Mark at reception/bar was friendly an helpful. He accommodated us well for evening meal and breakfast. The evening meal was delicious came quickly considering how busy it was. It was hot fresh an tasty. Also used the sauna it was real hot very good. All round excellent service.
Wasn't too keen on the steam room. Wasn't as good as I'd expect. Also Breakfast wasn't the best slightly over cooked bacon an sausage. Presentation of my sons scrambled egg put him off his breakfast.
4.2
The people. Exceptionally friendly and welcoming, good service and great food.
Not so much the property but the area around was a bit like a ghost town. Probably the demise of mining in the area. I’ve heard it badly affected the valleys which is a great shame.
4.2
Helpful staff who went the extra mile. Spotlessly clean. Breakfast was delicious
One minor snag the shower over the bath wasn’t ideal - although great if you like just a bath

The food is always outstanding, really good menu but again, the food is outstanding and so much better than other places I've stayed at.
4.2
Absolutely lovely staff. Really welcoming.
Was quite loud on the evening, could hear the bar music
Lots of loud cars revving up the main road which was loud and annoying but nothing the hotel could do which I understood.
4.2
Comfortable room, with good facilities in the bar/restaurant. Food both dinner and breakfast is excellent, and always have good guest beers on tap. Bedroom is a good size with very comfortable bed and very good en-suite. Showers are great, good water pressure and temperature. I stay here regularly and staff are very friendly, and I have never had a bad experience.
WiFi can be a bit patchy.
4.2
Food in the restaurant was very good and the staff were polite and friendly. Good menu selection and good beer.
The room was so cold given the low temperatures outside, and the towel rail in the bathroom didn’t work. Bins hadn’t been emptied from the previous guest and the room could of done with a hoover.

4.2
Get hotel staff are spot on.
The only thing that let this place downs the local teenager were outside till 2.30am making a lot of noise.
4.2
Food in the restaurant was good & reasonably priced
The separation of the public bar to the hotel needs looking at
The bathroom was shoehorned into place
Room layout was poor - small tv - huge open wooden box for a wardrobe - flashing light outside the room window advertising a Turkish barber
Breakfast in the morning - food was ok - but there was no tea or coffee on offer due to the machine not operational - no offer to boil a kettle -
4.2
Staff was absolutely fantastic - very kind and thoughtful. View of the hills from our window a plus.
The grilled bread for the toast in the morning is OUTSTANDING.
Doors in the hallway are quite loud (one can clearly hear fellow guests entering/leaving their room and the floor).
Also, the lighting in the room is too cold and the bedside lights are quite bright.
4.2
Always a great place to stay. Friendly staff, clean and quiet room and a fantastic breakfast.
4.2
Food was amazing 5 star
Breakfast was delicious
Staff very welcoming and friendly
Atmosphere of the pub/ restaurant was lovely
Made to feel welcome
Bathroom was not functional, Due to the lack of air. Once you used the shower there, was lots of condensation. Black mold around the skylight. The fan only stays on when the room is in use so the moisture does not go.
Exacter fan was full of dust. While using the facilities in the morning . You would get dripped on by the condensation from the skylight. This also made the floor slippery. Once you had used the shower the room became unsafe , damp and slippery. This also made all your toiletries, towels and items wet and damp when left in the room.
Pillows were very flat , poor quality toilet roll.
4.2
