Overall the stay was pleasant....the staff were friendly and welcoming, the food was very good, my partner was really impressed with his steak and stilton & mushroom sauce and the drinks were reasonably priced. The only slight negative for me was the accommodation, the pillows were just awful, literally felt like cut up cubes of foam (sorry don't like to be negative) I even folded up a bath towel and put this inside the pillow case as it was so bad, that didn't help much either. There was also mould in the room around the windows. It was a very basic room but had all the tea/coffee making facilities, shower gels in the bathroom and a T.V....ok if you are looking for a cheap n cheerful stay. Just to warn, the pub actually gets really busy so if you are planning to stay and eat, then I would definitely reserve a table beforehand if you can.
Lovely place to stay, the room was clean with everything we needed. It was great that the children had a separate bedroom. Breakfast good value for money.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Room felt homely, was warm enough and the bed was comfortable. I was happy with the cleanliness.
The staff in the pub appeared helpful and welcoming, if i needed anything, i felt they would be happy to help. I felt safe there as a solo traveller. I had a bath. There was a hairdryer, but i didn't need it.
The room did have some mould, but it wasn't obvious at first glance. The bathroom initially smelled of dampness, but after a while, I didn't notice. I had to move the nightstands, though, to access the power sockets. Despite these issues, I was overall happy with my stay and slept well.
Before coming, I went for a nature walk in Lumsdale Valley circular walk and only had to drive a few minutes from there to get to the Duke of Wellington.
I ate in the pub. I enjoyed my food; it was a small portion for a lot of money, but it tasted nice.
