"Enjoyed our overnight stay in the Celtic Manor and had time to recharge our batteries. The male member of staff at Reception was exceptional! (Sorry we didn't make a note of his name.) He was particularly welcoming, helpful and informative about all amenities available and booked all the little extras for us. The staff at 'The Grill' were also great, where we enjoyed a tasty meal in a relaxing atmosphere. Additionally, the breakfast offered plenty of variety the following morning. We opted to pay extra for a room with a balcony, however, although it was clean, comfortable and looked nice enough, on close inspection it needed a make-over and a lot of TLC. The balcony was shoddy and the door leading out to it didn't close properly so it was draughty. However, the worst experience for us during this visit was the pool and spa. Despite booking our 'slot', it was full to the brim. There were adults and children diving in to the pool even though there were lifeguards on duty and signs to discourage this. The steam room and jacuzzi / hot tubs were also jammed packed, and so were impossible to sample and enjoy. This aspect was disappointing and unacceptable."

"Staff was friendly and accommodating! We extended our stay twice with no hassles. Parking was safe and secure."

"Good hotel, we stayed in a garden suite, and the bedroom was spacious, 2 comfortable chairs and a fab bathroom with separate shower, bath and 2 sinks. Liked the coffee maker as well as kettle and it had a fridge. Negatives: the pillows were really soft and they didn't have any other options. The main issue for me was breakfast: I had added to my booking that I was gluten and yeast free. However, the first morning it was not clear what of the hot food was gluten-free, and the chef came and talked to me to clarify. The bar menu has allergen information so why not the breakfast menu. Day 2, I really didn't fancy a cooked breakfast - so apart from fruit and yoghurt there was nothing I could eat. No gluten free cereal, crackers. The manager came over and said he'd never been asked before!!! Day 3, they had got gluten free porridge or granola. In this day and age I can't understand why there isn't more choice. "

"A very comfortable stay with a good breakfast and friendly staff. Would come again!"

"First day breakfast was sparse and no one to top up or tent Second day there was one person running around alone and by the time the food was topped up most guests had left The rooms were sub par , damp in the bathroom Lack of plugs and lighting in the rooms Gym is well equipped , the swimming pool is outdated Beautiful location and stuff over all very friendly "

"The cottage is in an idyllic location, great local cafe and canal boat hire on hand. We had a fabulous restful week!"

"Great location. Lovely property. Pillows were awful and couldn’t get WiFi unless we paid for it (after 2 hrs) The information about the property was great. We would have expected a couple of washing machine tablets though But this did not spoil our stay."

"Nice room with a view with everything you need. Restaurant food nice with great friendly service throughout the hotel. Handy location."

"Excellent staff. Good restaurant next door. Good price. "
