Llechwen Hall Hotel and Restaurant in Rhondda Cynon Taf

Went for my cousin's wedding in September 2023. Place was freezing, wedding food was disgusting, (breakfast was fine). Whoever organised that wedding and whoever the chef was should be sacked! This picture was the "buffet" and the meal we all left! Djs music was too quiet, staff brought out wrong kids meals. If this was my wedding I'd be asking for a refund. Rooms were nice, venue is nice but weddings they ain't got a clue!

Good afternoon Tea very reasonable price

Llechwen Hall is a photographer's dream for weddings, offering stunning Welsh countryside views and a blend of historic and modern elegance. The venue’s diverse landscapes and tasteful interiors provide endless opportunities for captivating photos. Working here is a delight, thanks to the professional and friendly staff who ensure a seamless experience. For any couple seeking a picturesque setting for their special day, Llechwen Hall is an outstanding choice, making it easy to capture beautiful, lasting memories.

I have just checked out following two days at the Hotel for a friends wedding. Everything has been fantastic! Vicky at the check in desk is an absolute delight so welcoming and helpful on check in and saying hi everytime we ran through the lobby going to breakfast/dinner etc. as the first welcome to the hotel she really set the scene for a wonderfully relaxing weekend. As a Ceolic the gluten free is phenomenal. Kudos to the chefs. Living in the USA I would come back here for a weekend next time I am in wales. Thanks so much for the great stay!

Llechwen Hall is a lovely hotel and the food is very good. I will be back there again. Update: I have stayed at Llechwen Hall about 15 times in the past 6 months. My experience has varied little and always been positive. The staff are helpful, the food is lovely, the rooms offer good value for money and they are dog friendly! I strongly recommend Llechwen Hall Hotel

Last minute break and what a gem this hotel is. Situated in peaceful contryside with beautiful views from the restaurant. Clean warm rooms. The food was great - fine cuisine at reasonable prices. Very tasty and well presented food. The staff were all lovely and helpful. Well done Llechwen Hall for an excellent all round experience 😀

A wonderful venue for our wedding. Highly recommended.

Absolutely stunning stay at Lechwen Hall for a birthday treat! From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in luxury and charm. The room was immaculate and the hotel offered breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, ensuring every need was met with a smile. One of the major highlights for us was the fact that Lechwen Hall is dog-friendly! Being able to bring our pup along made our stay even more enjoyable. The grounds were perfect for long walks with our pet, and the hotel's pet policy made everything seamless. The dining experience was exceptional, with delicious meals served in a beautiful setting. Overall, Lechwen Hall exceeded our expectations in every way. We can't wait to return for another perfect getaway. Highly recommend to anyone seeking a luxurious and pet-friendly retreat!"

Great location with a view, warm welcome and good breakfast

Turned up late afternoon to book a room but the reception staff was most unhelpful. Were not interested from the moment we walked in and tried to book a room. Very expensive. We declined to stay there.

Had afternoon tea. Very nice but portion a little small for those with a big appetite

Great location for events. Been recently for 2 weddings and would recommend if looking for a nice location. It isn't the biggest place I've been to for a wedding so I would check capacity but a great place with amazing views and very private

Nice place but unfortunately waiting far, to long from our food as a wedding party took priority also mixed our rooms up and trying to charge myself for £87.00 for food and drink we didn't have had to go nto my bank account online to show I paid the evening before we left

I stay at Llechwan Hall regularly for work, and am always happy to be back. The team are always helpful and welcoming, and the food is lovely, with a good amount of choice (including veggie options). I highly recommend!

