We’ve stayed here before and it’s ok, it’s probably at the lower end of being a four star hotel because whenever we’ve stayed it’s never super clean (we wouldn’t have stayed here again except it was the only available place when we were in town for a concert) - this time there was a false eyelash left on the floor, the bathroom floor looked like it had been maybe swept but not mopped as you could see water marks on the floor, cobwebs on the windows. The worst thing this time was the fire alarm that sounded twice for a few seconds between 3:30 and 4am, we couldn’t get an explanation as to what this was about but we couldn’t get back to sleep so not a great experience. On the plus side - we had room service when we arrived and breakfast the next day and the food was good, staff are friendly. A quick note about taxis, which is not the hotels responsibility but is something to bear in mind: it can be difficult to get an Uber or taxi to/from Cardiff, it must be too far from Cardiff centre for most drivers. Reception won’t book a taxi for you but they do have local cab firm numbers at the desk and let you use the phone to pre-book for yourself. Pre-booked Ubers also work

Review
Staff were fantastic from check in to check out and throughout the stay. Room was clean and had all the amenities needed perhaps some of the furniture could be updated but didn’t effect the stay in any way. Stayed at the hotel for a wedding in llanerch vineyard, After checkout the staff offered us a shuttle to the vineyard to collect our car and save us walking which we massively appreciated. Would definitely recommend staying here and looking forward to staying again in the future!

Very pleasant stay. They gave us a lovely room with patio doors out on to the golf course. A nice big room & large bathroom. I suggest adding a shaving/magnifier mirror. Breakfast was excellent, well worth the money.
