Good Hotel Guide Review
Tucked between the Brecon Beacons and the Black Mountains, this red brick inn glows with a warm welcome and down-to-earth charm that attracts walkers, dogs, families and couples. Brothers Edmund and Charles Inkin believe comfort and good food are key – as at sister properties The Gurnard’s Head, Zennor, and The Old Coastguard, Mousehole (see entries) – so expect a series of dining areas with an inviting mix of chunky cottage tables, mustard and teal sofas, flagged or timbered floors, plus open fires or an Aga. The daily-changing menu offers simple food done well such as slow-roasted lamb with couscous, smoked haddock fish pie and a handsome vegetarian choice; many vegetables come from the kitchen garden, meat from local farms. In warmer weather, you can eat outside. Bedrooms, with views to fields or mountains, have a smart but warm cottagey style with bold-coloured walls, tongue-and-groove panelling, country-style furniture and Welsh blankets on beds so comfortable that guests want to take them home. No TVs but fresh flowers, home-made biscuits, fresh milk, Roberts radios and botanical toiletries.
