Liked: The location
Disliked: It needed a lick of paint, things needed attention, toilet roll holder was broken, mirror not on wall, there seemed to be a lot of mish mash furnicture in the lounge/kitchen that could have been organised better, The property on the whole looked and felt tired and the lighting was bad and there was beeping alarm sounds coming from the hall thoughout the night.

Liked: the location was wonderful - right by the train station and only a bit of a walk onto the high street. the best part though was by far the staff and the regulars at the pub - they made the stay fabulous and i wish i had more time to see them!
Disliked: it was too bad that i couldn't stay longer.

Liked: Its pretty straight forward. In a hotel but the room is a bunk room. The beds are TERRIBLE but clean. Its a cute quiet little town and a bus ride to hay on wye.
Disliked: Beds are terrible. Check out was impossible because no one was around at 10 and there really is no breakfast. There is a small kitchen downstairs with ant infested bread for making toast.

Liked: The owner was friendly and you could get wifi
Disliked: The facilities were very poor. The sink was broken in our room, no toilet holder so the loo roll just rolled around the floor, not enough forks in the kitchen to eat our meal, no drying up cloths, a rude cleaner. Honestly, I could not recommend this place although the owner was friendly.
