Ty Newydd Country Hotel  

Lovely location and friendly welcoming staff. Excellent value for money

The location and the building

The hotel needs a bit of a make-over it looks a bit shaby in parts

Nice surrounding, friendly and helpful staff and good hearty food.

Rooms were a bit old fashioned and beds not the most comfortable.

Its venue - close to the places we wanted to visit

Wash basin in bathroom was badly cracked. Staff did inform us that refurnishment was at hand

The environment is very good.

The hotel was very well situated for the Brecon National park and well away from the main roads.

Rooms need updating and redecorating we stayed in the peny fan suite which was very dark,delivery lorries were very noisey first thing in the morning at the front of the building which our room overlooked.

This was our third visit but there was little to like this time.Sadly we will not return

We were given a small bedroom suitable for one person occupancy .but initially charged the higher rate ,the one for standard double room.So there were issues from the outset.The hotel was not busy so why they chose to give us a single person room is inexplicable.We asked to move and were given a large family room.The window could not be openned because of smoke from the the hotel boiler chimney immediately beside it.Woodsmoke is fine but not in the bedroom.Once again we had to be moved.We ended up in another family room which was ok.Restaurant was soulless with no effort to arrange the table attractively eg tablecloth,There were questions about the final bill, Altogether a pretty shabby experience for our fourtyfifth wedding anniversary.I Left exhausted.

The staff could not have done more for us. I am totally deaf, lipread and speak fairly well, and had no problems at all. The food was very good indeed except for rock hard toast with pate at the bar, soon rectified with fresh toast.

The mattress on our bed in Room 27 really needed replacement, it was a trifle lumpy and low in the middle so that we constantly rolled downhill together. Ok for 29 years of age but not at 79! The wet bathroom was marvellous but had no shelves, hooks or niches to put toilet bags, spectacles etc. Sadly most hotel rooms are like that! But overall we'd give it 99% pass marking! We attended an 80 th birthday party. Many of us were deaf. Really provision needs to be made for communication when the room door is shut like flashing lights, vibrating buzzers, etc but this applies to all hotels.

Staff very helpful when we had queries about local visits etc

Walls rather thin so noise from adjacent rooms was a problem

We found the room to be very spacious, well decorated, comfortable and spotlessly clean. The waiting staff in the restaurant were extremely pleasant and very well groomed. The chamber staff were also very pleasant. The dinner menu was really well priced and portions were substantial. Breakfast was most satisfying.

Breakfast finished a little early.

good location, easy to find. Very good food and service.

de rustige omgeving, vriendelijk personeel

vaste vloerbekleding in de kamer

Lovely weather when we stayed helped show the hotel at its best - I had a lovely sunny bedroom at the front of the hotel.

My bathroom looked a bit tired and had no window
