"Haven’t visited this place for a long while and unfortunately after our experience I won’t be rushing to return. Such a shame as previously had really good times here. We arrived and the staff on the bar were to be fair very helpful and saw to us straight away, we informed them we had a table booked and she took us straight through, telling us we could place an order for drinks at the table and that it would be table service. They didn’t actually come to take our drinks order for over 20 minutes. Finally took our drink order and then had another 25 minute wait until the drinks arrived! In this time we had placed our food order and it was only that I asked the waiter taking the food order where our drinks were that he went to check. Otherwise, who knows how long we would have waited! Water was requested and arrived room temperature with red hot glasses straight out of the dishwasher, the result being Luke warm table water. No ice was offered. The food was VERY slow to arrive, we only ordered one course but we waited 50 minutes from ordering to the food actually arriving. And when it did it was Luke warm, and tasteless. I had the lentil and mushroom tagliatelle which was a tiny portion at a whopping £16, Luke warm and with absolutely no flavour at all. The other main ordered was nut roast, which looked nice however the feedback was that the nut roast was like packet sage and onion stuffing mix with some nuts sprinkled on top. Unfortunately we won’t be returning. Food was overpriced, Luke warm, small portions, long waiting times and seriously bland. Someone needs to buy them some herbs and spices and get some depth of flavour in those dishes!"

"Great little place just a short drive from Llangollen, we stayed here en route to our final destination in north wales for a long weekend. Made to feel very welcome upon arrival, with one young lady showing us to our room which was a nice, traditional touch. There was no wine list, so couldn’t really see what the choices were before ordering, resulting in quite a steep price for a bottle for us to share (we did ask but we’re told they hadn’t been printed). The food in the hotel itself is relatively average and quite dry, so wouldn’t particularly rush back to dine there. We had booked a superior room, which is advertised as having a working coffee machine, but this wasn’t the case when we got to the room. A standard kettle and a few tea bags and coffee sachets isn’t quite what we were expecting. The room’s linen was wonderful and overall spectacularly clean. Breakfast as a whole was adequate and continental, which is a dreadful shame considering where the property is located. They could easily support local suppliers to produce an excellent cooked breakfast, even if it had come at an extra cost I’d have happily paid it. To conclude, and even as a young person, I feel obliged to have to point out that the absence of ‘managerial/experienced oversight’ was definitely noticeable, which placed employees sometimes in difficult situations when being asked about drink and food choices. When questioned, the site manager seemed a little more interested in running the newly purchased/acquired pub; The Oak, just up the road from the hotel. I understand colleagues need time to use their initiative, but one colleague had stated it was her first day. Overall I have to say poor leadership. Despite this, the place is clean, comfortable and ideally situated if you’re looking for a one/two night stay."
