Reviews and Ratings
I had a fantastic dining experience at this lovely place! The food was out of this world, and the atmosphere really took me back in time. However, the Yorkshire pudding with my beef dinner was a bit burnt, and the chicken dish could've used some stuffing. Despite these minor issues, I'm eager to return for another meal!
I had a delightful experience at this hotel. The staff were amazing, making me feel welcome and accommodating throughout my stay. The rooms, while nice, had some cleanliness issues that needed addressing. However, the dining options were quite impressive and definitely worth trying out. Overall, it was a good value for the price, but there's room for improvement in the room maintenance.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel while walking the Welsh Coast Path. The location was fantastic, right on the path with easy access. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the meals were hearty and delicious. However, the initial impression of the hotel's upkeep could be improved, and parking was a bit tricky to navigate. Overall, a great value for an enjoyable stay.
I had a memorable stay with delicious food and comfortable rooms at The Waterloo. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, but I did find the neighborhood a bit concerning upon arrival. The amenities are satisfactory, but there were some cleanliness issues that could use improvement.
