decent stay with some minor issues

free parking friendly staff welsh breakfast dusty room fiddly kettle limited storage

The location offered free parking, a definite plus. i also found the staff to be quite friendly (i even had a nice chat with one of them about local history). breakfast was good. The welsh breakfast was quite filling.

The room felt a bit dusty. A more thorough cleaning would help. the kettle was somewhat fiddly. It took a few tries to get it working. also, there was a lack of storage space for clothes (i only had a small drawer and a tiny wardrobe).
