Outstanding stay, food and company.
Amazing place and pub/overnight stay. This is a little gem and the owners and staff should be proud of the great pub and guest rooms they run. The locals are friendly and nice, and this pub is at the heart of the community as it should be. Anyone who wants fantastic food, great staff and company needing a room or meal within 20 miles of this place should divert there. I cannot commend this establishment enough. I travel all over the UK with my job, and this is by fsr my favourite place to stay bar none.

Amazing staff food beers and room. As a business traveler I’m helping the smaller businesses rather than the larger corporate ones. The food was amazing- saw local fish monger deliver van so no cash and carry food here. Beer selection was fantastic with local craft beers 🍺. Only a few rooms so don’t miss out

A very popular pub , restaurant and guest house. I’ve been here three times in the last few months and look for a reservation every time I’m working in the area. Just stayed over a damp wet Wednesday night and the place was bursting which was amazing to see. I recommend booking a table for food as there is not much of a chance to walk in . The rooms are clean & comfortable and has chairs and a desk I can work from if needed. Breakfast which is ordered the night before is wonderful, flavoursome and filling. As before , my first choice when working in the area.

Great Food, Beer and People
Excellent place to stay with really good food and great range of beers. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly making you feel like regular visitor in this small community pub. First class and would recommend it, even if only for some food, drinks and friendly faces.

Our room was exceptionally comfortable and impeccably clean, with a cozy bed that ensured a great night's sleep.  Additionally, our interactions with Monika were outstanding, and Rob and Maggie made us feel truly at home.  The Full Welsh Breakfast Maggie prepared was exceptionally delicious!  I highly recommend this Inn and would return if the chance presented itself.

Friendly and generous
Although this is essentially a pub with rooms (which I normally avoid like the plague) this one is well thought through and the owner has thought about privacy and peace in the design. Generous breakfast and great offer for an evening meal. Friendly and helpful staff. Would stay again. Room 2 where I stayed was adequate but a little tired and the mattress needs replacing.

A one night stay
We had a very enjoyable stay after a good family party at the pub. The attic room was very comfortable, though rather too warm. We had to open the windows, but the heavy rain that night meant we couldn't leave them open too much. Also, that heavy rain on the Velux windows did disturb us quite a bit. Nothing that the Inn could do about it, just lead to disturbed sleep.

Clean, decent sized rooms. I was initially concerned about noise from the bar below but this was not a problem, even with windows open and customers outside below. Because it was so warm, we did have all the windows open and noise from the nearby A470 was a bit of a problem. Great breakfast. We didn't eat in the restaurant but the menu looked good.

Convenient location England-Wales border
I chose the B&B based on location, coming from a long drive through Wales. I missed the fact that the pub is closed Mon/Tue: mea culpa. Was contacted via WhatsApp with check-in instructions. Worked for me but perhaps not everyone. The room, under the roof, was a bit hot.

Great country pub with accommodation near Cardiff.
This is a lovely pub with restaurant just north of Cardiff. It's in the country but only about 20 minutes out of the city by car. It's set at the bottom of a mountain/large hill, in beautiful countryside. At the top there are views over South Wales and beyond to Somerset. The pub has accommodation attached, with 3 rooms. Ours was comfortable, clean and well-appointed with good facilities. It was quiet in the room even though the pub was sometimes busy. The service-levels were high. The staff were attentive and friendly. They are really can do (where many places are not).. in particular, the owner/front of house manager Rob made sure all customers and guests were looked-after.. The bar staff were great and I want to especially mention Sarah who works there, Maggie and Rob managing the accommodation, they were all great.. Thanks for a memorable experience.
