George Borrow Hotel

Beautiful location, friendly hosts, good food and comfortable beds. Recommended.

I recently stayed at this property in room 7, and I wanted to share some feedback regarding my experience. Firstly, I’d like to commend the hotel’s excellent location and the warmth of the staff, who made us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. However, I must express my concern about the state of the accommodations, as they are in dire need of refurbishment. Unfortunately, the room was cold and damp, with visible signs of mould that appeared to be painted over. The towels felt damp to the touch, and we found an old blood stain on the valance, dirt under the taps, and peeling flooring in the bathroom. Additionally, the wallpaper in the bedroom was bubbling, and there was a crack in the door concealed by a fire alarm sign. The furniture looked poorly assembled, the bed was quite hard, and the small, high window provided little view and was largely obscured by condensation. While we understand that the building is old and appreciate some creaking floorboards, the overall lack of maintenance was disheartening. I experienced mild allergic reactions, including a chesty cough, which contributed to a restless night. I intended to discuss these issues at checkout, but unfortunately, due to the very early time we chose to vacate, the reception was unattended. While we chose not to voice our concerns during our stay, we felt that without significant updates to the rooms, we could not recommend the hotel to others.

The hosts could not do enough for you. Ideal for a night passing through - good traditional no fuss evening menu. Breakfast was full traditional & plentiful - a great start to the day.

From securing my motorcycle to a bacon roll to go as I wasn’t feeling hungry made to feel like it was a home away from home.

Friendly family run hotel. Really enjoyable stay.

Brilliant little family run hotel. It’s clear the owners put their heart and soul in to running the place. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Very nice B&B with restaurant and bar on site

Booked as a one night stop whilst touring on a motorbike, great on site parking and also had the offer of parking the bike in a garage. It’s perfectly safe. The evening food was freshly cooked and a great choice. The breakfast sets you up for the day and again all freshly cooked.

Out of the way, quiet, picturesque hotel. Great for relaxing.

Staff was really friendly. Food was enjoyable. It is an older hotel and needs some updating but it was clean. We stayed on the 3rd floor and there is a lot of stairs to get there so for an older person it might be hard but it was ok for us. It was quiet and the views were very pretty.

Nice, clean and quiet hotel! Only around 10 miles from Welsh coastline Excellent mountain view from beer garden and good restaurant on site!

OK still in the 1980

The view from the room and beer garden was outstanding

All staff were very pleasant and helpful, room was looking a little tired and the bed was too soft for my liking. Was lovely and quiet with a beautiful view.

Another comfortable night in the country, close to Aberystwyth but full of country charm. Who could ask for a better waterfall viewable from the beer garden, it could be a tourist attraction in it's own right.

Located in a lovely part of Wales this place has the best staff who are lovely, genuinely welcoming and helpful. The food reminded me of my mum's coming in a very good way indeed with delicious options for every taste with gluten free and veggie options. Good home style cooking. Bedrooms are neat, spotless and comfy. Location is just gorgeous, make sure to take a stroll into the low hills behind and see the waterfall and river. Did I say the people were lovely, cos they are.

A lovely hotel in a peaceful setting. The staff are very friendly and always there to help if needed. Excellent food and comfortable clean bed and rooms. Highly recommended

Karen, one of the owner, could not have been more helpful. We were there for one night to go to my dad’s funeral. I had to ring the hotel twice for advice about something and Karen went out of her way to help. Breakfast was lovely a good selection and set us up for the day. Although the building is old it was spotless. A beautiful waterfall at the bottom of the garden. Lots of bird life flying around. Perfect. Thank you Karen and family

We were visiting the Uni in Aberystwyth the following morning and with a 4 hour journey needed an affordable, easy to find stop off. The staff were so friendly. Room was perfect for our quick overnight stay. Very quiet area with great views. Lovely traditional bar to have a relaxing drink and snack in. Didn’t eat at hotel but the dining space looked clean and inviting. Will definitely use this hotel again as my son will be attending the uni from Sep I will be making that journey often and there lots of attractions to visit in the area.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, it was quiet and comfortable which was what we needed for our few days away. Service was excellent and the portions of food defeated us every time.if you need a quiet escape to the country we would recommend the George Barrow.
