    cozy room
    hearty breakfast
    comfortable stay
    challenging layout
    bathroom noise
    high window

    I had a comfortable stay with a cozy room and enjoyed a hearty breakfast. I found the room layout challenging due to a high window and had a minor issue with noise from the bathroom systems. Great for short stays, especially for enjoying the nearby gardens.

    Had a lovely stay! The breakfast was fantastic with gluten-free options, and the contemporary dining area let me enjoy great views. Just wish the room was bigger. it was snug for two. Would definitely return!

    friendly owner
    delicious meals

    A simple breakdown of my experience

    Impressive stay! The owner welcomed me heartily and accommodated my motorcycle perfectly. The room was spacious and bright, and the meals were exceptional. Breakfast fueled my day wonderfully. I enjoyed the cozy bar atmosphere and friendly locals. The setting is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, being right on the Cambrian Way.

    My stay at The George Borrow Hotel was delightful! The room was spotless with wonderful views of the ravine and waterfall. The hearty home-cooked meals, especially the breakfast, were fantastic, and the bar had a cozy log fire to relax by.

    mountain view
    cold room

    Awesome stay in Ponterwyd 🌄

    The vibe here is so warm, ya! The staff are like family, and the food is straight-up delicious—try the garlic mushrooms! Then there's the mountain view from our room—a real koppie view, lekker to chill and breathe it all in.

    Just a bit chilly in the room, only one radiator working, but not a biggie.

    5.0

    The location is stunning, providing beautiful views and ample parking space, especially for cruiser bikes. The bar atmosphere is great, mixing both locals and guests, making it a cozy place to unwind after a long day.

    The reception area feels dated and cluttered, resembling a time capsule stuck in the 1970s. The double room I got had a high window that restricted movement around the bed and offered no real view. noise from the plumbing was quite disruptive—especially in the morning when it sounded like a heavy machinery operation. Breakfast options were limited and not particularly fresh, with incomplete items left over from the previous day that made for an unpleasant sight. Lastly, it was annoying to have to schedule breakfast times when the idea is to relax and take your time.

    pleasant stay with a lovely atmosphere

    The mountain views from the bar were breathtaking, providing a serene backdrop while enjoying my evening drinks. The bar environment was cozy with a log fire, making it perfect for relaxing after a long day. the meals were generous, particularly at breakfast, which was hearty and well-cooked.

    The reception area felt a bit dated and cluttered, impacting first impressions.
