Friendly staff, good food and lovely setting
Water pressure low in en suite and no shower facility
Overall: It was unfortunate that they were in the middle of upgrading works and the staff apologised for them when we arrived. However, it did not affect our stay there.

From our room (no.4)at the back, was a fantastic view - we could hear the waterfall, see the red kites & look out across the garden. We had evening meals there on the first & third nights of our stay - varied menu, well cooked & not expensive. Good breakfasts too. Clean room, en-suite, towels etc (inc. comp toiletries) & sufficient tea/coffee supplies. Couldnt hear much noise from other rooms - walls must be fairly thick - bonus for a light sleeper!
Creaking floorboards in room very annoying (& room 5 next door), Saniflow loos - noisy,(but we only heard ours and vaguely room 5) no shaver point - men, take note - stale cooking smells (?) in hallway, no airflow, probably with both fire doors being closed? Cold shower one morning - no hot water left(?) (at 8.30, so get in early)?! Not brrrilliant! The dead flower arrangements on the dining room tables - and dead pot plants inside & out...get rid & replace - please!
Overall: We thought the hotel decor was "tired", & the en-suite very small & cramped. Do like having bar/restaurant on site if not wanting to drive. Good location - & "must visits" if not a "twitcher" are the Butterfly House closeby and the steam railway -an hour long trip with fantastic views leaves from Devils Bridge or Aberystwyth, both nearby.

I booked three rooms for three nights at the George Borrow as part of a family holiday in August. This is a friendly family-owned hotel set in the beautiful surroundings of the mid-Wales mountains. This is a good location for visits to the nearby hydroelectric power station, the butterfly house, red kites and the silver lead mine. Breakfast and evening meals were of a good standard.
The bedrooms were rather small, particularly the double room.
Overall: There is need for further investment to bring the rooms up to scratch but the lovely staff and excellent food made up for what the rooms currently lack.

Very nice hotel. Very friendly and most helpful. Good location for what we needed. Food and service excellent.
En-suite was minute, but manageable. Other than that no hotel-related problems. Big problem was lack of any mobile signal which meant that we had to drive up the road to use phones.
Overall: We were surveying in the Welsh mountains and the George Borrow Hotel was ideal for what we needed.
