Very disappointing overall. Hotel has nice grounds but is right next to A&E hospital with lots of traffic noise at
Pros:

Main building was nice and well maintained. Staff were very pleasant. Breakfast was very good.

Cons:

Room was scruffy. Bedroom floor needed replacing and creaked really badly. Could not move round the bedroom without loud creaking noises from the floorboards. There was no floor under certain carpet áreas. Shower was not very powerful and water went everywhere. Ceiling beams looked as if they were made of Weetabix painted white. Bed mattress was uncomfortable. Lighting was dazzling and light switches were not in convenient places.

Lovely place but our room was not worth what we paid, it looked like a travel lodge room which we could have got for a l
Pros:

The buildings and gardens were beautiful.

Cons:

The room was dirty, it had not been hoovered as we kept standing on previous occupants hair clips all over the floor and members of staff using the toilet in the room whilst we were out leaving the room smelling vile on our return!

Pros:

The room we stayed in was very comfortable and the pool was very relaxing (although that's probably because it was empty).The hotel is lovely and there's plenty of parking available. The location was good, far enough from traffic and noise but very easy to get to nearby towns (if you have a car, I'm not sure how easy it is using public transport).

Staff were very friendly but very sparse. The inside of the house was also very tired looking. The cottage we stayed in
Pros:

Grounds were lovely with peacocks roaming around

Cons:

We stayed in a cottage. Stunk of damp and hadn’t been cleaned properly for a long time. Needed upgrading, very tired

Pros:

Lovely old building, yet bedroom was clean and modern. Very friendly staff

Faenol Fawr has the potential to be a quality hotel but it requires an upgrade in several areas.
Pros:

The rural location and historical associations make this a compelling place to try for a short stay.
Staff all very pleasant.

Cons:

Parts of it needed a clean eg cobwebs in the breakfast room.
Our room wasn’t made up during our stay.
The breakfast was very basic: no fresh fruit, jars of nuts, dried fruit etc almost empty on both mornings.
