Fast fibre technology \- now available thanks to the Superfast Cymru programme \- is allowing the hotel to promote itself more effectively and provide new services for visitors.

The Conrah was originally the mansion house of the Ffosrhydgaled Estate and is set in extensive grounds in the Ceredigion countryside, some four miles from Aberystwyth.

Hotel owners Geraint and Wendy Hughes decided to upgrade to superfast broadband after realising the strong demand for the technology from guests and the overall impact it could have on the business.

The hotel now benefits from offering fast broadband speeds of 80 Mbps – which can be increased even further if required – as a result of the latest fibre\-to\-the premises (FTTP) broadband rolled out to the area by engineers from Openreach, the local network business which is part of BT Group.

Geraint Hughes said: 


> “Superfast broadband has made a massive difference to the hotel. The demand is there from guests for faster internet speeds and we’re now able to provide exactly what the customer wants.
> 
> “Although they are away from home, visitors are also keen to stay connected, whether it is for business or personal use, and being able to offer superfast broadband can be the difference between a guest booking to stay or going somewhere else.”

Online advertising is just one of the ways, Geraint and his team have been able to improve the business. They are now able to take bookings on the website better than before and make greater use of social media to promote the hotel. It is also vital in their conference facilities offering.

Guests have also been impressed with the superfast connection. They are able to access work as well as stream videos and upload photos from their stay. 

Geraint added: 


> “Superfast broadband has opened a wealth of new opportunities for us.  We now employ a member of staff who is solely responsible for our social media, something which we could never have done previously. 
> 
> “We also sit down with guests, look online and help them plan their stay – where they want to visit, how to get there, which walking routes they’d like to take – it’s a great benefit.”

Minister for Skills and Science, Julie James, said: 


> “I’m delighted to hear how superfast broadband is making a real difference at the Conrah Hotel thanks to the Superfast Cymru programme.


> “It is a great example of how faster speeds can have a positive impact for the business and visitors. Having access to quick, strong and reliable internet connection is increasingly important for guests and the Superfast Cymru roll\-out is helping meet that demand.
> 
> “Areas such as Ceredigion would have no superfast broadband without the intervention of Superfast Cymru and it’s great to see how the team at the Conrah are making the most of the technology.”

Alwen Williams, regional director for BT Cymru Wales, said: 


> “The roll\-out of superfast broadband across Wales is already having a huge impact on how families and businesses interact online. The Conrah Hotel is another example of how this new high\-speed network is making an impact.
> 
> “As more and more homes and businesses gain access to superfast broadband speeds every single day I’d urge people to follow in the footsteps of the Conrah Hotel and make the most of this new technology by upgrading their services.
> 
> “We appreciate that this isn’t currently possible for small parts of Wales but our engineers continue to work hard to roll out fibre broadband across the country as quickly and as widely as possible.”

Oherwydd y dechnoleg ffeibr cyflym sydd ar gael nawr, diolch i’r rhaglen Cyflymu Cymru, mae’r gwesty yn gallu hysbysebu ei hunan yn fwy effeithiol a darparu gwasanaethau newydd i ymwelwyr.

Plasty Ystad Ffosrhydgaled oedd y Conrah yn wreiddiol ac mae’n sefyll mewn tiroedd helaeth yng ngefn gwlad Ceredigion, rhyw bedair milltir o Aberystwyth. 

Penderfynodd perchnogion y gwesty, Geraint a Wendy Hughes, uwchraddio i fand eang cyflym iawn ar ôl sylweddoli bod galw cryf am y dechnoleg gan westeion a rhagweld effaith gadarnhaol ar y busnes.

Bellach, mae’r gwesty yn elwa o gynnig band eang cyflym iawn o 80Mbsp o ganlyniad i fand eang diweddaraf y rhaglen Cysylltiad Ffeibr i'r Adeilad. Caiff y cyflymder ei gynyddu hyd yn oed ymhellach os oes angen. Cyflwynwyd y rhaglen yn yr ardal gan beirianwyr Openreach, sef busnes rhwydwaith lleol sy’n rhan o grŵp BT. 

