Cardiff Penhow Castle Hotels

"The staff at the Old Barn were friendly and welcoming . The evening meal and Welsh breakfast were piping hot with generous portions. We really enjoyed our stay and will return."

"Bar was shut by the time I arrived but, parking was good and the staff waited for me. As i had been travelling for over two and a half hours i was happy to see them."

" had a good two night stay at Tŷ Newport. The hotel was as you would expect from a 4 star hotel. The room was a good size, it had a kettle and the courtesy tray. The bathroom was a spacious with shower only. The noise insulation was very good. The motorway was running very close to the hotel and yet there was no noise. All the people at the reception were very friendly and professional. Also the barman was nice and polite. The only two little suggestions for improvement are: It would be useful to have a mini fridge in the room as well as some hand and body lotion in the bathroom. I liked the green initiative they had: If you did not need to have your towels changed every day, you got a voucher for a free drink at the bar. If I were go back to Newport, I would happily stay at Tŷ Newport again."

"The place was easy to get to. Lovely staff and the room was lovely. The room was clean but there was marks on the beds quilt cover and pillow case."

"Staff were excellent! Room lovely and bed great Very hot and AC or heat control and could not get below 21 at night. Adjusted sawyers not available very late - had to order on more expensive would not have booked knowing no onsite pub/restaurant available as a solo traveller that’s a must"

"The property was clean but a little dated. Breakfast was good. The food in general was good. The room was very dated and in need of an update. The prices were extortionate for where it is, way more expensive than Kent on par with London. The biggest miss sell is the tv. It is advertised on Expedia as a 55” smart tv. It is not 55” and is definitely not smart. This was extremely disappointing as my wife and I were looking forward to cosying up in the room and catching up with Netflix as we are very busy people and don’t get much time at home to do this. I will be writing to Expedia to complain about this as it was something we both really wanted in our stay."

"Great location to the conference I was attending"

"Breakfast was served in the main hotel, as the breakfast sometimes served in PAD for Manor House guests was closed. Breakfast was brilliant and sausages a stand out. Four poster room in the Manor House was great, nicely decorated and comfortable. Only niggle was getting ice from both room service and main hotel bar was near impossible. The handbook in the room said ice machines on every floor, which was clearly only the main hotel and not the Manor House. Tried then getting ice from room service who sent only an ice bucket pointless. Then went to the main hotel bar Merlin’s where bar staff questioned me where the ice was going. I’ve never had to justify why or where I wanted ice in a hotel. Use of the forum spa was fantastic and both relaxing and enjoyable. Lots of space and wasn’t too busy through our stay which was a bonus. Overall a great stay and would highly recommend to all."

"Comfortable and well appointed bedrooms, but somewhat aged bathroom which looked a little tired."
