The guesthouse is in the centre of the town (although you'd never know it as it is so quiet in the guestrooms) so all the... More

If you are looking for a plastic, sterile place to stay then this is not the place for you. However if you like staying in older buildings with a bit of character then read on. The building is at least 150 years old which means the walls are very thick and soundproof. It was only at a pretty decent breakfast... More

Great location, great breakfast except no orange juice, nice lady runs it. V good shower in the morning except no shampoos in the room. Lots of TV channels but TV remote not working. Lacks attention to detail but it's still not bad and good value. I would stay there again. Nearly v good. More

Very very cold rooms, over priced and made unwelcome by owner when asked to turn the heating on, it was a lottery for hot water in the shower, the customer is always wrong in the first hurdle. More

We were pointed to the First Hurdle by a local after arriving in town with no reservations and our first options booked up. The price was lower than any other place we had stayed during our week in Wales, and the value was good. Location was great-- just off the main thoroughfares. Overall cleanliness, functionality and service were also great.... More

Disappointed by general run of place. Rooms clean but basic and poor reception from host. Felt unwelcome and tour leader's room given away without consultation! More
