Recently renovated hotel done to a high standard. The room we had was great with attention to detail in the room. Real character to the bar downstairs with a great range of beers. The best but was the breakfast which was superb. We'll be back!
Verified review

8/10 Very good

The quality of the food was excellent; dinner was delicious and a good selection at breakfast. The room was better than expected, with a nice spacious bathroom. The bed was comfy, although being ear plugs as there was noise from the road and a nearby boiler/water pipes (room10). Staff were always very chatty and friendly.

Staff very welcoming when we arrived, since we were early had lunch as too early to check in. very nice lunch of homemade soup. Bedroom was cosy & very clean. Very nice bathroom but very small & the only criticism was the sink was extremely small. Would have been ok in a cloakroom. Breakfast was very good & Elizabeth who served us was lovely & friendly. Hotel very central but trying to find the car par was difficult as its all one way streets. We parked down the bottom of Quay Street , where there is a big car park & you can pay for 24 hour @ £7. Would stay again if we go to Cardigan.

Excellent stay. Great welcome and an un-planned early departure due to a family emergency meant i was going to miss breakfast....the lovely staff ensured i had a coffee to go and a bite to eat to take away. Many thanks, See you again!

Room not ready on arrival. Water in room on arrival only I was told. This was apparently incorrect. Handed in my thoughts on feedback paperwork in room, so I won’t go on. Could improve communication and policies with staff. Hopefully they will take note. Convenient spot in town. Breakfast was good.
