    Substantial and satisfactory breakfast selection with over powerful flavour of leek in the sausage, beans, cooked items. Very central location - near to a castle and a tower.

    It was conveniently close to the town and a big plus was the car park. We consider the hotel very good for short stay.

    We did find our bathroom very small.

    For a cozy evening, grab drinks early at the bar before they close or head next door to Wetherspoons.

    Helpful and friendly service, and superb food. The location could hardly be better - just inside the medieval city walls and 3 mins walk from the castle

    The twin room we booked was at the back directly over the kitchen. A light sleeper might have difficulties with the noise of various fans and pumps etc throughout the night

    delicious food

    would come again

    Room 31 was super spacious with a huge bathroom and the biggest shower I've seen. The bed was comfy. The atmosphere was cozy with low beams. The staff were helpful. Great location, just a short stroll from the harbour and the castle. Food was awesome, especially the Welsh pie and chicken skewers. Parking was nearby, but it can get a bit tight.
