Booked as a overnight on the way up to North Wales for a motorcycle trip, . Greeted with nice welcome, heating was put on for us to dry soggy gloves etc. Dinner was amazing , the food all came at the same time,.piping hot and delicious, 8 of us and no one said any less than amazing. Desert also great. And then to breakfast, ample toast kept coming , large pots of tea and coffee and choice of breakfast ... host very good as well and stood making us laugh in the bar after dinner, service was great, would defo use again if we are.in the area..
Small thing carpark was a bit muddy but with the amount of rain that was about not much could be done about that...

I discovered this inn during a challenging cycling trip through Wales. Upon my late arrival, I was touched to find a sandwich and milk waiting in my room - a simple gesture that meant everything at that moment. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the room quiet and perfectly clean. Breakfast was also excellent, setting me up perfectly for another day of cycling. What truly stood out, though, was the genuine warmth of the staff. Their kindness made me feel truly welcome despite my disheveled state. The village and surrounding area are peaceful and picturesque. While my stay was brief, I'm already planning a return visit to properly explore the area.

The hospitality and breakfast was excellent and the room was very clean and comfortable. We had evening meals on 2 occasions and they were excellent in both quality and value for money. It was very dog friendly, both in the bar and in the rooms. Would definitely stay there again.
Couldn't really find much to fault it - the only thing I would have liked was somewhere in the shower to put soap, shower gel etc.

Friendly service, accommodating for dogs, good location in the village to sit out the front with a drink relaxing. Very quiet location. Good evening meal in the bar with the dogs at our feet.
Breakfast not served until 8.00am and we had to be on our way earlier to get to Royal Welsh Showground so unfortunately we missed breakfast.

We stayed after visiting the Hay on Wye Festival which was less than 15 mins drive away from the centre. A lovely, peaceful location to stay, surrounded by the countryside. A great welcome and very attentive to anything we wanted. An excellent breakfast to keep you going for most of the day.
Nothing really. Our stay was limited as we needed to set off fairly early for home the next morning.

The staff was super-friendly, nice and helpful, the location was charming, an old country inn absolutely lovely, the room.was spacious, very clean, fitted with everything we needed. We had a nice dinner in the restaurant and breakfast and everything was delicious!
That we spent there only one night, but that's not their fault!

We were made so welcome from the moment we arrived. Nothing was too much trouble and our pets were made so welcome. The staff went above an beyond to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. The food and service second to none.
There was nothing I didn't like. Under pressure the staff were delivering, so nice and kind. There is nothing negative to report.

Tony and Julie were friendly and welcoming. Created a nice and relaxed atmosphere. Delicious food for dinner. Nice cooked breakfast. Comfortable beds.

The hosts were absolutely lovely, they were extremely attentive and kind. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Comfy bed. Dog friendly
The bathroom was very cramped with nowhere to put a toiletry bag; we could have done with a corner shelf or unit. Shower a very tight cubicle and the shower head needs replacing as water was leaking from its sides.
