“'Romantic and historical'”

Reviewed April 7, 2013

Fantastic welcome from Samara and upgrade to a suite 'Dovecote' - very comfortable. Immedicate local area not that attractive, but plenty to see (walking/driving/cycling) close by. Dont miss the Ogmore Valley. Dinner excellent - although our 'package' included the Market Menu we decided to select some of our courses from the a la carte - including the sea bream that... More

Thanks for the feedback, we are glad you enjoyed your stay with us. We have checked out the fans and found the noisy one! Bathrobes in the suites are usually on quilted hangers, either in the wardrobes or in the bathroom, most rooms have space for wash bags, make-up etc on vanity bathroom units. Hope to see you soon.

“One night stay”

Reviewed March 17, 2013

Stayed here for only one night as we were attending rugby at Cardiff, although the result was not what we wanted with the Welsh thrashing us !!!! The Hotel was a comfortable ending to a sad day. I would definitely stay here if in the area again as I found the facilities and cleanliness excellent and the staff very friendly.

Sorry about the rugby result but glad you had fun and enjoyed your stay with us. There's always the next game to win! More

“Superb family birthday celebration”

We visited the restaurant as part of a group of six to celebrate my brother-in-law's birthday. From the moment we set foot inside to the moment we left was excellent. The Sunday lunch menu had a varied selection of starters, mains and desserts. There was something for everyone. I had broccoli soup followed by a roast beef dinner. The raspberry... More

“Excellent midweek break”

Reviewed March 9, 2013

Had an excellent stay at The Great House on a two nights midweek break, taking advantage of their DB&B offer. Our room was in the main house and we enjoyed the charm of this old building where you have to mind your head here and there. The staff was very pleasant, helpful and accommodating. The food in the restaurant was... More
