Presteigne The Warden Castle Ruins Hotels

"Extremely disappointed - spa and pool closed due to building work, not clearly stated on Expedia. Specifically booked for these facilities after a very long drive. Hotel needed updating and didn’t feel immaculately clean. Front desk was a mess. Paid £144 for one night in a room that felt like a Premier Inn room with a fridge added. Stains on carpet, no pictures or nice touches apart from robes and slippers. Sofabed looked tired and old. Cooked breakfast was good but continental had only mandarin segments - no other fruit and no choice of cereals or pasties. Dining room was bland and dark with no atmosphere - we asked to put music on as it was deathly quiet. Best thing was free parking in a lovely historic town and the shoe shop opposite which was a Sketchers outlet selling end of line with at least 50% discount. Thai restaurant a few doors down from hotel was excellent with outstanding food. Wouldn’t stay again. "

"Friendly, helpful, welcoming staff. Comfortable rooms with good ensuite facilities at a great price. Restaurant has excellent dishes at good prices and the bar serves a good range of drinks again at good prices. A Continental Breakfast is included and there is no cooked breakfast option. The only drawback is the lack of a lift and one or two floors are a bit unveven but to be expected at over 400 years old. "

"great support from owners, nice little comfortable cottage, good bathroom , all very well furnished and decorated, friendly neighbours, good smallholding feel to it, kitchen ok... (I'm a foodie so always feel disappointed in the sparse cooking equipment in all holiday cottages - I always want to say "lose the TV and the Netflix - just give me a salad spinner, a stick blender and a truly sharp knife" ), good atmosphere, we really enjoyed it ."

"The place was immaculate and very welcoming. Amanda and Chris were very communicative. Will happily return!"

"The lodge was perfect. The balcony meant we could sit outside in the pouring rain and stay bone dry. All clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend."

"Situated in a lovely peaceful spot with fab views. The cabin was extremely well equipped with everything you need for your stay even down to cotton wool pads! The hot tub was a super addition to the property! I would definitely recommend this cabin."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Vicarage Cottage. It is indeed ‘a hidden gem’ and we would highly recommend it to future guests. The sizeable kitchen, cosy lounge, small landing and exquisitely decorated bedroom all contribute towards a most unique holiday destination. All communication with the hosts was positive and helpful. With many thanks to John and Paul for sharing this beautifully restored cottage with us. "
