The Manor Hotel

As one of a group of 11 ladies who went for afternoon tea at The Manor Hotel I wanted to say what a lovely time we had. The food was excellent, some having high tea and some just the regular tea. There was so much we couldn't manage it all and were given boxes to take home. All diets catered for (excellent vegan option). Beautiful view and comfortable quiet surroundings. A very enjoyable afternoon!

I'm so sorry to have to write this . But I feel you must be told . The photos you advertise are not true to date They where many years ago but certain now. We have been loyal customer for years & years and loved all the functions etc . But the last few visits have been really poor . What has happened ?? It is totally run down and gone to look cheap and tacky ,very poor . no table clothes sticky tables ,cheap plastic table mats, No heating freezing cold . Food was very average /poor atmosphere just grime & no staff on hardly . Not to mention the pool /sauna just shut it down. Never felt so depressed it's nothing relaxing about it. No heating freezing cold green water . Nothing works . No hot water . No lights Filthy changing facilities. You can't advertise these photos and produce this rubbish it's false advertisement . Absolutely saddens me to say after all theses years I think it's time we parted . Unless the owners invest a lot of good taste & class back in to a once beautiful venue then I'm afraid I can't see this venue being open much longer .

Faultless. In reading some other quite mean-spirited reviews I’m not sure what people were expecting. The hotel is lovely. Friendly, welcoming staff who do their best. Clean room, good gym equipment, tasty food which was served within a reasonable timescale. Good choices for non-meat eaters. Good night’s sleep. Pleasant breakfast with a nice range of items. No it’s not the Ritz but we didn’t want the Ritz, we wanted the experience we got. Full marks! Are there things which the hotel could do to spruce things up a bit? Probably. Can I think and list them here? No! I’m constantly amazed by people who pick faults and don’t even talk to the staff about them, waiting instead to get home and open their bottle of vitriol.

Had a Sunday roast at the Manor Hotel – not bad for the price! The food was tasty enough, though maybe could've been a touch hotter. Service was a bit slow, but nothing too major. All in all, a nice, affordable lunch and I'd probably go back if I wanted something easy and budget-friendly.

Christmas meal out at one of The Manor’s party evenings. Ended up with clostridium perfringens (bacterial food poisoning - confirmed diagnosis) Along with many of my colleagues and others who were there on 14th December. Public Health Wales and Environmental Health are investigating.

Warm welcome from receptionist and efficient check-in. Period features were cool. Place seemed clean. Didn't notice any cobwebs or dust. Got Room 4. Looks like room has been updated throughout. Adjacent rooms with low numbers all had same style of updated door, so assume may all have been updated. Great view across valley when not foggy. Large hot radiator with thermostat and windows that open. No air con. Had dinner on first night. Mine was very delicious and service was great. Starter was supposed to be Chicken Liver Pate. What I believe I got was a Ham Hock Terrine. I was OK with that but others may not have been. Second course had the Steak Frites. Asked for medium and it came perfect for me. My other half is veggie. Not much choice for her and in fact the Rich Raghu in her Legumes dish was too rich for her taste and she couldn't finish it. Breakfast has cereals, juice etc. and coffee you can help yourself to. On our second morning also teapots, tea and hot water. If you would like freshly cooked items from the menu then I recommend you allow about an hour for breakfast as they took at least 30 minutes after ordering to arrive. Very nice though with runny yoke poached and fried eggs, and I prefer the wait to having the stuff left under hot lamps for ages on a buffet. Other half used pool and spa which was included in price for us as guests. She said the facilities such as changing rooms looked a little old and tired but all clean.
