The Old Barn Inn

The Old Barn Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Breakfast is included and the parking is plentiful. We had a brilliant stay at the Old Barn Inn. We booked the Suite and were really impressed. It was spacious, comfortable, spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. One of the highlights was the spa bath in the room absolutely fantastic and a lovely touch. After a long day, being able to relax in there was just what we needed. The staff were lovely and really friendly, which made the stay even better. Nothing seemed too much trouble and the whole place had a really nice, relaxed feel to it. Breakfast deserves a special mention too it was excellent. Plenty of choice, good quality and cooked really well. A great way to start the day. Overall, we really loved our stay and would definitely come back. The room, the spa bath, the breakfast, the staff and the atmosphere were all fantastic."

Pilgrim Hotel

Pilgrim Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Great one night stay at the Pilgrim. The room was spacious and clean, albeit a bit faded - the ensuite in particular could have benefited from redecoration. However, it was still good value for money. Dinner was excellent, and far above the usual hotel standard: the crispy beef in sweet chilli sauce is highly recommended and my filled flatbread starter was also very accomplished. The Pilgrim has clearly found itself a talented chef, which makes the hotel very appealing for anyone who values great food. Overall, a great experience and I hope to stay here again soon."

The Manor House At Celtic Manor

The Manor House At Celtic Manor

8/10 Good
"My second stay at Celtic Manor (Manor House). We booked a second time (after about two years) because the cooked breakfast was the best I remember having. Unfortunately, the manor house breakfasts are now served in the main hotel and are buffet breakfast instead of cooked to order. While it is still ok, it is nothing compared to what it used to be. I found the room to be a bit tired, with frayed carpet, busted hinge on a cupboard door etc, but very clean. It is easy to get lost in the hotel, but it is kinda fun to explore - even if it feels like a big empty hotel in North Korea at times. Staff are mostly very helpful, but there were a few instances where I felt a member of staff couldn't be bothered - but not a big enough deal to go into any detail. Swimming pool is very nice, and the amenities are great. Hotel does get very busy, but it's worth a stay. Oh, £13.50 for overnight parking is quite steep - particularly as it's pay on exit, so if you nip out for any reason you have to pay afresh when you get back rather than parking on the existing ticket, so if you nip out a few times in a day it could get expensive."
