Unsupported set of steps onto garden. A simple timber bannister rail would be a great asset.

Food and building.

I think on this occasion I would have preferred the cottages across the courtyard, I didn't really get on with the low archways through to the bathroom (in room 5), or the cupboard over the sink (both where I somewhat bashed my head), although that goes with the territory for old buildings, so it would be unfair to mark it down for that.

This is one of my favourite hotels in the area, with an easy bus route right outside into Porthcawl (and a corner shop over the road if needed). I've normally stayed in the cottages rather than the main house (the apartment at the far end is great). The bar staff are effective and in the warm weather is it nice to site outside. I was not up for a large breakfast in the morning unfortunately, so just had a sausage sandwich rather than the proper breakfasts, which was unfortunate, I'm quite sure it would have been an excellent breakfast (and a good range of options).

One of the dressing gowns had something In the pocket so obviously hadn’t been cleaned. There was lots of dust and marks especially by the wardrobe. Difficult to see as room as so dark .

Nice location. Breakfast was lovely.

Water wasn’t very warm for the lovely bath tub and door lock/handle needs addressing, very difficult to open. Could do with new pillows, lost their plumpness.

Very clean, comfortable, nice bath and great shower and decent but simple breakfast. Friendly.

That I could hear the person in the room next door wee in the night! Walls are pretty thin

Food was amazing! Stayed just the one night and had dinner and breakfast and it was seriously yummy

A stunning hotel with lovely rooms and fantastic restaurant. The shower was a little weak but nothing to complain about.

Unfortunately beds uncomfortable for all of us booked in separate rooms, so all of us slept poorly. This would prevent me booking again.

Great staff, very clean and quiet room, good breakfast.

The bed was very soft, nice topper on the bed but need a new mattress underneath this.

Food was excellent - local fresh and perfectly cooked

Clean and comfortable, night porter kept the bar open so we could just quickly order a drink when we got back from Bruce Springsteen event in Cardiff which was brilliant of him, breakfast good and even catered for 2 gluten free guests, room comfortable and quiet. Thank you.

Room was good size.

Every at this hotel whilst good, could be better. The food is very good and I would recommend it, however the wine list is terrible. Really poor quality wines, clearly sourced from one company that’s being low grade wines. They seriously need to address this as it’s bringing down everything else. Beers were not much better!

Noisy, was a function adjacent to room and it was very noisy

Lovely period place with a decent restaurant attached and further good eateries nearby

No remote for the TV and the tv buttons didn't work that well either. Time for a new one I feel. Toilet paper roll holder behind the toilet so makes it hard to use unless your a contortionist. Shower head holder useless as the head drops and the water sprays on the back wall so had to jam the bath plug behind it. Small issues but just distract from what is a very nice place to stay.

Great location and price. Staff were very helpful. Rooms were clean and tidy. Excellent breakfast. Good off street parking.

The only option for evening meal was an expensive "tasting plate", no other choice available, not what one hoped for after a long journey. Upstairs our room was a disapointment. A beautiful old building with an ultra modern room. Cold hard composite flooring, maybe easy to keep clean but cold and harsh with no rugs. All the furniture was mirrored glass, dressing table, bedside tables, wardrobe, even picture frame and tissue box! Sadly the TV wouldn't swivel on its stand to face the bed - where else to sit and watch it - so picture was slightly blurred. Also there was only one bedside reading light, not helpful in a double room. The bathroom was clean and modern but the wash basin was so high even my 6ft husband found it awkward. And the kettle wouldn't fit under the tap to be filled! I feel maybe it just wasn't in keeping with the beautiful old building and perhaps the management should try spending a night there as if they were a guest.

The ground floor was cosy and breakfast was very good, served by friendly staff. The bedroom was warm and clean.

Only tasting menu on a Friday evening.

Friendly staff, good location. Nice modern bathroom. Characterful building. Cosy public areas. Adequate parking. Near other restaurants/pubs. Quiet village location.

I got backache for the bed but that's probably me not the bed

The location was good for us as we were working 3 miles away. The food was fantastic. It exceeded our expectations. every course was superb, great presentation, great quality products, decent portion sizes. it was real treat for us. even the scrambled eggs in the morning we bang on. Thanks to the chef and the staff for making us so welcome. Will definitely staff again if in the area.

Bed was very uncomfortable and creaky. Bruised legs from wooden foot of bed and spring mattress ruined both our backs. Took over an hour to fill the tub for a bath. The bedroom heater made constant noise. Pillows were so flat they were basically non existent.

Staff were fantastic. Very friendly and helpful. Food was amazing. Very nice dining area.
