Reviews and Ratings
I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The room was fantastic, with lots of special features and breathtaking views. The service was top-notch - friendly, accommodating, and the bed was super comfortable. The location was spacious and tastefully decorated overlooking St Bride's Bay. Dining was superb with a lovely breakfast buffet and perfectly cooked local produce. Overall, a great value for money experience.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely perfect. The rooms were immaculate and even had a complimentary bottle of wine waiting for our special occasion. The service was fantastic, and we felt right at home with the hospitable staff. The location offered a stunning view across the sea, but the space wasn't very useful. The dining experience was memorable with top-quality meals, although the beef dishes stood out. Overall, a brilliant stay with just a few minor drawbacks.
I had the chance to stay in the Lucy Walter room at the top of the castle, where I paid almost £200 for the night. While I expected a good night's sleep considering the price, the room was a bit small, making it hard to find space for suitcases.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely incredible. The sun room made my experience during the heat wave in Wales even more perfect. The room was immaculate, equipped with everything I needed including satellite TV, wi-fi, Nespresso machine, and a comprehensive guide about the castle. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, ensuring I had a great time while being unobtrusive. The location was excellent, offering stunning views and easy access to the beach at Newgale. Dining was superb with a lovely breakfast buffet of fresh, local produce. 11/10 in Summary just Exemplary Thank you.
