Contemporary. immaculate and welcoming boutique style hotel less than 5 minutes from World Heritage Castle. The room I stayed in had a very comfortable bed and a view of the mountains. The food was tasty and I found the portions generous. The menu featured quite a lot of locally sourced produce. I had the welsh lamb main course which was... More

This was the second time that we have stayed at Castle Cottage and we had a fantastic stay. The rooms are spacious, clean and very comfortable. The location is fantastic and the castle is a stones throw away. Breakfast is incredible to! Will be back soon.

I'm looking across this page at a review by 'Jacable' and it covers all of what I would say including the fact that we have visited here on a few occasions ourselves. The best thing I can comment and say at this point is that 'we will be back' and not in an Arnold Schwarzenegger way or manner. To Jackie... More

Castle cottage is our favourite place to stay whilst in Wales visiting relatives. This was our 3rd visit to Castle Cottage and surely will not be our last. The whole place is spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated in what we would say is "contemporary with a low beam twist" There's always a warm welcome from Jackie and Glyn and the... More

We first stayed at Castle Cottage in 2005, and now it's April 2013, we have lost count of how many times we have visited and Castle Cottage seems to be better each time. It's no wonder that Glyn (the owner/chef) has won so many awards, including being in the top 100 restaurants in the UK. The food is amazing. Starting... More

I have lost count of how many times we have stayed at Castle Cottage since our first visit (honeymoon, November 1992), but we have spent at least a couple of nights there most years since then (and nearly as many hot dinners). Why keep coming back? The friendly welcome, and the fact that Glyn and Jacqui always seem to have... More

This is the third time we've had the pleasure of staying here, and certainly won't be the last. The service from all staff is first class, effective without being over the top. A great sign of this is that you notice that things have happened - but you don't see them happening. The balance on the service is just right.... More
