Good Hotel Guide Review
Guests enjoy the warmth and friendliness of a traditional guest house combined with all the space and privacy they could wish for at this unusual rural B&B which ‘couldn’t be better’. In gentle countryside, a short drive from sandy beaches, it centres on a pretty Victorian farmhouse, with smart contemporary accommodation in converted stables, granary, mill and threshing barn. Now the Garden Room has been upgraded to a suite, all have a separate sitting room, a kitchenette with espresso machine, fridge, mini bar and microwave, and their own outdoor space. Richard Morgan-Price and Huw Thomas have handed over the reins to Kathryn and Richard Jones, who plan to maintain their excellent standards. In the morning, tables are set with starched linen and fine china for breakfast. Help yourself to freshly squeezed orange juice, organic yogurt, and Agen prunes steeped in triple sec. Hot dishes include cockles, bacon and laver bread, locally smoked salmon, haddock, kipper, free-range farm eggs, the full Welsh or vegetarian. ‘For such an excellent place, the prices are amazing.’ (Dr John D. Lee)
