Opt for a Room in the Main House

Guests recommend requesting a room in the main house for a more authentic and comfortable experience, as some annexes were described as inconsistent with the overall charm of the property.

Consider Room Selection Carefully

Some guests found the rooms in the annexes to be less comfortable and inconsistent with the overall charm of the property, so it's advisable to carefully consider room options before booking.

Check for Special Touches in Room

While the rooms were generally well-equipped, some guests found minor issues such as malfunctioning air conditioning and mattresses needing attention, so it's recommended to check for any special requirements or issues upon arrival.

Explore Nearby Attractions

The hotel's location near historic sites such as Newcastle Castle and Ogmore Castle provides an opportunity for guests to explore the area's history and natural beauty.

Request a Room with Good Wi-Fi Signal

If a strong Wi-Fi connection is essential, guests should consider requesting a room with a reliable signal, as some areas of the hotel had weak or non-existent Wi-Fi.

Consider the Season

Guests may want to consider visiting during the low season in September for potentially quieter surroundings and more personalized service.

Enjoy the Restaurant's Taster Menu

While the hotel's restaurant offers a six-course taster menu, guests who prefer a simpler dining experience may want to inquire about alternative options.

Pet-Friendly Accommodation

The hotel allows dogs inside, making it a suitable choice for pet owners looking for a welcoming place to stay.

Take Advantage of the Sauna
