Behind a neo-classical façade, this Georgian coaching inn is a happy mix of local drop-in, hotel and restaurant, with 'comfortable rooms, good food and welcoming staff', says a returning reader. Gregory Peck ate here in 1945 on his way to Fishguard to film Moby Dick. If, like him, you feel peckish, food is served all day in the Foxhunter Bar, with its deep leather sofas and wooden chairs and tables. Here, and in the Oak Room, the menu has something for everyone (steaks, seafood platter, veggie options, fish and chips). Bedrooms have a neutral palette, contemporary furnishings, a Villeroy & Boch or Fired Earth bathroom. Trusted readers were pleased to be upgraded to an 'extremely comfortable, clean, quiet' rear-facing deluxe room with 'a super shower'. 'Flowers were a nice touch', as were 'excellent table lights' for reading. Others recommend deluxe room 29, which was 'almost two rooms', and 'sheltered from traffic noise', with a king-size bed. Breakfasts include bread and pastries from the Angel Bakery next door, while sister venture the Michelin-starred Walnut Tree Inn is a ten-minute taxi ride away. 'A strikingly well-run hotel in an efficient but unobtrusive way.' (Martin Daly, Tom and Sarah Mann, GB).
