The staff was extremely helpful. The room we had in a newer part of the building was very large and had a kitchenette. The room was very clean, the bed extremely comfortable. The pub had terrific food. I would highly recommend staying here.

We were so impressed (Americans, first time in UK) by the beauty of Wales. An ancient inn, within the walls of the medieval city, with beautiful and friendly people?) yes - we love it and we want to come back!