*Before writing this review I contacted Llechwen privately to discuss our visit but after two weeks have had no reply and felt I couldn't hold off on the review any longer* I brought my mother for surprise afternoon tea on Friday 1st September where the only surprise was the appalling customer service we received. I'd like to firstly say that I understand Llechwen is a wedding venue and that a wedding was taking place at the same time as our afternoon tea booking, however, I do not think this is a good enough excuse for terrible customer service. Upon arrival there was a wedding party waiting in the bar area, this is not my issue, I fully understand that crossing a waiting wedding and afternoon tea bookings is difficult, my issue was being told to wait "in the corner" of reception until the wedding party were ready to leave. We were then left in Reception and had to ask for directions to afternoon tea. We were directed to a podium in the bar where we were once again left and ignored by the staff who chatted over a print-out instead of attending to the growing queue of afternoon tea guests. Once we were eventually greeted (and I'll use the term loosely as barking "what's your name" isn't a greeting) we were pointed through to the restaurant, past all of the abandoned glassware from the wedding that no one was clearing up. In the restaurant we were left standing as two waitresses shrieked and ran in and out of the restaurant and kitchen, laughing and joking. These waitresses were completely absent throughout afternoon tea and one dismissed my mother with a wave of her hand while she was mid-sentence. This was especially rude as they were discussing a misunderstanding on the venue's part regarding my mother's allergy. This was detailed when booked as a severe seafood (mollusc and crustacean) allergy and misinterpreted as a fish allergy. This was not a problem until the waitress cut my mother off as she was explaining she could eat a cod goujon. The afternoon tea itself was very enjoyable, and we would have liked to stay longer but a second pot of tea was never offered to us and honestly, we wanted to leave. As I previously said, I understand that there was a wedding going on at the same time as afternoon tea and that the majority of staff were likely diverted to this, but the waitresses we were left with were so rude, dismissive and at times childish (giggling at the coffee machine and running back and forth laughing) that it concerned me. In addition to this, when we spoke to Reception to get this email address to contact, we encountered another rude member of staff (male and wearing glasses) who again dismissed us and never asked why we were eager to contact the venue privately or if he could do anything to help us. I found the customer service we encountered from entry to departure was shocking and in dire need of improvement. Based entirely on this experience, I would not recommend Llechwen to anyone (for any occasion) due to poor customer service.

lovely hotel just off the A470, fantastic staff, all very friendly and accommodating, Excellent food, lovely views and totally relaxing - also dog friendly. Would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting this part of south Wales. Sunday lunch was superb.

Stayed one night as my teenager had an interview in the area. We deliberately chose one of their newly refurbished rooms as it had air conditioning in the room. Room lovely, air conditioning as advertised and effective. Quiet and clean room. It was quiet even though we did see a wedding reception happening as we were checking in, no sound in the room. The room is modern. Hotel itself is beautiful and traditional. Staff lovely, everyone we spoke to. Breakfast was good and fresh and hot. Also a lovely room with a great view. If she gets the job, I think I will be staying here routinely, it’s lovely.

Wow! Delicious dinner in a stunning dining room. The set meal was outstanding, the team serving us drinks and food were amazing. We are guests of the hotel and the whole weekend has been incredible, nothing has been too much trouble. We are definitely returning to the wonderful Llechwen Hall Hotel in the near future. Thank you to the team here.

Staff were as great as last time we visited a month back. The beef & lamb meats were lovely as were the roast potatoes. The mushroom on bread starter was delicious too. However the broccoli & cauliflower were more uncooked than al dente, the gravy more like a jus was too thin, the crumble was inedible & we all tried it. It seemed that the powdery 'crumble' was an add on rather than part of the dish & the filling was sharp not sweet. Not bad value at £15 for 3 courses overall. The view from the dining area is really nice.

What a lovely establishment, could not think of the words to describe this place, but the word I would use is fandabydosey

This was my second visit to the hotel we stayed in august and my god what a difference it’s now the 29 oct 😞 No breakfast upon arrival couldn’t even have toast as no butter Massively unstaffed I don’t think any one spoke English Tables not cleaned floor didn’t look the cleanest Had to wait twenty minutes for a drink Room was ok ish bed looked as if it had been thrown together as before was immaculate finger marks on every glass top I could see Shower had hair stuck to the shower head dried soap stuck to everything the shower drain was absolutely disgusting 🤢 Rubbish still left in the bed side draw and the over all smell in the hotel was just like B.O not a pleasant stay this month at all 👎🏻

First night at the hotel we took dinner. Photos in the gallery on the website looked so very nice! That must be fantastic. As it was served it did not look like the photos at all... Cod was replaced by heek and I think it was not worth the price/costs.

Family wedding Didn’t know what to expect but the minute I parked my car I was blown away by the views from every angle My room was perfect with a Juliet balcony. Wedding was held in the field adjacent to the building and the reception held marquee overlooking the Welsh countryside. Perfect in every way. Only one little improvement needed which is to upgrade the pillows as they are in contrast to the superb mattress and bedding Thanks to your amazing staff and facilities

I booked the Mother’s Day three course set menu and the food was an excellent standard and a really good price. Staff were attentive and very good at managing drinks and food orders. Very quick and efficient service!

