The Inn is within easy walking distance to the town centre, and the famous 13th-century Castle. An old Inn dating back to 1522 and with its wooden paneling, low ceilings, and thick wooden support beams generates a cosy 'Olde Worlde' Welsh atmosphere.

“Great place to stay”

Reviewed 21 May 2013 NEW

Myself and two friends stayed here for four nights on a golfing trip to North Wales. We had picked out this place last year but it was fully booked, so we made sure we booked well in advance this year. Great place, full of character, rooms were spotless, very comfortable. Very good choice of food for breakfast. Plus we all... More

“Superb B&B”

Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW

Having stayed in some very poor B&B's in Wales, this one was a real treat. The room was spotlessly clean as was the rest of the pub/hotel, which isn't easy in such an old property which, in itself, is full of character. The staff were without exception friendly and helpful and any small problem is sorted out quickly and efficiently.... More

So kind of you to write this lovely review of us . We are indeed an olde Inn and so glad you appreciate how difficult it is to keep an old Inn in this condition. The staff here are a credit to us in achieving this standard.We hope you will come back to stay with us again. More

“No 1 pub hotel”

Probably the best hotel of our Wales trip, a very old pub (16th C) with two bars and an excellent restaurant. We had three good meals there (hake fillet, braised beef, scampi). The stairs are narrow and steep and the are lots of black wooden beams to give the place character. Breakfast is served in a separate house and there... More

Thank you for this lovely review . I am so glad you enjoyed the character of the Inn. More

Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW

Turned up with my skeptical husband who wasn't too sure but from the moment we stepped through the door, all his fears disappeared. The room was No.3 and had a nice big super king bed. It was very clean and tidy with everything that we could have wanted - ironing board, fan, hair dryer and flat screen tv. Whilst the... More

Thank you for the review . I am so glad we pleased your husband during your visit .All our rooms are different , room 3 does have small bathroom. When we refurbished the Inn it was fun trying to make everything fit More

Stayed for a night in the Black Jack Suite. Large room; good quality furnishings; kitchenette (hob - no oven); peaceful; clean and very comfortable. It is at the top of three flights of stairs; but the quality of the room more than makes up for it. What set this place apart was the service. We arrived after a serious incident... More

I really must apologize to you regarding the mishaps during your stay .As you stated our reviews are very good and it is unusual for the staff to get things so wrong .

Found this lovely inn while looking for somewhere to eat. We popped in and as time was getting on we decided to eat. So glad we did. Food was wonderful. Yes good portions, but after a day exploring it was most welcome. And we ate here for the duration of our stay. No complaints at all. Lovely delicious flavoursome food... More
