Lanelay's Bar and Restaurant in Rhondda Cynon Taf

Had afternoon tea ,not the best

You can actually enjoy great food here and sit outside if it isn't raining in Wales ;) I've already done that a few times. The spa at least drives many guests to this hotel on weekends. Unfortunately I can't say anything personal about it. It looks very inviting. But I would book here immediately. It's remote, but that doesn't matter for a spa weekend.

afternoon tea, beautiful! what a treat

Tucked away in a housing estate this lovely little boutique hotel is a real gem. Beautifully styled & decorated with buckets of period features. Reception staff were friendly but spa staff were sadly lacking & really didn't seem interested to even tell us where to find towels. There's a lovely little outdoor pool but seemed to be reserved only for "special guests" which was a shame. The pool is quite small & there's a sauna but otherwise there's not much to the "spa". It became quite busy & not everyone had a lounger to relax on. Coffee in the bar area was lovely & bar staff great! Our room was large and perhaps a little under furnished but with a nice bathroom and wonderful power shower. The absolute diamond in this crown though was Bloc Restaurant. Fantastic ambiance and food to match! Absolutely outstanding quality, amazingly attentive staff especially Ferne, so would return for the restaurant alone. Breakfast was served in another gorgeous, light filled part of the building where the chefs prepared your food in sight, beautifully fresh & well presented with plenty of choice. Could not fault it!