Served afternoon tea today. Variety of pastries and finger sandwiches. Compliments to the pastry chef. Absolutely delicious. Could not eat all of the pastries so box was provided so I could take the remainder home. This is an experience that I would repeat.

Stayed here for 2 nights. Meals both evenings were great. Breakfast was also lovely. Limited menu that does not change. No Sunday lunch or day time menu.

We visited on a busy Friday evening as a couple. The restaurant was pleasantly full and was also catering for a wedding. We had a really relaxed evening with excellent food and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Although still short staffed post lockdown the service was made more than acceptable by the friendly and open approach by the staff; especially Shaun who went out of his way to make everyone happy. We all understand that restarting after the trials imposed by COVID must be very difficult, and despite one or two glitches these guys have covered it very well. We really enjoyed our evening and wouldn’t hesitate to go back, especially supporting a local business.

We booked a table for our anniversary as we had our wedding at this venue. We were not informed of any limited menu at the time of booking. The choice was very limited, no steaks etc and the food that we did order that was available was very poor. Fish and chips, steak pie (that was so tough you couldn't chew it and a chicken dish that was way over priced that wouldn't pass for a bar meal. Add to that overpriced bottle of wine (probably the worse bottle of Melot that Ive tasted) and belive it or not no beers on tap and not even Zinfandel wine available even though that was on the menu. Add to that sticky tables with the cutlery sticking to the table and a broken chair that we had to swap . I could go on... It seems this place has lost its way and is a big disappointment. Definitely not what it was and very poorly managed. I felt sorry for the staff as I think they were embarrassed for us.

Sunday lunch - family party of 19 in socially distanced bubbles for a 60th birthday. The venue is pretty but the staff were obviously harassed and the meet and greet person most unwelcoming in her manner. Table staff were pleasant but we waited over an hour (on a very hot day) to receive a first tray of cold drinks and another half an hour after that to even receive our starters. Without exception the starters were delicious. After that it was all down hill. Those of the party who had beef (the majority) found two small thin slices arrived with a yorkshire pudding, (presumably oversized to make up for the scarcity of meat), a couple of dry roasties, and a roasted carrot - this latter was actually the nicest thing on the plate, together with the gravy which was delicious. Despite the slimness of the meat slices, we found the beef could not be cut with the knives provided and when we did manage to 'stretch' bits off, it took a great deal of chewing to get it down. Meanwhile, two of the party returned their lamb dinners almost immediately - one had such a thick layer of fat on the entire underside of one slice, again it could not be cut at all and the other dinner was not just beautifully pink but raw and bleeding on the plate. Then the dishes of vegetables arrived - the cauliflower and new potatoes were fine, but the broccoli and cabbage were utterly raw! I'm a fan of crunchy vegetables but it was ridiculous - the cabbage and broccoli stalks could NOT be cut with those knives!! Apologies were made by a pleasant waitress who replaced the 2 lamb dinners with beef and when they arrived there was at least a bit more of a generous helping of meat on the plate - but once again, it was IMPOSSIBLE to even cut the meat let alone chew it. the beef was left. As for the undercooked veg, the only thing that could be suggested was to bring us more of the same??? How does that help? By now, more than one of our tables were laughing out loud not because we were having a lovely time but laughing AT THE MEAL. No-one wishes to spoil anyone's special birthday by making a fuss and storming out but had it been a normal Sunday lunch we most certainly would have done. Its not even as if the meal is a cheapie - 3 courses at £15.95 and £2.20 for a half pint glass of coke on top should have ensured a tasty, heart meal, no problem. I cannot think what the management of Lechwen Hall can be thinking to serve such a substandard and by implication, over-priced offering. As for dessert - those who had cheesecake in a glass pronounced it tasty but the biscuit at the bottom was in a dust form and appeared to have never seen any butter. Meanwhile the chocolate brownie/ cake type dish was dry and as for the blackberry and apple crumble - its was so hard and congealed on top it was a threat to anyone's fillings - again we left ours. What an utter disappointment! They knocked a few cokes off the bill by way of compensation but beyond that nothing was offered other than constant apologies by the pleasant waitress. Well, that's Llechwen's loss - there were 19 in our family party and not only would we never recommend their attempt at Sunday lunch to anyone but we would actively discourage anyone from believing they are in for a treat at this venue. The complete opposite was our experience. Never again! Shame on you Llechwen Hall.

We visited as a family of three for Sunday lunch having booked a table a week before. We did have to leave a £5 deposit each, which I think in these times when restaurants cannot afford no shows due to the reduced number of covers,...

