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.

I wasn't anticipating how big the hotel was! It was a lovely stay facilities were nice, staff were absolutely lovely and a massive free parking. Evening food was delicious. One thing that could be improved was breakfast.

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

Fantastic last minute night away

Room was a little more dated than others we've stayed in at this hotel but still totally spotless and even though it was a standard double the bed was enormous. Staff were pleasant as always and the food superb fabulous stay.

Reasonable breakfast with usual selection of cooked options. One small comment about the need to ask for coffee/tea …. an individual pot or press would have been appreciated. Restaurant took over an hour to serve pasta dish but management refunded when I decided to abandon waiting. Good sports facilities. Quiet environment. Parking onsite and free WiFi was a plus. Generally a positive stay in a nice convenient location.

Poor

Our room was hour and half late for check in, I had paid extra for chocolates and wine package which wasn’t in the room. Was told to wait in the bar and they would come to find us, they didn’t. And had to find out the room was actually ready at 4pm but nobody told us
