“Delightful ancient building, perfect for a stay in South Wales. Warm welcome, great breakfast, excellent value. Ben’s room is highly recommended… Noteworthy details: Full of character, with original panelling and a medieval stone staircase. The newer part of the house is Tudor. Lovely views across fields towards the castle.”
