Three of us used this B and B recently for a one night's stay. It is in desperate need of refurbishment and update. Although clean, the bedding was from the 60's era together with the curtains and the dusty artificial flowers which adorned the walls. No fluffy duvet or pillows here - although bitterly cold outside my bed had only... More

I have travelled all over the world during my 57 years and my husband is 62. We have never met such rude arrogant people. Booked a groundfloor room which sounded nice with French windows with access to the garden.as we have a dog and my knees are a bit troublesome. We were told not to arrive until 4.00pm. When we...

On 20th September three of us stayed in Room 8: we booked a double bed and a put-me-up for £90 with a £40 deposit. The photos on the website are accurate but the text is not. By no stretch of the imagination was Room 8 “splendid” or “lavishly decorated”. We could forgive the cacophony of patterns fighting it out between... More

Some friends at uni stayed in the Captain's house and recommended it to us. We booked a week in room 9, a lovely bedroom with a balcony, with dramatic views over the river, gardens and the valley and an awesome bay window to gaze out of! This is a truly beautifully kept B&B with nice kind friendly owners. Their knowledge... More

We didn't stay there but had a flavour of the kind of customer service you are likely to receive...We had lunch which was inedible (Welsh rarebit with a river of melted stilton...urhg!) so I complained (nicely) saying there was far too much stilton. I was told not to order stilton if I didn't like it and when I asked the... More

My wife and I recently stayed at The Captain's House B&B and enjoyed an excellent cream tea on our arrival when we were greeted by both Josie & Clifford (the owners). As I have walking difficulties we had the use of the large ensuite groundfloor double bedroom which overlooks the River Lyn. All very comfortable and cosy. For the costs... More