Great rooms and great food. Has amazing view and walks close by. Plenty of parking spaces available, great customer service, always ready to help.

We booked here because it had great reviews and we wanted to treat some friends for lunch. It was a wise choice, lunch was great as indeed our evening meal. Our room was large with a four poster big enough for a family or 4!

Breakfast as a guest in the hotel was pretty grim, but it transforms into a great restaurant come evening...

This was our second visit to Llechwen Hall and although it was great first time around I think it was even better this time. The staff are very accommodating and the hotel is very dog friendly. We ate in the lounge so we didn’t have...

Visited Sunday 8th December 2019 with friends, the service was excellent and very friendly. The food was superb in every detail and the price was very reasonable, I couldn't fault it in any way,. Will visit again at next opportunity. First class!

friendly service Food very high standard and tasty generous portions Surprisingly Enough I swear by Sunday lunch at my favourite local The Bunch Of Grapes Pontypridd but this dinner here was tastier and a fair tad cheaper than many other local pubs. They strive here...

Fantastic fish and chip meal served in the restaurant from the bar menu. Bar menu seems to be better value than the full a la carte.

this is probably one of my top 5 places for sunday lunch it is not like other carverys sat under heat lamps for hours it is perfect in every detail the chef comes out to serve and is generous with the portions it tastes just...

This hotel is in a beautiful setting. We attended a wedding there which was really well organised and staff were really friendly. The marquee was lovely. The hotel itself is a little tired looking and the room we stayed in the coach house was definitely...

My husband and I visited this restaurant at lunchtime with our dog as we have a number of times before. We ordered off the set lunchtime menu £9.95 for two courses. They didn’t have any of the lamb or sea bass left. They did however...

Very disappointed,lovely house and gardens but let down by the service by staff. Not on the ball and seemed unable to cope to the standard I had expected.

I stayed here for just one night, as I was visiting Abercynon to research George Ewart Evans. Sunday evening when I arrived, there was a wedding, but still opportunity to enjoy a beer outside and admire the view. A bar meal and beer was filling,...

Having just started a new job which will mean visiting this part of Wales each week, I cannot praise this hotel enough. From the moment I walked through the door the staff were amazing, friendly and helpful. The food is top notch and to sit...

Excellent welcoming experience and great value for money. Dinner service which was very nice. Beautiful venue and staff very helpful.The meals and desserts were lovely. Will be back soon!

A surprise birthday party was arranged here at 2pm on a Sunday. Had the use of a large room for our 17 guest party. Meals (3 courses) were pre booked in advance. Location of this venue is excellent, at the top of a valley with superb views. The venue was well presented and although the headroom was a little low it added to the atmosphere. The first problem was bar service. The only gentleman serving had a hand-held card machine that had problems connecting so service was slow. Starters were served around 2.30pm. Most were well received, my trout dish was not pleasant and served on a flavourless biscuit. Mains were served about 20 minutes later. However, they took several relays to get the meat served, an age to get the vegetables, then gravy, then sauces. There was at least a 15 minute wait from first meat service to completing the service. Quantity and quality of mains were good, waiting ages not so good. Desert service was better. I`m not sure if there`s a long walk from the kitchen to the dining area but the slow service certainly deminished my enjoyment of the meal. Hopefully the business will take note of this critique as I would have happily given at least a 4 star rating if it were not for service issues.

Attended for the Easter Sunday lunch and it was delicious. Staff were amazing and made our daughter feel very welcome.

Mothers Day disappointment. Had to pre pay for our meal that was not supplied. Serious understaffing left us waiting for our puddings after nearly 2 hours at our table. Had to offset cost of soft drinks. No Mother's Day gift as promised. Very poor service.

We were asked to preorder and pay up in full before coming for lunch. On arrival the location is lovely. Our party of 9 were directed to the marque which was decorated like a wedding.

Excellent Sunday lunch at a reasonable price for either two or three courses. The lamb was superb and there were lots of fresh vegetables to compliment it. A very high standard of service made the experience great too.

We popped in for Sunday Lunch. Venue beautiful as always (even in the rain!) Staff very attentive and friendly.

Found staff not very welcoming, lot of walking back and forth while staff preparing rooms. Food was poor for the price they charge. Lovely grounds.

If you’re after a beautiful setting then Llechwen Hall will give you that. The drive up to the venue is a fine spectacle. Wish I’d stopped to take a photo.