Dywedodd Geraint Jones: 


> “Mae band eang cyflym iawn wedi gwneud gwahaniaeth enfawr i’r gwesty. Mae’r galw yno gan westeion am gysylltiadau rhyngrwyd cynt a bellach rydym yn gallu bodloni dymuniadau’r cwsmer. 
> 
> “Er eu bod oddi cartref, mae ymwelwyr yn awyddus i gadw mewn cysylltiad, boed ar gyfer busnes, neu am resymau personol. Mae band eang cyflym iawn yn ffactor pwysig iawn wrth iddyn nhw benderfynu aros yma neu fynd i westy arall.”

Mae hysbysebu ar\-lein yn un o’r ffyrdd mae Geraint a'i dîm wedi gwella’r busnes. Nawr, maen nhw’n gallu cymryd archebion ar y wefan yn haws nag o’r blaen a defnyddio’r cyfryngau cymdeithasol yn fwy effeithiol i hysbysebu’r gwesty. Mae’n hanfodol hefyd fel rhan o’u gwasanaeth cynadledda.

Mae’r cysylltiad cyflym iawn wedi creu argraff dda ar westeion. Maen nhw’n gallu gweithio ar\-lein yn ogystal â gwylio fideos a lanlwytho lluniau o’u hymweliad. 

Ychwanegodd Geraint: 


> “Mae band eang cyflym iawn wedi rhoi llawer o gyfleoedd newydd inni.  Rydyn ni nawr yn cyflogi aelod o staff sy’n gyfrifol am ddim ond ein cyfryngau cymdeithasol, rhwybeth allwn ni byth fod wedi’i ei wneud o’r blaen. 
> 
> “Hefyd, rydym yn treulio amser gyda’n gwesteion ac yn eu helpu i  gynllunio eu hymweliad ar\-lein: ble hoffen nhw fynd, sut i gyrraedd, pa lwybrau cerdded i’w dilyn \- mae’n fantais fawr.”

Dywedodd Julie James, y Gweinidog Sgiliau a Gwyddoniaeth: 


> “Rwy’n falch iawn o glywed sut mae band eang cyflym iawn yn gwneud gwahaniaeth go iawn yng ngwesty’r Conrah, diolch i’r rhaglen Cyflymu Cymru.
> 
> “Mae’n enghraifft wych o sut gall cysylltiadau cynt ddylanwadu’n gadarnhaol ar y busnes ac ar yr ymwelwyr. Mae cael cysylltiad rhyngrwyd cyflym, cryf a dibynadwy yn fwyfwy pwysig i westeion ac mae cyflwyno’r rhaglen Cyflymu Cymru yn helpu i ddiwallu’r galw hwnnw.
> 
> “Fyddai yna ddim band eang cyflym iawn mewn ardaloedd fel Ceredigion heb y rhaglen Cyflymu Cymru ac mae’n wych gweld sut mae’r tîm yn y Conrah yn gwneud y gorau o’r dechnoleg.”

Dywedodd Alwen Williams, cyfarwyddwr rhanbarthol BT Cymru Wales: 


> “Mae cyflwyno band eang cyflym iawn ar draws Cymru eisoes yn dylanwadu'n enfawr ar sut mae teuluoedd a busnesau yn rhyngweithio ar\-lein. Mae Gwesty’r Conrah yn enghraifft arall o sut mae’r rhwydwaith cyflym iawn newydd yn gwneud gwahaniaeth.
> 
> “Wrth i fwy a mwy o gartrefi a busnesau gael manteisio ar gysylltiadau band eang cyflym iawn bob dydd, byddwn yn annog pobl i ddilyn esiampl Gwesty’r Conrah a gwneud y mwyaf o’r dechnoleg newydd hon drwy uwchraddio’u gwasanaethau.
> 
> “Rydym yn sylweddoli nad yw hynny’n bosibl ar hyn o bryd mewn rhai rhannau o Gymru ond mae ein peirianwyr yn parhau i weithio’n galed i gyflwyno’r band eang ffeibr ledled y wlad mor gyflym ac mor eang â phosibl.”
