The breakfast was a disgrace, The location of the food terrible. If you are locked out of your room at night and you have left your mobile phone in the room, there is no way of contacting the Manager. There was mould and dirt between the bathroom tiles. It took over 5 minutes for the showers to get warm water. The soup was a tablet less than the size of a 50p and opened was in fragments. My feet were touching the bottom of the bed with little room. Getting in and out of the high sided bath was dangerous, there where no grab bars to assist. Traffic noise was a nuisance.

One night in Anglesey

Easy to find with a large parking. Calm room despite in front of the main road but it's far away to be the highway. Clean and spacious room with alll amenities. Great and warm shower. Breakfast consists in a single take away buffet and a fridge with milk and juices, with very few choices, in a tiny room. So don't expect a traditionnal cooked british breakfast.

In Limbo

I have stayed at this hotel before that’s why I rebooked, unfortunately I was told at check in that the restaurant was closed and no food was available. The bar was open until 9.00 pm. I was told breakfast would be available, self service but when I left at 7.00 am this was not available. Overall, good location, good parking, but could be a lot better. The manager explained that they were “trying to retire “. Someone take it on and release it full potential.

This pertains to be a hotel, it is not. It is a room with some cereals, fruit and juice left out supposedly.a continental breakfast. The room is dated and needs refreshing, there is No restaurant though it shows one one website. Hot water ran out one.morning as boiler on a timer as are radiators for drying clothing Overall a very poor value for money establishment,.known to locals as a rip pff I will not be going back Should not be advertised as a hotel by themselves or outside agencies

Lovely friendly experience, we were made to feel very welcome. Room was spacious, beds were ok, room was a bit dated overall. Grab and go breakfast was adequate and easy to get to, with fresh milk and a microwave if needed. Bar was nice and cosy and closes at 9pm.

Restaurant was closed, poor bar and only a poor cereal style breakfast on a help yourself table situated in the corridor outside the rooms. When we stayed here a couple of years ago, the restaurant and bar were open and both good plus a full English breakfast was served, this what we expected this time.

Make no bones this is not one for business travelers. No food on site. Plenty of local restaurants but your will have to drive. Breakfast is a cold continental. Staff are characters 👍

Unexpected

Very basic, breakfast was at the bottom of the stairs, cereal bread and little bit of fruit, had to eat in the bedroom ,bathroom was not up to standard, no staff to welcome me when i arrived, when the owner came in and checked my booking, he handed me the key for the building next door, wasn't impressed at all, i had a tent in my jeep and I was sorry that I didn't use it, never go back there.