We had our annual work Christmas meal on a lunchtime at llechwen hall again and the food was amazing. The stuffed and wrapped chicken was out of this world, along with the tastiest posset. Can’t wait to visit again soon for afternoon tea and will be up for a Sunday lunch too.

We haven't visit the Llechwen restaurant for some time and we were impressed with the improvements we found. As our anniversary is close to Christmas we were happy to see the lovely Christmas décor. The restaurant staff were very attentive and were happy to answer any questions about the menu(my husband is a vegetarian) The food was excellent and we took our coffee and after dinner drinks in the lounge. We had a great night and will visit again.

My partner surprised me with a lovely romantic meal here . The whole experience was wonderful , the food , surroundings were very special.

We Came to Llechwen for a family Xmas meal ,as we do every year. The food was good and you could see the staff were trying there hardest even though they were clearly understaffed. I don’t normally leave reviews but both me and my mother could not believe the way the chef was talking to the staff and slagging off his ex wife in the corridor, totally unprofessional and stinking of cider !!! No wonder none of the staff don’t look happy if that’s what they face daily !!!!

The menu has a really good variety and reasonable prices. Service was quick and efficient. We were with a group of frinds staying at the hotel and the staff set up eating area in the lounge so thier dog could stay with us too.

We have stayed at Llechwen Hall several times and each time are impressed by the friendliness of the staff and how they treat our dog. It is an excellent dog friendly hotel with a great restaurant and they allow you to eat in the lounge with your dog (including breakfast). The setting is perfect for a visit to South Wales.

stayed at the hotel and with lovely interiors and decor we stayed and ate in the restaurant. and bar. 😀😃😃😃 lovely place

A fantastic day out, food and service outstanding. A real triumph for Llechwen Hall. I don't normally look forward to Christmas lunch out but this was outstanding.

Last minute stay over with my wife . This hotel gets better every visit , service , food , venue perfect ! Very friendly and helpful staff, hotel bar open late. Best steak I have ever had and break fast was bang on as well.

Recent family meal, very disappointed in the quality of the food, most of our group felt the food was lacking in taste and quantity. The chicken meal which was supposed to be served with seasonal mash did not, the smoked haddock starter- described as having laverbread had none- very disappointed because the laverbread is why I ordered that starter in the first place, the haddock was an inch square- if that and completely lost in the huge portion of leeks. The halibut main meal was also poor, again overpowered with leeks, under cooked fish and the clam risotto that I was looking forward to was literally one tablespoons worth.

Went for mother's day set menu was beautiful lovely setting beautiful gardens friendly helpful staff beautiful old Manor house

We found Llechwen Hall Hotel on a narrow winding road near Pontypridd, It is in a beautiful setting & worth the trip to stay there. The room we had was spacious - Clean - Comfortable, the staff were very welcoming .... We had Dinner in the Restaurant - very much enjoyed by us both, although we thought a little bit expensive..... This Hotel is set in lovely grounds, with fantastic views over the Valleys..... I would love to go back next time we are in Wales...............

Went for a meal at restaurant last night with friends. Booked table 7.30 sat down at 8. Lack of staff and service added to a very poor night. They had a function on and didn’t seem to be able to cope. We didn’t even stay for desert. So fed up of waiting. Opened our own wine served ourself. Other people walked out as they had waited 2 hours for wood. Won’t be going there again. Very poor service and lack of staff.

Had great stay for a wedding, rooms are great, love the new extension on the marquee, two things that didn't help the trip was you couldn't check in untill 2 pm unless you was willing to pay an extra £30, this wouldn't be great if you was traveling long distance and hoping to get dressed at the hotel for the wedding. Second was getting served in the lounge bar at the end of night. Food was exceptional.

We are a group of old friends that meet a few time a year and decided to try The Llechwen Hall for a meal as it is a place we have visited over the years when we lived in the area.

The location of this place is amazing, unfortunately that's really all it's got going for it, some of the staff were unfriendly,the rooms were dated and in dire need of refurbishment, the showers didn't work properly and the event organising was poor. We stayed at a premier Inn 20 mins down the road for half the price and everything was much better

We had breakfast, lunch, and dinner and all three were very good.

