Wonderful B&B. Last minute booking after ferry was cancelled. Family room was spacious and immaculately clean, with separate bunk bedroom. Ordered local pizza delivery and ate it in the lovely garden.
Breakfast buffet was fantastic, lots of choices and cooked to order. Thank you for making us feel so welcome at short notice.

We absolutely lucked out with this gem. The host, Mark, is hilarious, helpful and super kind. We really enjoyed room 8 with all the thoughtful extras. Our room had great linens and towels, tons of pillows, amazing light with double doors we could leave open and the bathroom was great with the most excellent of water pressure. They made us breakfast every morning which was nice. We took a 15 min walk and were at water’s edge. The town was lovely with good pubs. Thank you, Mark!!

A good bolt hole for the ferry and the rooms themselves were clean, if a little dated. Communication was good but the contactless check in makes it feel less friendly as there was no welcome.
It was really difficult to find somewhere to eat, it was a Monday evening, and the two local pubs were either closed or fully booked. No food options on the property and only one early breakfast sitting at 8 am.
We were just there for the night but any longer might have been tricky

Room 13 in the Annexe. 5 night stay

The room was spacious, with \"kitchen\"facilities that we weren't expecting (although a very stained mat in front of the sink).The bathroom was adequate and clean with basic toiletries. We had paid extra for a queen bed, but it was just a standard double. Breakfast was brought to the room with a choice of Full English or Continental. The food was hot but we were very disappointed to miss the \"hotel/guest house\" experience of going down to breakfast, being able to meet with other guests, choosing what we wanted to eat and having fresh toast and tea in a teapot! In fact, we were not allowed into the main building AT ALL, so we saw nothing of the bar, restaurant, lounge with piano, spa and all the other things described in the hotel website. I appreciate that SOME restrictions were down to COVID, but wherever we went during the week, we could go into pubs and restaurants to eat with the minimum of restrictions. It made the stay feel more like a self-catering experience, albeit one where breakfast was brought to us. We had been warned, just 2 days prior to our visit, that no breakfast would be provided on our first morning (we had already paid for this). I had to chase up the proprietor at the end of our stay for reimbursment for the missed meal.There was no daily housekeeping (okay, COVID again) but not even a toilet brush or roll of kitchen towel was provided. The general feeling was that COVID was being used as an excuse to offer limited facilities. Overall \"Could do better\"

Not for light sleepers

Pros: Convenient parking; clean; serious COVID precautions and preparations (contactless check-in, prepared basic list of nearby takeaways).

Cons: Overpriced for basic rooms. The most expensive B&B during my trip, yet the least comfortable and most threadbare. The house has old bones. You definitely get to know your fellow guests intimately, as you can easily hear their tellies even on low volume, as well as every conversation, snore, toilet flush, and creaky bed spring.

Communication: Aggressive messaging in caps.

Room 4

This review is for room 4. We were a little disappointed with the room size. We stayed in room 4 which we didn’t realize was the smallest in the hotel. On the plus side the bed room and shower room was very clean. We had a bit of a disagreements with the owner in regards to room description when booked the room had a bath now it only has a small shower. (So small that I could not turn around it - not for rugby sized people) also the size of the bed is a small (4 foot) double. This was also a issue for me and by partner in terms of getting a good nights sleep. On the plus side there seemed their are other room available and the breakfast (last sitting 9am) was excellent.

Both rooms were very clean, spacious and comfortable.

They picked me up and drove me back to the station with my luggage and have been most helpful during my stay. Very pleasant.

We needed to find a place to stay when returning late evening on the ferry from Ireland on the way to a day exploring South Wales. It ticked all the boxes as only 5 minutes from the port, was very quiet on the edge of town, was very clean and comfortable and the breakfast of cereal, fruit, yogurt, tea and toast was exactly what was needed. The precautions in regard to COVID were spot on so we felt safe and the management were very welcoming.
