9 of us booked in for tea, fantastic food, highly recommend the full rack of ribs. Good live music fantastic atmosphere. Staff kept the beer flowing, jokingly spoke to the chef about an apple free crumble, lo and behold one turned up much to our amusement. Will definitely call in again.
Liv and Niel (the new owners) were lovely hosts, making our stay very enjoyable. It has a wide variety of customers, from visitors to the area, to very friendly locals. The room we stayed in was large and warm with a very comfortable super king size bed. The pub is a great venue with open fires and a good value menu. We would highly recommend this hotel/pub with easy access to Strata Florida and the surrounding sites
Fantastic service the landlord when our of his way to feed us at short notice. And Jamaican food was great. Thank you.
Mike is great, he cooked 8 of us a Sunday roast and it was lovely
I was so lucky on my cycle trip along Cycle Route 82 to come across this pub, which had just reopened, under new owners and with a great new chef. The staff and locals couldn’t have been more friendly & welcoming, and they even let me camp in the riverside pub garden for free. I had a delicious meal in the lovely dining room with an open fire. My only regret is that I missed the Sunday lunch - everyone was raving about it! It’s very close to Strata Florida Abbey, so it’s ideal for cyclists, motorcyclists, and part of the scheme that welcomes motor homes & camper vans to park up overnight free as long as they have a drink or a meal in the pub. Looking forward to a winter trip & trying the en suite rooms next. Thanks to all there!
The most amazing food. Great vibe. Will definitely be returning.
We (4 of us) turned up at this hotel without reservations for Sunday Lunch and OMG how lucky were we! Our lunch was the Best Sunday Dinner we ever had! If we lived closer we would come here to eat every week without a doubt! Thank you
A perfect location to explore the Welsh western coast and the Cambrian mountains. I stayed here for 3 nights. The room was very comfortable and quiet. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. All were bi-lingual as were the locals I met. They were more than happy to help me learn how to pronounce some Welsh words and phrases. That was fun! The food is awesome! I recommend the Welsh lamb burger. Everything is freshly home-made by the owner. With a log fire, this is a classic olde-world pub - and is perfect! The fact that the locals frequent it and eat/drink there says a lot! I will return!! Thanks guys! Rob W
