8/10 Good
"The property is a grand old country house within walking distance of Bridgend. Our standard room was spacious and had lovely views over the grounds and the sea beyond. There were no chairs or a sofa in the room, even though there was ample space, so enjoying the view wasn't an easy option. The bed was comfy and the Nespresso machine was a nice touch. The communal areas were very inviting but we didn't utilise them as we were only staying one night. Cooked breakfast was freshly cooked and tasty."
