We stayed for 2 nights in the main house. Everything ran perfectly, checking staff very welcoming , Gareth (I think) took our bags up and showed us around. He also ran the bar, and pretty much everything ! Our room was nice and spacious, everything you needed was there. Good to have little bottle of proper milk, not nasty UHT tubs for the tea/coffees. We did think the room was too hot, even after turning off the radiator and opening the double glazing, thankfully there was A/C which we did need. The shower over the (old) bath was quite tricky, have to get right in then attempt to get the temperature right . Breakfast was excellent, self service cereals and fruit, then individually cooked gorgeous big Welsh breakfast, or whatever you wanted . Lovely loose leaf tea, good coffee. The lounges around the house are all lovely to sit and chill in, with good open fires blazing . We ate both evenings in the restaurant, a bit disappointing that the menu was the same both nights, but the food was lovely. All the staff are excellent, big smiles and greetings when you walk in, top service throughout . The gardens, maintained by the National Trust are just beautiful, even in February. We happily wandered around both days. We also enjoyed a longer 6mile walk from the hotel , taking in the obelisk and beyond. We’d read about the 12th century tower, and after asking about it, were allowed up with a member of the maintenance team. Stunning views from the top even on a murky day. Very step stone steps. Fantastic stay in a stately home, with the best staff.
