Very relaxing place to stay. Beautiful views and helpful staff.
Pros:

Beautiful views mean you relax as soon as you arrive. We paid for a room with a view and it was worth every penny. Staff really helpful. Receptionist Linda very helpful which ensured we made the most of our short visit.

Cons:

Cupboard in bedroom smelt rather musty.

Es war schön, obwohl vieles verbessert werden müsste
Pros:

Wunderschönes Anwesen in toller Lage, gemütliche Bar und Speisesaal,

Cons:

Das Zimmer hatte viel zu wenig Licht, dürftige Beleuchtung. Mit der Nachttischlampe lesen unmöglich.
Bei den vielen Gästen war das Frühstücksbuffet sehr schnell leer, wurde nur langsam aufgefüllt

Pros:

Lovely, picturesque hotel. We were here for a family funeral and the hotel could not to more for us. Were so so kind, our rooms were lovely, and the function rooms and food were great.
The breakfast is great, with buffet continental and hot food made to order.

Cons:

I think the hotel has been part done up, and our room was just a bit older, the other rooms were lovely, so think it’s a timing thing! Still a lovely hotel with great amenities and great grounds

Pros:

The view down across Cardiff from the property is lovely. We could see it from the window in our room. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed.
Breakfast was good. I enjoyed the buffet of fruit, yoghurt, pastries and toast. My partner had a cooked breakfast which was very tasty.

4 day stay
Pros:

The friendly staff
The cooked food
The views

Cons:

The limited breakfast buffet fresh baked offering. I guess it's best to ask if FRESH BAKED is expected.
The noise from adjacent rooms associated with weddings preparation.
