Castle Hotel

8/10 Good

"Pleasant. Good bed. Helpful staff."

James Place @ Dowlais

10/10 Excellent

"The apartment was absolutely lovely, very modern and spotlessly clean throughout. Everything was well presented and made for a really comfortable stay. We did have a slight issue with the TV remote, so we weren’t really able to watch TV, but this wasn’t a big issue for us and didn’t affect our stay. Overall, a great apartment and we would definitely stay again. Highly recommend!"
