“I found this hotel to be a peaceful retreat despite its location at the edge of town, proving easily walkable to the ferry terminal. The views from the terrace, overlooking a picturesque cove and marina with Holyhead mountain in the backdrop, were particularly striking. With its comfortable rooms, vegan-friendly dining, and proximity to swimming and hiking spots, it's a place I'd consider for a longer stay to fully explore the area.”

decent stay overall

large roomspacious bathroomnice staffold sofasmismatched furnituretoilet smell
The room was large and spacious. i really liked the big bathroom. i found towels, a hair dryer, and an ironing board. Everything i needed was there. the staff were nice , i will say that much.
The reception area seemed like a place where old sofas are dumped , it really looked mismatched. i wouldn't want to sit on those sofas , honestly. as i walked in the front door , the smell from the toilets near the bar was not great. It just wasn't cute.

The location was ideal. It was only a short drive to my meeting. the evening meal was very tasty, and breakfast was also good.
My room was basic. There was a very tiny sink! there was nowhere to hang wet towels. limited space for my things existed. the loud music from the bar until 1 am was difficult. This happened once .
