Llys Meddyg

Super stylish hotel with a personal touch. It is family run so no corporate vibe or souless identikit here, more of a quirky take-us-as-we-are relaxed mood. I was upgraded to the largest room at the top with a humongous bathroom and one of the comfiest beds I've ever slept in, with the softest of bedding, slanted ceilings and moody cocoony colours. The breakfast was gargantuan, no other word for it. Plenty of choice and plenty of it. I also recommend eating in the restaurant. Last not least, you are bang in the centre of this beautiful holiday hotspot on the West Wales coast, with everything on your doorstep. I am a return visitor, I guess that says it all!

Some what surprised by the negative reviews of this place but can only comment on the evening meal we had there a few weeks ago as we did not stay at the hotel. We found the food, served in the main restaurant, interesting, somewhat different, nicely presented and very flavoursome. Not an extensive menu, not large portions and on the high side cost wise but service was good. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal and came away very satisfied (and would also recommend "Les Oliviers Cotes du Rhone" if that's to your taste).

Booked two rooms at £130 each for a luxury break in early March. On checking in one room was unsuitable due to the bed which was very low with a mattress on a wooden platform, impossible for two elderly people to cope with. They couldn’t offer us a better alternative so my friend had to stay in another hotel. The other room seemed ok at first but later I found it very cold with only one radiator and four single-glazed windows so had to keep my coat on. In the morning the bathroom radiator was switched off with no knob to switch it back on and the over-bath shower could only produce lukewarm water so it was very cold. The washbowl was cracked. The floor covering on the staircase to this room was badly worn and dangerous. The restaurant was in a separate building from the main one so had to be accessed via a long outdoor path even for breakfast and the toilets for this building were also outdoors. My friend and I had nothing resembling a luxury break and were very disappointed indeed in every aspect of our experience with this hotel. Despite outlining my complaints no compensation was offered and I felt very surprised that I was expected to pay £130 for such poor accommodation. I will not be returning.
