"This is my fourth visit to Celtic Manor and it's a real treat every time. We took a girly trip this weekend for my 40th birthday, we had two rooms which were, and always are, immaculate. The styling is comfortable and cosy, the bathrooms are beautiful - probably in need of a little tidy up (a little mouldy silicone here and there), but generally are cleaned to a great standard. The hairdryers they provide are also good ones, not the usual cheap on the wall ones like most hotels - so ladies feel free to leave your dryers at home!
Do remember to book a slot at the pool/spa prior to your visit, weekends are terribly busy and if you don't book this and are only staying for one night it's likely you will miss out.
The gym is equiped to a good standard, it's a lovely space and has everything you need for a good workout - it's always been good but you can see that they have made efforts to really improve it over the last couple of years.
We dined at Rafters this time - it was beautiful and a real treat. The food was amazing and the staff are attentive without being bothersome. I highly recommend the Allan Scott Sauvignon - a really lovely wine.
I must mention the Concierge desk - they were fabulous during our stay, very helpful and can't do enough for you, one gentleman even came out to take a group photo of our group infront of the Christmas tree.
We also had a treatment at the spa - again you must book this in advance to avoid disappointment and it really is worth it!"
