Pen-y-Waun Hotels near Aberdare

"Had a lovely stay at the vale resort on 28 march. Made use of the spa and had a 2 hour walk around the grounds,lake and castle after a lovely breakfast . Well recommended for a break away"

"Very comfortable overnight stay. Very helpful staff, nice warm room of a decent size."

"Our rooms had a lovely ( unexpected) sea view but as I found out on arrival, most if not all rooms, (other than accessibility/disability rooms) have a shower over the bath, so it wasn’t ideal for my 84yr old mother who doesn’t require an accessible room as she doesn’t have any disabilities or restrictions per se but can’t climb into the bath to take a shower. It is very unusual for a hotel these days to have baths in every room but the hotel was fully booked for a conference so unfortunately there was no option to change rooms to an accessible room for her. The restaurant was closed for a function the night we arrived, This was a Monday night in a small seaside town at the beginning of March so I wasn’t hopeful - but we found 3 great places to eat within a few mins walk. A really lovely seaside cafe/restaurant, an Indian and an American/Mexican type restaurant. The hotel was clean, staff were lovely and it was ideal for our stay. Don’t be put off by the 1970’s exterior. We didn’t go further than the seafront so not sure about a ‘town’ but there are retail parks nearby. "

"Staff were amazing, everyone I spoke with was really helpful and pleasant. If your looking for good honest accommodation and normal food that doesn’t cost a fortune this is the place for you. "

"Overall good, couple of niggles. It's located by a motorway and it is noisy as the windows dont shut properly. The breakfast was great apart from the bacon, which they cook folded in half so one side is crispy and one side is soft."

"Hotel is lovely and peaceful, load a lil touch to get in if have a low car be warned "

"Enjoy their hotel "

"The hotel is in an amazing location with beautiful views , the staff are friendly, very helpful and efficient. We stayed in a Junior Suite and it was a very large and beautiful room and quiet- especially for a hotel. There are two things that let the hotel down , no food after a certain time in the evening seems strange to me , most places serve until 10pm at least and there is a mention of 24 hour room service but there was no menu in our room (That we could find anyway) and when we asked about food we were told the only option was to have some crisps at the bar. Breakfast is fantastic if you like a cooked breakfast , lots of choice here but if you don't then the options are limited and not replenished throughout the morning , I think this should be more plentiful with more options for the price you pay for a room."

"Poorly decorated and maintained room. Smelt musty. Dirty. Would not stay again but got stuck travelling later than planned so had to stay. "
