This hotel offers a comfortable stay with lush mountain views and an extra comfy bed. The service is superb with a personal touch, but the dining experience may fall short in variety. The location is a nature lover's dream, surrounded by picturesque Welsh hills. Facilities are well-kept, but some minor improvements are needed. Overall, a serene escape with stunning vistas.
