The hotel is nestled in a beautiful valley with fabulous views. The rooms are equipped with all required facilities and powerful showers, offering a comfortable stay. The service is top-notch, with excellent housekeeping and pet amenities available. However, dining options are limited, and the Welsh pastries could be better.
