The staff were nice enough on arrival, showed us to our room and we left for wedding. We didn't come back until midnight and the smell of musty damp was present. The kitchenette units were full of crumbs, there were cobwebs and spiders above the one single bed which we had to get rid of before sleeping. The sink in the one bathroom fills water and takes a while to go down. We returned the keys this morning and no mention of breakfast (which i later seen was meant to be included) Was ok, in need of a good revamp.

Staff were nice but the accommodation is very tired and in need of modernisation. We had tea making facilities… but no mugs, and an ironing board but no iron. It was very noisy, and after a long days travel we just wanted to get a good nights sleep. On the plus side although very tired the shower rooms were spotless. We were only there for one night, and probably would not have stayed more if were were booked for longer.

Your Bronilys Hotel
Very friendly and helpful staff; the rooms are very comfortable and quiet. There's a nice bar and restaurant for evening meals (fish and chips is quite good). Breakfast is continental, but there is a nice variety of cereals and toast and other items. The internet was quite good, by British standards.

Very poor value.
Room given not as picture on-line. Non atmospheric, soulless venue. Poor menu selection for an alleged hotel. More a pub with bedrooms. Paid £125, very disappointed.

Ok for one night stayed in a lot worse
Arrived to be told someone was given my room by mistake waited 10-15 mins not sure what was going on but give a room size that I had paid for so not sure if someone was moved or the room wasn’t ready so they quickly cleaned it. Staff were friendly enough but the place is dated some attempt at updating with new carpets and paint there was mould in the corner of the bathroom and bed wasn’t bed comfortable it’s a bit 6 out of 10 for effort. Breakfast was Continental not stated on the booking annoyingly as I had a long day at work ahead. There was funny smell like stale smoke in the room or something like that you got used to it but it was there

The man in charge was very nice indeed, There is free parking which is a bonus. Coffee at breakfast was nice. There is no restaurant, no cooked breakfast, no manned bar (although there is an honesty bar). It is thoroughly basic throughout. I wouldn't say it's dirty as such, but there is a doggy smell and it certainly feels like a deep clean is required, especially upstairs in the bedrooms. But the most amusing part was that because I was a single person staying in a double room, my second pillow, other towels and even the second mug were removed! In all my years of staying in hotels, I've never seen that!

Lovely stay at great little hotel.
Great stay at the castle hotel, staff very friendly and the room was lovely, we would definitely stay here again. The manager was very friendly and saw to our every need, even when I managed to pay for the room twice as I didn't know hotels.com had already taken the payment, he refunded the overpayment immediately.
