I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the location was wonderful for exploring the nearby canal and the staff were genuinely friendly, the rooms could use some serious cleaning and updating. The dining experience fell short as well, with some odd arrangements and limited options for meals. Overall, it had potential, but there are several areas that need improvement.

The rooms had plenty of space but felt well-worn and in need of a deep clean. I appreciated having an iron and board in the room, so I didn’t have to request one from reception.

The hotel has a stunning location right on the canal, making it a peaceful retreat. The rooms are beautifully decorated and very comfortable, though I was a bit let down that there was no spa discount for guests. The staff was nice and attentive, but not overly friendly; I expected more warmth. Overall, it's a great value for money, but the dining could use some improvement.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While I appreciated the friendly staff and the lovely location by the barges, I struggled with the condition of the rooms and the dining experience was less than ideal. It felt more like a budget motel at times, and the breakfast service was chaotic. Overall, it wasn't worth the price charged.

I really liked my stay at this hotel, mainly because it had such a spacious room and the staff was mostly friendly and helpful. However, I did notice some cleanliness issues that detracted from the overall experience, and the dining experience could definitely use some improvement with the self-service coffee machines.

I had a comfortable stay in a lovely hotel primarily due to its great location along the waterfront. However, the room I was in had a strong smell of stale cigarettes, which was quite off-putting. While the facilities were decent and there was an excellent shower, the dining experience could definitely use some improvements. The service was hit-or-miss, with some staff being friendly, but others came across as unhelpful. Overall, it’s a decent place, but it has a few drawbacks that could make it better.

I had quite a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms had all the necessary facilities and were fairly comfortable, there was an unfortunate damp smell, and it would have been nice to have some outdoor seating. The service left a lot to be desired, with some cleanliness issues and a lack of proper management. The location near Llangollen and the stunning views were definite highlights, but the noisy atmosphere from weddings and other guests was a downside. Overall, it’s a reasonable stay with some room for improvement.

My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were quite tiny and a bit on the hot side, which made it uncomfortable during my stay. The service from the staff, however, was wonderful and they were quick to help out. The location was pretty, near Llangollen and with lovely gardens, but it was marred by some untidiness. Dining was also a letdown with a standard buffet that often ran out of key items. Overall, while the hotel has potential, it needs some improvements to truly shine.

My stay at the hotel was quite the mixed bag. The location was really serene and beautiful, right by the canal, which I loved. The rooms were clean but honestly in a pretty poor state of repair with some cobwebs and stains, which was disappointing. The staff were very friendly and always ready to help, but the overall dining experience fell short, especially the breakfast which could have used fresh options. It's a decent spot, but I hope they can address the issues with the rooms soon.
