I have dogs, this is one of the best pet friendly hotels I've stayed at. Friendly, helpful staff, nice curry house just along the road and a short drive to the Parkrun I was taking part in. Thanks 😊

Lovely stay at great little hotel.
Great stay at the castle hotel, staff very friendly and the room was lovely, we would definitely stay here again. The manager was very friendly and saw to our every need, even when I managed to pay for the room twice as I didn't know hotels.com had already taken the payment, he refunded the overpayment immediately.

Your Bronilys Hotel
Very friendly and helpful staff; the rooms are very comfortable and quiet. There's a nice bar and restaurant for evening meals (fish and chips is quite good). Breakfast is continental, but there is a nice variety of cereals and toast and other items. The internet was quite good, by British standards.

Good service, but ok overall
The service was great, and Ray was the perfect host but the cleanliness let the hotel down. All the essentials were clean - bath, sink and bedding so that was good, but the floor in the bathroom hadn’t been hovered so was quite hairy, and there were some windows in the communal areas that were a bit mouldy.

Shocking
I cannot believe this hotel is rated as good. Filthy carpets on way to rooms, halway covered in dirt, cobwebs in the room, dust on all the furniture, bed was as soft as marshmallow, no soap in toilet, just terrible. In fact it was that bad we didn't even stay, we just handed back the keys and walked out despite losing our payment.

Total lack of care of the property in general. Rat faeces in drawers with water leaks and a major sewerage burst on our front steps as we were packing up to leave.

Needs some maintenance and a good clean
Hotel was in need of some maintenance and a good clean. Paint peeling from walls and damp stains with mould on windows, as well as stained carpets. Stale smell in the hallways and the walls are incredibly thin, so you can hear everything from adjacent rooms.
Breakfast was basic and very much ‘self service’, with instant coffee power, cheap loaves of bread and toasters for you to sort out yourself. ‘Service’ was not a priority and we didn’t really see any members of staff while we were there.
Did the job for one night but we did not want to spend any more time there than we had to.

Staff were nice but the accommodation is very tired and in need of modernisation.
We had tea making facilities… but no mugs, and an ironing board but no iron. It was very noisy, and after a long days travel we just wanted to get a good nights sleep. On the plus side although very tired the shower rooms were spotless. We were only there for one night, and probably would not have stayed more if were were booked for longer.

The staff were nice enough on arrival, showed us to our room and we left for wedding. We didn't come back until midnight and the smell of musty damp was present.
The kitchenette units were full of crumbs, there were cobwebs and spiders above the one single bed which we had to get rid of before sleeping.
The sink in the one bathroom fills water and takes a while to go down.
We returned the keys this morning and no mention of breakfast (which i later seen was meant to be included)
Was ok, in need of a good revamp.
