Reflective Stay at Wonderful Place
attentive service helpful staff tasty food wonderful meals
I enjoyed the attentive service provided. The staff were very helpful and present. The Great Western Restaurant was not available one night, so I booked it on arrival this time. I had a great time at Valentines dinner, it was one of the best meals I had.
The locker rooms looked tired. The lockers are a little difficult to operate.

Really good Stay
warm welcome comfy bed amazing bathroom fantastic pool
The welcome at reception was warm, and all arrangements were reviewed to suit our break. I felt that nothing was too much trouble. Our Valley Castle room was lovely, the temperature was great, the bed comfy, and the linens were very nice! I particularly enjoyed the coffee machine. The bathroom was amazing with large, soft towels and robes and a walk-in shower. We used the pool and it was a fantastic size for doing lengths.
The brasserie menu seemed quite limited. I wished we had booked fine dining instead as the brasserie seemed like pub-grub. We will try it next time, though!
Dining

The Brasserie offers an appealing menu! With a diverse selection of dishes, I tried the local specialties. The ingredients seemed very fresh, I also noticed the presentation was elegant and refined. The dining area was beautifully decorated.
