Roadhouse LLanwenarth

Roadhouse LLanwenarth

10/10 Excellent
"Staff were extremely obliging and helpful, although a little overrun at times. Parking very spacious. Balcony rooms were lovely with views way across the hills and along the river. Breakfast was very nicely cooked and presented, although it would have been good to have muesli and fresh fruit as an additional choice to the cooked dishes. Our push bikes were kept nice and secure. We were a little apprehensive that the motorbike cafe and theme would be noisy especially at night but the bikers were mostly of a certain age and we had peaceful sleep very night, in spite of the creaking floorboards and thin walls. All in all, they gave us a very pleasant few days and we wish the new owners all the best for the future as they've made a really good start!"

"We really enjoyed our three night stay. The staff and the food were excellent. The location of the hotel is ideal for exploring the area or popping over the border in to Wales. We were able to park right outside the door to our room which was well equipped and comfortable. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again or recommend it to others."
