“Clean, comfortable & courteous”
Pleasant welcome made me feel relaxed & that I could ask for anything I needed. Room was pristine & looked newly decorated with immaculate carpet. Super comfy bed & breakfast was excellent as advertised. I had a good rest which prepared me for my onward journey to the Cambrian mountains. The station & amenities were close by as well.

Amazing waterfront hotel with views over the bay. It was so special to watch the sunset over the water from our bedroom window. The rooms are huge and very comfortable. The staff are lovely. Breakfast was great - lots of options and everything is cooked fresh.

“A really enjoyable last 2 days at the Glendower of an 11 day stay in Wales.”
Excellent breakfasts & dinners on both days of our stay. Lively pub area with plenty of atmosphere & a good selection of beers and wines. Comfortable room with dramatic see view (room 32). Best of all the friendly, helpful and diligent members of staff. Good advice on parking & we managed to get a spot outside the hotel back door. The hotel is very professionally managed & we felt genuinely welcomed.

This hotel was fantastic, mainly the staff, every single person we interacted with was happy and welcoming, which always gets your holiday off to a great start. The hotel was spotless, the room was super clean and comfy. We ate our evening meal here and hats off because mine was piping hot and the little ones was perfect temperature (can't remember the last time I had a hot dinner) and it was tasty. Breakfast was good, the addition of pancakes is good, my child rates the hotel 11/5 😁 The bar was popular, so that's a good sign but I would recommend booking for dinner.

“Excellent 👍”
I stay regularly stay visiting friends (my hometown) and the Glen as it's known locally is fantastic. Food and drink in the pub downstairs are excellent with a good selection of real ales too. Rooms are clean and comfy and if your lucky enough to have / book a sea view it's wonderful. Staff great too. Can't fault it 👍
