The First Hurdle is essentially two buildings that have been joined to make one, hence it's a deceptively big place. It's also an old place which must have quite a history, sadly there wasn't any information on display to tell us. First impressions weren't brilliant as we were greeted by a strong smell of cigarette smoke in the stairs which... More

Just got back from a nights stay in between two days diving and I am thoroughly impressed. I think myself and the dive school will be staying here regurly. The service was fantastic, the rooms were kept do a high standard and the experience as a whole was very welcoming.

We just keep coming back and can't thank Jane enough for her helpful and friendly hospitality. The rooms are always clean, the breakfast hearty and the welcome as warm as you could wish for. Look forward to our next visit to the area and will for sure be staying at the First Hurdle.

As the first stop on our Offa's Dyke path we had high expectations for The First Hurdle because the name indicated that it would be suited to walkers. However, the room was cramped and not particularly clean. A very disappointing start.

Good location and clean comfortable room. Provision for cyclists with storage. No soap or shampoo provided with the shower facilities. Breakfast - shortage of eggs in a B&B with Tesco just down the road, otherwise average .

Enjoyed staying here at the First Hurdle, we were warmly welcomed when we had arrived (although we were two hours late) The rooms are clean and comfortable and the breakfast was lovely in the morning. The guesthouse is in the centre of the town (although you'd never know it as it is so quiet in the guestrooms) so all the... More

If you are looking for a plastic, sterile place to stay then this is not the place for you. However if you like staying in older buildings with a bit of character then read on. The building is at least 150 years old which means the walls are very thick and soundproof. It was only at a pretty decent breakfast... More
