Initially ignored by the receptionist, despite standing there waiting to be greeted and booked in. Booked a double room and was given a twin room. Had dinner in the restaurant, which was busy and had to wait over an hour for our mains. The food was very good, though. Overall, we would not come here again.

All the staff were very friendly and everywhere was clean and tidy. If you were later than 09.00 am for breakfast, the choice was not so good than if you had turned up earlier, that was our feeling. The Saturday evening meal was not totally satisfactory because there was not enough staff and we booked a table at 20.30 but did not eat until 21.45. The server did his best but was over powered with the demands of trying to keep up with the orders. Maybe the kitchen staff were understaffed as well. On Sunday morning breakfast we heard staff saying we have no more cutlery left . If Saturday night is the busiest dining night, then adequate staff should be available. We were very tolerant and could have made a big fuss and refused to pay for the service we received, however we felt sorry for the person involved who was trying to cope under difficult circumstances

Good for golf and functions but not for couples

Staff at this hotel were really helpful, we asked to move room because of noise and they did this immediately. The hotel seems to cater for golfers and functions so it was busy and noisy, one bar area not open and no room in restaurant for dinner. Also our first room right over a function room and unbearably noisy and we were moved to an accessible room which needed some work

The experience was spoilt by a lack of hot water in the bathroom. It had been raining heavily and we were soaked through, only to find that we couldn't have a hot shower before dinner. I've stayed in many hotels and this was the first time this has happened. It meant going down to dinner feeling grubby, which took the shine off the experience.

Stunning hotel with amazing pool and jacuzzi area and fabulous outdoor space for sunbathing.Shuttle service to nearby Hensol castle for gin distillery tour/afternoon tea. If you prebook dinner option, you will get 3course menu, otherwise it’s only ala carte on the day. Breakfast is excellent and weather permitting you can sit outside on the terrace with the view of the golf course.The only downside is, that it is in the middle of nowhere and you can eat only in the 1 restaurant as there’s nothing else nearby.
