I needed a quick night stop on the way to Aberystwyth so this was only going to be a B&B stop. However, points of note are: (1) Friendly staff (2) In need of a good update - rooms OK but clearly in need of TLC (3) Room had a few places of thick dust and cobwebs (4) Hotel in the main had "stuff" in the corridors and things piled-up in certain rooms which were visible

A very well run and welcoming family-owned and managed hotel, in a perfect location for exploring mid Wales and the beautiful Cambrian mountains. Our room was very comfortable and had lovely views over the Rheidol valley. The hearty breakfasts were a great start to a day's walking.

I came across this place while camping nearby with my kids. We were craving a proper home cooked meal by our last night and it didn’t disappoint. We had first stopped at Hafod hotel but that looked extremely overpriced so we’re glad to find this lovely small and cosy place a few minutes away with much more reasonable prices. The garden is also really pretty with a beautiful view. They serve food to non residents until 7.30pm. The Chinese stir fry with home made sauce was so good! Three of us had that and one of my other daughter had the vegetarian chilli, which she also loved. There is a kids menu but my kids wanted the adult options. The desserts were even better, especially the caramel biscuit cheesecake! The staff were friendly and helpful. The friendly owner came and chatted to me while my kids were playing. She explained to me a bit about the background of the hotel.

What a wonderful hotel. Staff were very helpful, welcoming and friendly. It has a lovely beer garden with amazing views. We spend the evening there and enjoyed watching the red kites flying around. The food was delicious as was the breakfast! Will definitely stay here again!

I spent two nights at the George Borrow prior to (& after) a motorcycle tour with the nearby Sweet Lamb complex, and the hotel was ideal as well as very convenient. An old 17th century Coach inn, named after a Welsh writer and in a nice location, the en-suite rooms were clean, comfortable, with tea/ Tv etc and had all the other facilities that I may have needed such as a bar, restaurant, parking (plus a more secure area for motorcycles) and wi-fi. The food was good and the owners/staff were really accommodating, so I will certainly return to the hotel for next year’s tours and nearby training courses.

Lovely old hotel in scenic surroundings. The hosts were very accommodating, serving good home cooked meals and a lovely breakfast. The hotel is extremely biker friendly, providing good secure parking. Would recommend this lovely hotel as a place to stay. Tony & Keith - Lancashire
