How is this a 4-star resort?! The golf course is lovely but the hotel is in very poor shape. Carpets are stained, walls - scratched up and pockmarked with holes, furniture appears to be from 1980. The rooms are so rundown and shabby; you are not given a luggage rack or washcloths or a minifridge or any comfort. The food in the restaurant is good but the place has all the charm of an airport waiting area. We were extremely disappointed in the condition of the hotel and the available amenities. I have stayed at Motel 8s with more character…

Fab.

This is a great place to stay. Lovely spacious rooms, great wifi, wonderful bathrooms and great views. But .... I'm sorry to be slightly negative but the curtains could do with being able to close properly for privacy. That is literally my only gripe. I can't speak about breakfast as I always leave too early. But I do like this hotel, my next-door neighbour (Clive Griffiths) put me onto this as he played rugby for Wales and always rated this hotel. I look forward to returning.

Hotel is set on a 650 acre plot with beautiful scenery hensol lake amd hensol castle and golf course. The hotel is clean and staff were friendly and accommodating. I had to move from my initial room as it was not up to a standard youd expect from a hotel of this calibre. The rooms are abot dated and could definitely do with a refresh and upgrade
