which I thought was a bit early - I got back to have dinner at 8.40pm and was told it's closed, so I didn't have dinner. Also the noise from the guests drinking downstairs went on until 1am, so I couldn't sleep. They should have some kind of sound proofing between the pub downstairs and the bedrooms above.

Spacious and welcoming, both the hotel and the team. Couldn't have asked for much better!

The room was very spacious and welcoming, everyone we met at the hotel were really warm and friendly. The breakfast included was delicious and served promptly in the morning. We couldn't have asked for anything better considering we were only there for a short stay but would happily recommend to family and friends. Especially with the bar on site, and the beautiful views in the garden. Very peaceful and serene.

The only thing we didn't have nearby were local conveniences for food or takeaways after the hotel had finished serving food but we luckily came prepared! Just be aware that these are a short drive or walk away that could be inconvenient for some.

Good food poor accommodation.

The breakfast was excellent as were the dinners we had there. The bar had a log fire and the atmosphere was cheery.

The bedroom was very small, the carpet was stained, the loo seat swivelled and a cupboard door under the sink hung off its hinges so the whole cupboard was unusable. It was neglected.

Comfortable stay with modern hospitality in a truly historic building with oodles of period charm.

Dinner in the bar, with real ale, was just how we like it; breakfast in the dining room was civilized and pretty good; bedroom was quiet, characterful and attractive. Staff were friendly and helpful, and ran the place very well indeed.

Almost nothing not to like: breakfast coffee, served in a plunger "percolator", was a bit murky (we prefer filtered), but good nevertheless; hot water in the en suite wasn't always there, but we coped. The staircase (a creaky medieval effort in a cupboard) was scary (at my age) even without suitcases, but it would be sacrilege to modernise it.
