    Lack of cooked food

    I stayed overnight in a Double Room, which was extremely welcoming and modern. The staff were very helpful, and the room had clearly been refurbished recently. The only issue was that the pub wasn't doing food, and there is nowhere else to eat in Cynwyd, so I had to get in the car to get an evening meal. I can understand that issues like this arise, but I ought to have been made aware. The website still has a full menu listed, which is misleading. There ought to be a note on there until the issue is resolved. Having said that, the continental breakfast supplied was very nice, and I didn't really need a cooked breakfast. Everything I could need for breakfast was there, and again nicely presented. If the kitchen had been open, this place could have been close to perfect.

    Loved everything about our stay, rooms were so clean and modern and we expected to have 2 bedrooms but we actually had 3 which was great. The hot tub was amazing and perfect temperature and size, and everything was provided for the apartment. Truly exceeded our expectations!

    No spatula so had to do scrambled rather than fried eggs in the morning - although I'm pretty sure that if I had asked they would have got me one! Fantastic place!

    Had the superior apartment for 3 nights over New Year - 4 of us in the apartment, 2 stayed in the B&B. Excellent house as a base, warm and comfortable with the pub right over the road. Purpose of visit was to chill out, eat, drink and be merry, all of which were achieved! The food in the pub is excellent - fresh and reasonably priced. The staff and the locals were all really friendly and we had a great time in the bar with everyone. Enjoyed it that much we have already booked again for next year!

Great meal in the pub downstairs great location for where we needed to be. We will definitely be back when we need a BnB in Wales. Accept dogs with no extra charge as well! Thanks so much.

    Unfortunately the pub does not serve food on Monday or Tuesdays and no local takeaways deliver. However the Spar shop was well stocked to bought food from there. No problems with the property though.

    Great stay - lovely & cosy. Beds are very comfortable. Local Spar shop next door which was handy. Arrived early but was not a problem - picked the keys up from the Spar shop.

    Booked for Sunday night although we booked our arrival time at between 21.00 and 22.00, there was no- one thereto let us in, eventually our phonecall was answered and someone came to let us in after waiting 20 mins in the rain and cold! The breakfast was continental and there was plenty of choice, but there was no butter/ spread available to put on the toast!

    Nice room ensuite bathroom. Tea and coffee making facilities. We stayed two night but the tea and coffee weren,t refilled on the 2nd day, so we ran out of milk.
