    Beautifully situated next to Devil’s Bridge, the staff were friendly, the room was beautiful and the food was delicious! I would definitely stay here again.

    Be aware there is no lift, there are three floors. Not an issue for us, but some may struggle. If I had to offer any criticism, which is begrudging because we had such a good stay, there's a few things that would have made our stay even better. We had looked ahead at the online menu in the restaurant, however the menu had been updated but not online. The online menu needs to be updated in a timely manner. The meals we were hoping to order weren't available. We found alternatives but remained slightly disappointed. The room was very lovely, pillows are good quality, but I'd advise pillow protectors to keep them in good condition, and possibly a cover for the duvet too to avoid stains. The sofa beds are not comfortable, maybe add a mattress topper for comfort. Put a hook at the end of the shower for a towel. The car park - it's huge but it requires some TLC, the entrance has pot holes, there's a couple of cars left there that don't make the car park feel secure. It is a short walk on a slope to the Hotel, it would be great to be able to walk through a woodland/ the old gardens again to be able to access the Hotel off the road, for safety.

    The building has been beautifully and thoughtfully restored, using quality fittings and furnishings. The staff that we interacted with were great, friendly, helpful and human. I had a phone call before we arrived to check our room requirements, the staff upgraded us to a suite to ensure we had sufficient space. The room was indeed spacious, and it was quiet, and we had amazing views over the gorge. The bathroom is well thought out, with the shower controls away from the rainfall head, avoiding getting a soaking before turning on the shower. The main bed was large and comfortable, with high quality duvet and pillows. The towels were big and fluffy. There is a sofa and large T.V with tables in the sitting zone, and drinks making facilities available, we enjoyed the complimentary rather yummy shortbread. We sat in the bar and had a drink, we found it welcoming and comfortable, we dined in the restaurant, and had a really good breakfast. We most certainly want to return. Perfect location for exploring the Bridge and gorge and going to Aberystwyth on the little train. If you do go, be sure to check out the little chocolate shop opposite the train station, they hand make their own chocolates!

    Bathroom sink was a little small and a bit awkward to place toiletries etc.

    Lovely, quaint hotel. Dinner menu was great and there was a separate bar area too. Rooms were comfortable and stylish.

    We’ve been visiting the Hafod for many years, but this was our first overnight stay, and it didn’t disappoint. The renovation is classy- our room was beautifully decorated and kitted out - lovely toiletries, comfortable bed etc. Loved the lighting and attention to detail. Food was outstanding as always, staff friendly and helpful. Well done all at the Hafod, you seem to be getting better and better 😍

    No hand wash or toiletries in the bathroom and no shower mat available on site although we were given a spare towel to stand on in the shower. Although we had shampoo etc we ended up going to a shop to buy hand wash for the sink. It would have been helpful to know so we could have been better prepared. This was initially annoying but once sorted it was quickly forgotten as everything else about our stay was great.

    Room was beautiful. View magnificent, food lovely, location fantastic and staff were so warm, friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay so much and were sad to leave.

    The hotel was on a beautiful spot. The hotel itself was also beautiful. Our room was superb. Nicely decorated, modern. The bed was very comfortable. The staff was really friendly, helpful. We really enjoyed that the staff had time to talk to us about whi we were and about our holiday, made as feel welcomed. The meals were exceptional, plenry of choices and very delicious. The Devil 's Bridge, that we wanted to visit was right at the hotel. Beautiful. Beast location, service and over all best quality. We would highly recommend.
