Ali, United Kingdom

Super comfortable bed,great view and access to anywhere

Brian, United Kingdom

Great location, excellent staff. check in was slow as the room wasn't ready for ages. After traveling 4 hours it was a welcome break. It's a bit dated but comfortable. The view from our room was over the lake out the back and the sun was amazing.

Tired, United Kingdom

All reception and cleaning staff were polite, friendly and helpful. We didn't need to eat in the restaurant as we were visiting family, it was really good to have a fridge in the room. When we were leaving I left my mobile in the room, the cleaner came running after me with it. Surroundings well kept. We have stayed a few times.

Terry, United Kingdom

Beverage making facility and bottled water was complementary

John, Ireland

The view from the rooms are fabulous: if facing the pond. Discovering that a pool, jacuzzi, steam room and sauna are there to use was the highlight of the hotel stay. We stayed for a meal in the hotel and the lamb dish that was served was absolutely spot on! Everything the hotel had to offer was amazing.

James, United Kingdom

눉One of the sockets in the bedroom was hanging off the wall, I noticed it and reported it on the day I left. Had breakfast at McDonalds and Tesco both just across the road due to the price at the hotel.
눇The staff were very helpful and the domestic staff did a brilliant job keeping the place absolutely spotless.

눉The location of the hotel (distance to Cardiff of more than 7 km and no public transport available) forces us to take our car to go to the center of Cardiff.
눇The room and the accomodation at the hotel was very good. The personel was very friendly.

눉The breakfast was mediocre. Not much of choice with bread and milk. - we had to ask specifically for skimmed milk, even though we had requested it when we made our booking.
눇The receptionist was flexible to meet our needs on arrival, which we really appreciated. Thank you.

눉Service was shocking, check in was basic no upsell for F&B or information about products or other services the hotel had to offer, I went back to reception to ask about restaurant opening times just to be told "6:30 very blunt" no offer of lunch or bar menu. Bar was not manned I waited for a while before giving up and going back to the room.
눇The hotel is beautiful and the room was very spacious with great view over the lake.

“Convenient quiet location but don't rely on the wi-fi”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveller
- • Standard Twin Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉Wi-Fi was weak in the room (which is acceptable) and not working at all in the bar or reception common areas (which is not acceptable). I had to go to Macdonalds over the road to get a reliable service. I took this up with the young man on the front desk who apparently had "three bars". This proves nothing other than a connection can be made to the router.
눇Quiet location despite being used for a wedding on the day/night of my stay. Good road connection into the city. Friendly staff at check-in.

“Disappointed . Not value for the money we paid”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Club Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted via mobile
눉Unfortunately the lake and gardens are neglected badly.... we walked around the lake-the fence was falling down , bottles and litter floating about and the water was practically stagnant. The shrubs were all overgrown into the paths and the grass had not been cut for quite some time. Weeds were growing in the guttering of the main hotel ( in several places). The fittings in the bathroom were rusty and there was no air conditioning. We were in Cardiff for the first time to attend a concert at the Principality Stadium , and the price we paid for a double room was highly inflated due to demand.(£330 for one night)
눇Lovely comfortable mattress and pillows. Slept very well. The lake and outdoor decking area are a feature to this hotel and need to be maintained to a much better standard.Close to amenities.

눉It is a a bit out of town and surrounded by busy roads.
눇It is a beautiful hotel. I wish we could have stayed for longer because we didn't have a chance to use the pool or the restaurant. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was spacious, well decorated and finished. It's a fairly short drive to central Cardiff. We will return for a longer stay at some point.
