Petit hotel sympatique et familal au milieu de la nature avec une vue imprenable sur les champs. Le repas ainsi que le petit déjeuner étaient à la fois bon et copieux.

Friendly staff, amazing view of the field from the room, calming sound of the waterfall, and superb full English breakfast. Lovely family run hotel, and we would love to stay next time we come to Aberystwyth!

10.0

My partner and I were on a motorcycle touring trip riding around mid Wales. We chose this hotel based on its good location for Ellen Valley, price and parking facilities. The service they offered was exceptional. We arrived expecting to park our motorcycles in the car park. They offered us secure parking for both our bikes in the barn at the back of the hotel for us and another guest who was also on a motorcycle. Hotels that can offer this facility are very few and far between. As a family run hotel competing in a very competitive industry this service should be promoted. Far more motorcyclists would choose this hotel if they knew this was an option available to them.
