Lovely place, we stayed for 1 night as a last minute visit to newquay. Was 30 minutes drive away. Staff was friendly at check in and room was perfect for what we wanted and good value for money. Would definitely stay there again when back in the area. Thank You
Jessica, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Lovely comfortable clean room, bit of damp behind sink showing on wall, felt breakfast should be included in price, stayed middle of Cardiff with breakfast included 3 weeks ago, dining area very clean and presentable, back area a bit scruffy, friends had food there the night befor and said it was really good .
Cheryl, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The dining area was lovely, and the breakfast was small, but very good. The bar area was good and there was ample parking. The staff were very friendly and helpful, although the housekeeping team and waitresses would benefit from some training. The bed was very comfortable, but the bedroom was lacking the niceties. It was however, good value for money. Lampeter itself is very small, and I fear for it, with its loos of the University.

Nice room, comfy bed and great staff. We had dinner in the restaurant and the food was hot and tasty. Only one small issue with water pressure in the shower but I would stay again despite that.
Karen, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great experience

Lovely service from the moment we set foot in the hotel to leaving from the friendly staff. Check in was quick and easy. Our room on the second floor was clean, spacious and well equipped. The bed was super comfy and the room was quiet at night, even though we overlooked the street. The bathroom was very clean with lovely toiletries. We had an evening meal which was delicious and also breakfast which was equally as good. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.
Julia, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Pleasant one night stay, rubbish water pressure.

One night stay en route to Cardigan. The single room was spacious enough for me with a big tv, nice bathroom and a nice big window letting in natural light. The floors were a bit creaky in and outside the room and the water pressure wasn't great. Other than that it was a lovely stay with helpful and friendly staff.
Rebecca, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

My wife’s parents got married in this property 70 years ago, so we decided to stay here as part of our family history trip. The building is from the 1700s but it has been updated and has a ton of charm. The key boxes were all checked: the bed was comfortable, it was quiet at night and the water pressure was good. A full welsh breakfast was included. We also had dinner in the restaurant. It was a bit pricey but tasty. The staff was wonderful: hard working and attentive. Would definitely stay here again.
Alan, 1-night trip

Hot but comfortable

A good upgrade to the hotel. Rooms comfortable. This was the hottest day of the year and a fan in the room would have been helpful
john, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Hotel was not great breakfast was poor as staff this were running late due to being locked out of hotel. Water pressure in room was rubbish, bath didn't hold water. Very noisy heating system. Staff were friendly enough hotel was clean and well presented.
