10/10 Exceptional

I always choose this hotel if I am working in South West Wales as its the best in the area.
Christopher, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Good location. Nice breakfast and easy parking

Old property with smell. My room just above the bar, keeps noisy until mid-night. Stay one night for road trip so this is definitely fine for us. Buffet breakfast is good. Easy parking and good location which very closed to shopping centre.

Very convenient location in the town

Very convenient location in town with on site parking. Room was clean and a decent size. The only issue was noise from the road just outside the window and a party in the function room, but overall not too bad. Breakfast was good.
