Lake Vyrnwy Hotel & Spa  

Fantastic location. The views from my bedroom and the restaurant were superb.

The tavern next door was a poor substitute for dining in the evening.

The view and the restaurant area magnificent. Although noisy the Bistro was popular and the food excellent.

Only one onthe far end of the building.

Location overlooking the lake was excellent. Gardens well maintained. Good food. Decor pleasant. Staff friendly and helpfull.

The armchairs in the room were extremely uncomfortable. Not able to sit and relax after tiring day sightseeing. Lighting in bathroom poor - unable to see to use make-up and hair styling. The decor in the Tavern Bar restaurant was disappointing. Large room plainly decorated not in keeping with the period of the building. It felt unwelcoming. However, the food was good.

The very good view.

The hotel is in a bad state of disrepair. It is a shame to pay so much and get a hotel that should have had critical maintenance years ago. Staff that are unprofessional and can hardly speak English is another huge distraction.

views were spectacular from room. Food was good in main dining area.

high priced rooms not up to standard. Cheap fittings, tiles falling off walls.

Amazing views across lake from bedroom. Very relaxed atmosphere.

Very little use of welsh language. We could have been anywhere, not in the heart of mid wales!!! Some staff spoke welsh which is important. No signs in welsh.

The whole holiday was delightful in every way. The staff were splendid and there was always a smile.

Beautiful setting, very friendly helpful staff, plenty of good walking, very good facilities, good choice of food, even able to take the dog next time thanks to kennels provided!

very friendly staff, good food and wine, comfort

We thought the setting was fantastic, but a bit disappointed the grounds were not more extensive. However the resteraunt was excellent and staff attentive. Our room - 42 was also very good apart from the dripping bath mixer and no drinks fridge. We were a bit surprised and miffed there were no movie options on the hotel tv. As a Spa having no swimming pool is a bit of a gap and no rowing machine in the gym - well ? The spa treatments were very good - highly recommend. But generally very good! 9/10

See minor gripes above - also insufficient heating - solved by supplimentary heater !

Absolutely stunning location, far from the madding crowd with wonderful views. The food we had for our dinner and breakfast in the main restaurant were very good and the staff were helpful. The wine list was especially notable. The decor and furniture were comfortable but not overstated. Everything seemed to run seamlessly. We'd like to have stayed much longer.

Our meal at the tower tavern for lunch was extremely average pub food in rather sterile surroundings, but the views remained excellent there as wwell, which went some way to compensating. The coffee there wasn't great, and the table hadn't been wiped despite there being only one other couple in there, although the staff we friendly and happy to do it for us once it was pointed out.

I loved the location and the old worldly charm. There were lovely walks by the lake and charming rooms to relax in when you returned. The staff were friendly. The best part of the stay was the meal in the restaurant which was excellent.

I'm afraid the drive to and from the hotel was difficult even with a sat nav and road atlas. This wasn't helped by the fact that there was a road closure and that may have added to our difficulty. We were certainly left frustrated as the road signs didn't help either. We stayed in room 26 which was quite noisy due to the kitchen ventilation although this was turned off when we notified reception.

All of our stay was above average many thanks
