The owner/manager was very, very helpful. The food was well cooked, well presented and tasty. We were able to get a3-course breakfast and an evening meal (2 or 3 courses). The beds were very comfortable. The "wardrobe facilities" were easily accessible, with enough coat-hangers and of good quality. The views from the windows were very pleasant. The hotel was well situated, with easy access to the castles and towns we wanted to visit. Easy parking, close to the hotel entrance.

The showers were difficult for us. One cubicle was rather small and the other had an American-style shower (i.e. fixed shower head).

Lovely character hotel within beautiful countryside surroundings - everything about this hotel delivers old world charm. It's so refreshing to stay in an independent establishment after years of travelling on business in Hilton/Hyatt/Sofitel etc. The owners were lovely people - very passionate about the hotel and the area it's in. They also cook up an excellent eggs benedict! I was there for a wedding up the road and the owner was kind enough to offer me a lift THERE and BACK again in the evening. It's things like this that not only restore your faith in humanity but make for an excellent stay in a beautiful part of the country. Thank you for an excellent stay.

Nothing negative to say

Great location, nice and peaceful but within easy reach of various attractions. The owners are excellent being very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The room was nicely decorated and comfortable with all the features required. Top notch breakfast with very good quality food and plenty of it. A good variety was on offer and the ability to taylor the breakfast to your requirements was nice. The hotel has a couple of lounges which were nice to sit and relax in. There are also some very nice outside seating areas.

Bathrooms could do with a refurbish but I understand plans are in place to do this.

My room was well equipped with pretty much everything you need for a short stay; good selection of tea/coffee, a decent shower which was nice and hot in the morning, and comfortable double bed. A lot of thought had gone into the decor, this particular room had a purple theme and it just so happens that this is my favourite colour, so that was great..and the crockery was unusual with interesting angled spoons. My Dad had one of the single rooms and we both enjoyed the breakfasts with both continental and cooked options available. I especially enjoyed the pancakes which I had on Sunday, these were freshly cooked and were brought out very quickly. Ken, the host graciously put up with me arriving late on the Friday night after a long journey from Sussex, and was very hospitable to the rest of our family who turned up the next day hoping for some afternoon tea! We sat out on the terrace; we were celebrating various birthdays and Ken produced some added extras which was a nice touch and appreciated by all of us. It helped to make it a memorable occasion, albeit a bit like the mad hatter's tea party... Thanks to all the team at Dolforwyn for a very enjoyable stay!

As this is a historic property there are sash windows in the rooms - with the weather being hot I wanted to open the window but it proved quite tricky to do. I did intend to ask about it and what was the best way to do it, but forgot about it during the day - perhaps some sort of instructions could be put in the rooms to help with this.

Wow. What a B and B. The breakfast room and lounge areas - have never stayed at a b and b with such character , history associated with it and the hosts could not do enough to make my stay any more pleasant. Bedroom was lovely and again had character and great facilities. Could not be more comfier. Sumptuous breakfast and the area and grounds around the accommodation amazing. Again what an amazing b and b to stay at.

Nothing.

This is an interesting historic property with ample, very comfortable sitting rooms. It was a delight to be served tea In really good china and to be made to feel more like a houseguest on a small country estate than a hotel resident. The kitchen is officially closed pending the arrival of a new chief, but it was opened, obligingly, because I did not want to go out and provided me with excellent, tasty dinners. A most enjoyable stay.

The hot water took a while to come through, but was fine after two or three minutes.

Breakfast and dinner were excellent, the welcome was lovely, nothing seemed too much trouble. Such nice folk. To hear about their sympathetic care of such a special property and respect for it's history was really good.

Can't think of anything to improve on.

The hotel itself is a beautiful old building with a lot of history attached to it, (some of the artefacts in the dining room are testimony to this). The cooked breakfasts were very good and served on nice hot plates which makes a change to some places where the plates are cold!

Because there was no chef when we were staying there we couldn't have dinner in the hotel although Ken very kindly did do us a salad on our first night there to save us from going out. We understand that a new chef is starting in September so this issue should be resolved then. The cups on the hospitality tray in the bedroom were rather on the small side!

Quaint and tucked away in a lovely country setting, Dolforwyn hall is an escape away from the bustle of town and work. Wonderful walking trails nearby, comfortable rooms, and beautiful views are all good, but the warm hospitality and welcome of the innkeepers is what really makes the stay worth repeating.

Rooms are slightly dated but comfortable and just fine!

Owners are nice and friendly with a good sense of humour. We really loved the atmosphere in the mansion. Unfortunately, it was raining. Otherwise, we would have hung out on the outside terrace with a beautiful view. Stayed in the bar instead, enjoying some nice single malts and having a chat with other guests. They serve a good breakfast also.

Can’t think of anything.
