I stayed at a hotel located in a beautiful part of the world with comfortable beds and a modern bathroom. The room was lovely and warm, but a bit small and cramped. It was a bit too warm unless we opened the windows, and the shower area needed improvement as there was no room to stand in the bath to use the hand shower head.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and really nice quality, much better than the standard room I had before. The service was top-notch, with excellent housekeeping and even pet amenities available. The location couldn't have been better, allowing me to easily reach all parts of Crickhowell on foot, and the staff were so friendly and welcoming, making me and my dog feel right at home. The dining experience, especially the Welsh breakfast, was absolutely delicious. However, I wish there were more choices beyond just cereals. Overall, a fantastic stay with great value for money.
