Stayed at The Feathers for four nights. It's history is very interesting. The room was clean with tea, coffee etc. The bed so comfortable I could have stayed in it all day. Housekeeping excellent. The staff friendly, helpful and work very hard. Cannot fault them. Food superb, fresh, locally sourced and plenty of it. Breakfast included and free parking. Great location to wander the short walk to the middle of town and the harbour or just sit outside. As an elderly lady on her own I was very well looked after.

Could be a lovely hotel if more attention paid to lots of little things that add up.

On the positive side -

Our breakfasts were very good (other than a chipped breakfast cup).
Staff were very pleasant.
Good parking at back of hotel.
Nice little bar area.

Very comfortable bed with nice clean linen and towels.

Then (if only someone paid attention to detail!),

Sticky, grubby door handles and stair rails

In the bedroom, coffee cup stains on the dressing table, a dirty pair of socks in the drawer, dried out contact lenses on the bedside table, crumbs around and behind curtain area, mould around windows, cobwebs, curtain off rail.

In the bathroom, mould in the shower and paint peeling on the ceiling, rusty shower soap tray, dirt and dust around radiator and on door mouldings, mould around window and on glass.

The room in need of a good deep clean, interior of drawers and wardrobe need wiping out.

There was limited evening meal choice when we stayed but it was still delicious, as was breakfast. The bedroom was a little too warm for our liking so we kept the window open, (frames need the mould removing though). All staff members were very friendly and helpful. Stairs to bedrooms/dining room/bar are a little steep so may not suit those with mobility issues.

we were welcomed at reception by a very friendly and helpful staff member who explained everything regarding our bed and breakfast stay. Very interesting old hotel with period features, surprisingly quiet, immaculate room, comfortable bed, plenty of towels and all toiletries. Fantastic service at breakfast with huge choice of food and we also had a fabulous evening meal. Again, I cannot praise all the staff for their attentive service. I will return as soon as i can. Free parking on site, lovely spot close to the town. Faultless in every way; highly recommended.. 6 stars!

The check in was disorganised with a member of staff ignoring us until she finally had to speak to us. The room had big problems. The main window in the bedroom had no lock on it and could only be secured by pushing two tea spoons down the side of it. The window opened onto an accessible flat roof. The full height window in the bathroom had no blind or curtain on it, again it opened onto the flat roof. The room was not serviced on the morning of our second day, we had to go and find a member of stall late in the afternoon to get clean towels

Nice hotel in a good location. Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice food for breakfast and in the bar in the evening, although one evening we tried to order at 5 minutes past 8pm and were told the kitchen was closed. Some redecoration would improve the corridors as doors seem to have been moved but ceilings and walls not quite finished yet. Good parking available and reasonably quick internet.

Shame about the standards - Location fantastic

Location fantastic. Potential to be very nice as there is plenty of character. Curtains hanging off the rail. Fly excrement on bathroom roller blind. No heating on in the room until way after check-in on a cold December evening.Radiator in bathroom not working. Rusty trays in shower. Stains on furniture. Very dated for the price. Cheaply made breakfast. Other places in town far better value and far better standard.

The owners are fantastic. Very cheerful and helpful. The building is huge with lots of options. They have an excellent chef. The food was on point. The sports bar was large and the bar was great for a more quiet drink. They had a good local musician who was fun and full of life. There is a great banquet room as well. The rooms are clean and more than adequate. Nice hot shower. Very charming location. Nice town with a cute waterfornt. Definatley worth a visit.

Breakfast was a full Welsh or Continental-beautifully served. I believe it is under relatively new ownership who have put a great deal of effort into this hotel. We enjoyed our stay there.

The Feathers Royal Hotel is superb. Clean as a pin, comfortable and very welcoming. The staff, without exception, are friendly, helpful and extremely approachable. Nothing is too much trouble. It has an Italian restaurant serving authentic Italian dishes - out of this world! I would recommend this hotel to anyone requiring a comfortable break with friendly hosts and staff. 5 star hotel? I would give it six!!

Check-in was easy and all necessary info regarding the hotel was given. The room was extremely clean & and tidy as was the whole hotel. Bar & breakfast service was faultless making for a friendly atmosphere.
My only criticism would be that some of the fixtures, fittings and furniture were dated but this is minor and would not detract from myself revisiting.
A very pleasant two nights for which I thank the landlord and his wife.

Hotel was fine but won’t blow anyone away. Cleanliness was good. Breakfast was good.
Bar shuts ridiculously early and there is nowhere to sit other than in your room or on the yard outside once they lock up. They would definitely benefit from a hotel lounge for guests.

We stayed four nights and had a very enjoyable time .The owners and staff were very friendly and helpful and as they were new owners they were keen to find out what we knew and thought about the area and the facilities as they were developing their vision for the hotel .The bar and outside seating area attracted not only guests but others during the day and early evening . Breakfast was good but the restaurant was closed and due to reopen later this week and alternatives for dinner were arranged . We would stay here again as its a good location and easily accessible to the centre of the town

Great friendly hosts….

We had a very warm welcome from Brid and Stefano. We were disappointed to be told on arrival that the Chef had been “pinged” so the restaurant had to close. A great shame as the menu looked to be excellent and was one of the reasons we booked.We had difficulty in finding restaurant bookings for the two nights as most were booked up. Not a good start to a two night stay .
The bedroom was large and comfortable with a great en-suite bathroom..a quirky floor was in keeping with the age of the building..due for replacement in the near future.
The breakfasts ,a full English was full of high quality ingredients well prepared by Janet and her team ; the yogurts were delicious!
We were impressed with the refurbishments done on the downstairs area and also their enthusiasm to continue upstairs.
The two nights though turned out to be an enjoyable stay with great hosts..who moved from Tuscany to West Wales . We hope to return next year to sample the excellent menu and catch up with the next stage of refurbishments from Stefano and Brid.
