I’ve stayed here a few times over the years for convenience for work but I’m afraid the rooms are still very outdated , the cleaners do their best but the bath had scummy sealant, the toilet roll holder was rusted , the bathroom floor was looking a bit of a state , the classic doubles are very very basic and need updating and it’s such a shame as the building itself is beautiful, the grounds could also do with some TLC . The plus side is the staff are lovely and the food and restaurant is nice

PROS:The hotel was nice and clean. Location was very good to explore Conwy , Llandudno and Rhyl. Staff was very helpful and friendly. My room was spacious, Bedding was ok ,beds were a bit small despite the space they had. They had a facility to use microwave , fridge and toaster in the conference room. The breakfast was sufficient , may be should cater for kids a bit more. CONS: The shower in our room (412) had no pressure. I was unable to wash my hair and feel relaxed after a long day. The pool was closed at 8pm. They have 2 beautiful peacocks which sat near our window all night and made alot of noise. Overall a lovely hotel, def recommend the hotel, may be just a different room.

Room was not cleaned/checked prior to check in. Strong smell of sewerage. Upon check in we were told that there would be no evening food available due to a wedding. (Not advised in advance). Used insulin needle found by the steps of the pool. Continental breakfast consisted of cereal, and toast. No fresh pastries, meat etc. very poor choice.

Lovely room in beautiful setting. Bed was comfy, bathroom was spacious. Free continental breakfast offered. No evening meals provided but you could get drinks at the bar (take away recommendations and you could eat in the restaurant) Great swimming pool which my grandsons loved

No meals served, only saw 2 members of staff over the 2 night stay. Fire alarm went off @ 1.46am, no explanation at any time, no apology. Heard a child crying non stop at 5am the first night, then heard the person next door snoring the second night. The place was empty, dark, uninviting, old fashioned. I certainly won`t be rushing back

Cannot recommend.

Frustrating as I called the day before to enquire about EV charging and told it was available, then on the day of arrival called to see if it was free so I could arrive with low charge to be told it’s “only for the owners”. On arrival confusing signage, and overall a fairly grubby room with dust, cobwebs and more in the corners and behind doors. I don’t usually notice this stuff, so for me to notice it was noticeable. The furniture needs a bit of an update, and the bathroom seems to be nothing like the pictures! Maybe they refurbished one room for the photoshoot? It’s a lovely building for sure, with an update it could be great. Also - fire alarm at 2am! This is where a fully manned front desk might come in handy.

Stayed 1 night as a stop off. Staff friendly and professional. The pool had been in use when we arrived and we were told we would only be able to use after 7:30pm and pool closed at 8:00pm, which was disappointing as it was one of the reasons for booking this hotel. The staff however told us we could have longer time which was lovely of them. The pool is not massive but enough to have a good swim. Continental breakfast was included in our booking and there was plenty of choice. We will return in the future.
