"Lovely stay in this 400 year old building with all its quirky characteristics. Obviously you cannot expect the modern look and feel of ‘normal’ hotels…this has charm and character. Minor issues would be the rather drab colour of our bedroom….no other option than sugar in the bedroom, we would like sweeteners….a little mould on the shower tiles needs attention."

"Friendly and helpful staff. Room was very pleasant and spacious. For me the curly stairs to top floor was an issue because of mobility problem. But i slept well , good choice of breakfast."

"Breakfast good, would have liked s rambled eggs as on low fat diet. Room cold to start with. Needed brighter bedside light. Like to read in bed and keep warm"

"The room was super clean, it appeared to have been recently decorated, the carpets appeared new, the ensuite seemed new, and all was nice. One thing I would say, as the room was facing the garden, there were a couple of spotlights on the front of the abbey/centre, and the window blind didn't fully cover the window, so the light came through that was the only negative thing i could think of"

"Another incredible stay! The staff are always so welcoming and kind, George is just fantastic and so attentive and friendly. The food as usual is delicious, beautiful local produce. The rooms as usual are so clean and super comfy beds. The spa facilities are fantastic. Five stars again from us!! "

"Breakfast should have been included in the already steep price"

"We had a two night stay which was excellent. The breakfast was great, the room was clean and tidy and the restaurant food was delicious. The staff were very friendly and helpful, would definitely recommend it."

"Turned up to find our key out on a table, with our name and details where to find the room Everyone else who was staying also had their keys laid out with names/room details. No-one available to speak to, in-person, at check-in. We were in the family room, at the back/outside of the property. Whole room smelt of grease due to the chip shop adjoining the hotel. To be fair, the hotel itselt smelt greasy. Toilets were filthy with broken seats, one of the shower trays filthy and not clean. The other shower tray had used bottles of body wash still in the shower and a pair of old socks left there, too. No hand soap, no tea/coffee sachets. Beds were hard, but may suit those who do not mind a hard matress. No matress topper used, though or protectors- just sheets- and could feel springs through matress. Phoned the number left on a table at "arrival" and advised of issues in room Offered another room, but explained booked family room to accommodate all persons travelling. Was told manager would be told of issues. Come breakfast time, saw one member of staff who was pleasant enough. The layout for breakfast isn't amazing- but was enough to keep my children quiet. We ended up going to Talgarth Mill for breakfast, in the cafe there- would recommend there, or The Strand Cafe for food. For what we paid, was not expecting it to be posh. As a family, we are fairly laid back and not overly fussy. However, this was at the lower end of what we would normally go for/expect . "
