I stay as business trip (which is usual selected hotel for). It is closed to my working location thus it is the first choice. However, the experience is different depend on the room I stay, sometime it is great (which the room is biggest), but sometime it is unacceptable (the room is next to stairs and very small, even for 1 person, if you are just sleeping which possibly be ok). So better to choose the room you want.

Stayed one night here Sunday , we as a large family group to celebrate a lovely family members 60th birthday in Cowbridge Rugby Club 400 yards away. Brilliant stay lovely staff, nice clean spacious room, superb Welsh breakfast across the road in The Penny Farthing Cafe Situated in the centre of the really nice town centre. (Get in touch before as it’s difficult to find the car park around the back. Well worth a visit the Sunday lunch looked good

A very nice hotel with private, secure parking. Room was excellent, although the TV only had one channel (BBC1) and the restaurant area that our room overlooked, made it a little noisy. The staff were excellent and couldn't help enough. A good stay.

The room was overdue for re-decoration, the wooden sash single glazed windlooked like an original and was just about holding together. Traffic noise from the road was intrusive. The restaurant food choice was pathetic with the only proper meal offering was fish & chips, the rest were just snacks. We stayed in room number 11 and you definately needed to be fully mobile just to climb the steps. The room was dark the small bathroom even darker. If you depend on having Wi Fi don't go here it is painfully slow if and when you can make a connection. On the plus siide the water pressure was good. the bedding was clean and the staff were friendly.
