Nice
Staff was really friendly. Food was enjoyable. It is an older hotel and needs some updating but it was clean. We stayed on the 3rd floor and there is a lot of stairs to get there so for an older person it might be hard but it was ok for us. It was quiet and the views were very pretty.

All staff were very pleasant and helpful, room was looking a little tired and the bed was too soft for my liking. Was lovely and quiet with a beautiful view.

Another comfortable night in the country, close to Aberystwyth but full of country charm. Who could ask for a better waterfall viewable from the beer garden, it could be a tourist attraction in it's own right.

Located in a lovely part of Wales this place has the best staff who are lovely, genuinely welcoming and helpful. The food reminded me of my mum's coming in a very good way indeed with delicious options for every taste with gluten free and veggie options. Good home style cooking. Bedrooms are neat, spotless and comfy. Location is just gorgeous, make sure to take a stroll into the low hills behind and see the waterfall and river. Did I say the people were lovely, cos they are.

Karen, one of the owner, could not have been more helpful. We were there for one night to go to my dad’s funeral. I had to ring the hotel twice for advice about something and Karen went out of her way to help. Breakfast was lovely a good selection and set us up for the day. Although the building is old it was spotless. A beautiful waterfall at the bottom of the garden. Lots of bird life flying around. Perfect. Thank you Karen and family

Perfect stop for our quick overnight stay.
We were visiting the Uni in Aberystwyth the following morning and with a 4 hour journey needed an affordable, easy to find stop off. The staff were so friendly. Room was perfect for our quick overnight stay. Very quiet area with great views. Lovely traditional bar to have a relaxing drink and snack in. Didn’t eat at hotel but the dining space looked clean and inviting. Will definitely use this hotel again as my son will be attending the uni from Sep I will be making that journey often and there lots of attractions to visit in the area.

Escape to the country
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, it was quiet and comfortable which was what we needed for our few days away. Service was excellent and the portions of food defeated us every time.if you need a quiet escape to the country we would recommend the George Barrow.
