The hotel rooms were well equipped and comfortable, very clean, and nicely decorated with good lighting. However, the room was too hot, there was no fan, and the heavy duvet was uncomfortable. The receptionist did not address my complaint effectively.

The location is beautiful with lots of shops and things to do, truly in the heart of Cowbridge. However, the dining experience was a little disappointing compared to dinner.
