Newly refurbished hotel in a superb location

Pros: New & contemporary decor . Room of average size with generous storage , tastefully decorated and very comfortable bed. Good local produce breakfast.
Cons: Faulty tap and soap dispenser in bathroom. Tidy up of back garden which I suspect will happen in time
Location: Set in stunning countryside. Perfect for visiting Elan & Claerwen valleys & their spectacular dams & reservoirs as well as beautiful & historic walks
Typical of hotels of the area there is no main reception area as the hotel is fronted by a bar and restaurant so checkin is at the bar. Our room was of average size with a decent wardrobe and storage , tastefully decorated and a very comfortable bed . Breakfast was very good serving local produce. Service was a little slow given that we were the only ones taking breakfast but as a small hotel Sunday morning staff would have been limited. This could have been a perfect 10 except for the following points1 tap in bathroom wouldn't full close off so ran constantly as the the soap dispenser. 2 card machine on checkout was working so had to withdraw cask to cover the bill . Apparently this is a common problem in areas where internet signal is poor . 3 table for breakfast was located in a rear restaurant and overlooked the hills but unfortunately a not so tidy rear beer garden. I suspect the refund has yet to extend to the rear of the hotel In balance these are minor observations and we would definitely stay here again . The food in reputed to be very good and I would agree if breakfast was anything to go by so next time i would book for an evening meal . On this occasion we were meeting friends for a meal in another town. Regarding location generally iits located on the Main Street with its own parking to the rear . This is a historic little town and set in the most wonderful landscape all on the doorstep
