    I have nothing negative to say

    We had breakfast and was very well looked after. We also had a evening meal which was lovely and had no waiting even though it was a busy night in the Inn.

    The Glan Yr Afon Inn was the perfect place to stay whilst working in the area. The rooms are simple but perfect and the pub itself was very welcoming. I will return if working in the area. Thank you.

    The floor was very creaky, and in the shower could do with a little shelf or something As there is nowhere to put your soaps or shampoos

    Excellent value for money Great location Ample parking Comfy bed Great shower

    Breakfast was great. Our hosts were lovely and were happy to provide breakfast earlier than regular to suit our plans. The bar downstairs was lively and we had a great time playing pool with some of the regulars, but we couldn't hear any noise from the bar from our rooms.
