Loved by Glendower Bed & Breakfast guests
"A daily flask of fresh cold milk for coffee, a jug of iced water, biscuits, a choice of teas, coffee and a few lollies."
"The breakfast tea, loose-leaf and in a clever self-straining pot, was without a doubt the best tea I have ever had in a hotel."
"Our family room had plenty of space for the four of us with very comfortable beds (and a massive super king for my wife and I)."

mixed feelings about this place
early alarmparking problem
The fire alarm went off early one morning, a real disturbance to my sleep. parking nearby was also problematic. I ended up circling a few times to find a space. i feel some improvements could be made to address these issues. the overall experience was okay, but these factors definitely detracted from it

the hotel breakfast was fine, lots of food on offer.
the room size was disappointing, smaller then expected. the 'sea view' i paid extra for was mostly a view of the carpark. also, someone started hoovering right outside my door at 8am, wasnt ideal.
