Castell Howell Leisure Centre Restaurant & Bar in Ceredigion

We booked a last minute break away to Castell Howell, staying in one of the cottages on site. We took 3 children and two dogs with us and had a wonderful stay. The cottage is equipped with the essentials and was kept warm and clean. The beds were comfortable and made with bedding and towels provided. The owners were very welcoming and beyond helpful during our stay. Went out of their way to ensure we had a great time. We were greeted on arrival with a welcome basket with coffee, tea, milk, a small bottle of wine, a bottle of cider and drinks for the children- which was a very lovely gesture. The views surrounding the property are stunning and there were plenty of places to walk the dogs locally, but was also only a 20-30 minute drive to dog friendly beaches in Ceredigan and New Quay. There are lots of other local attractions which the owners are more than happy to advise on things you can do locally and the best places to go. The property is very out of the way, so phone signal was an issue, however, there is wifi in the communal areas- bar and pool. We swam in the on site pool every day and visited the bar as well. It was very quiet so we had the pool to ourselves and had excellent service in the bar. The pool was warm and had changing rooms with showers and toilets as well. The facilities could definitely do with a bit of a clean and updating but this doesn't take away from the overall experience we had. The kids had a blast and we welcomed the break from our phones and work. In fact none of us wanted to leave! We will definitely be returning, thank you Castell Howell!

We stay on the coast when visiting friends and have been several times over the last few months for breakfast. Probably the best in the area! Well worth the drive! Freshly cooked to order , happily accommodating different requests. Thick bacon rashers, nice sausages, lovely black pudding, accompany all the usual sides, enough toast to keep everyone happy. Will be returning just as soon as we can. A haven for bird watchers as loads of red kites and buzzards.

We stayed In a gorgeous cottage with views on three sides. The bed was very comfortable and the cottage had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Dinner in the restaurant was delicious and the locals were very welcoming Highly recommend a visit.

Stayed at Calves cottage in the summer. Despite the weather had a super time. Staying locally this half term and returned three times to use the pool. Pool is a great facility. Warm and clean. Ate three times in the restaurant. Carvery really tasty and good value and food off the menu really good too. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

The people managing the place are very friendly and food smelled good but did not eat. Used swimming pool and I am afraid to say it is very dirty. A thick tide mark in the main pool goes all round the edge and the water was cloudy. The kiddies pool is cleaner. The windows and plastic all need a good clean too. Owner needs to sort this out asap. The changing rooms could do with attention too.