Visited on Tuesday for my sister's birthday.We were a party of 4 adults.Booked in advance but on arrival found we were the only group in the lounge.Disappointed as very quiet but decided that we would then have all attention on ourselves!! We ordered a bottle of wine @£16.95 and a glass of lager for my 91 year old father.We ordered x 4 fish and chips.Very easy for the chef one would think. We were called through into the restaurant and the food was brought through by a young waitress.i immediately swapped my dad's fish with mine as thought it looked overdone.This was an understatement. On seeing into my fish I found that the fish had completely disappeared beyond recognition and thus was the same for my mum and my sister. My dad's was marginally less burned but no flakes of white cod to be seen. Unfortunately my sister has diabetes and had injected her insulin when the fish and chips had been served so she needed to eat quickly. We paid for our drinks and left immediately. The young manager did offer to replace the meals but we declined. There was only one other table to be served before us and that was a table of 4 women having afternoon tea.How can anyone calling themselves a chef send out fish and chips for x 4 people that was so badly cooked? Think cook needs replacing. We subsequently left and picked up cod and chips from a local takeaway. Never again will I visit Llechwen Hall.Disappointed as it's a beautiful place with wonderful views.My sister survived to tell the tale!!

Booked Afternoon Tea, waiting staff very polite and helpful.

we had beautifully ooked roast lamb with freshly cooked vegetables. Large portions and lots of gravy. Very tasty apple strudel with icecream for dessert

Afternoon tea booked with my elderly Mum...great first impressions with response from enquiry for making the booking....

Well presented comfortable seating good meal Drinks a little pricey .We were in the Nelson Room and a clothes rail or hangers would have been useful but very accamadating staff

As a group of 8 friends, we visit these kind of establishments every year for a party.

Even though we were traveling with our dog, and didn't expect the hotel to offer us any dining options to which our dog could accompany us, they were happy to set a table for us in the bar area, so we could enjoy dinner without having to leave our little four-legged friend alone in the room. The menu had some interesting options, and the food was excellent. The food wasn't over-priced, and service was very friendly and efficient. There were enough vegetarian options available as well.

The food is amazing Location is lovely too Need a car as it is on the edge of a mountain. It's not easily accessible. In the summer months it's the prettiest place.

Really wowed by the amazing scenery here. Food was good but not brilliant. Lovely venue for weddings. Got piped in for food as we got mixed in with a wedding party. Not a place I would take children for food unless they are really well behaved OR weather is fabulous so they could go outside to play. Definitely a place for couples

We went here (a group of work colleagues) for a celebratory meal and to have a wee nose round the hotel as a potential venue for a conference. The staff were friendly but it all felt a little bit amateur - not really sure why. The hotel is in an amazingly beautiful setting - in order to get to the hotel from the main road it's along a single lane road that's a bit windy but well worth the travail. The food was very adequate, not outstanding but good enough. I had soup as a starter - great actually with homemade bread. The bread lacked any salt which let it down. Other members of the group had, amongst others, scallops - looked great, duck - said was enjoyable and a filo parcel. I had sea bass as the main course on chorizo and vegetables. The fish was good but the veg was completely over salted - almost uneatable. Chicken kiev looked great as did the lamb. I didn't have a desert. There was a basil and lime tart that was so sweet my colleague couldn't finish it, the chocolate brownie was good. The waiting staff were friendly and attentive. It was enjoyable enough but far from outstanding.

Wonderful early evening meal. Very reasonably priced and high-quality food. Staff were really nice and helpful - nothing was too much trouble. It was our first night out as a couple in forever and the hotel was really accommodating, even though they had a wedding on too.

En el restaurante con ella mi esposa para la cena no disfruté en absoluto y el propietario fue muy grosero cuando le dije que mi opinión después de que pedí!

Todo el lugar es increíble, desde el personal a la comida, y el edificio en sí. Celebramos nuestra boda aquí en el comienzo de julio, con la recepción en la parte trasera del edificio en la carpa. Todo estaba a la izquierda de su boda co-ordinater charlotte quien era muy profesional y amable durante nuestra boda.

Nuestros amigos habían llegado después de 4 semanas por Europa, así que reservamos para comer en Llechwen Hall el sábado por la noche. El restaurante estaba lleno y el ambiente era cálido y amable en esta hermosa noche de veranos. La vista sobre los valles de Gales del Sur es espectacular y la iluminación ha ayudado a crear un ambiente romántico para la noche. La comida era excelente, así como el servicio y nuestros amigos que son viajeros experimentados estaban encantados en toda la experiencia

This hotel is obviously used for weddings - there was a mid week wedding there during my stay. The room was lovely and comfortable and the staff were very friendly. My only problem was with the restaurant service. We ordered afternoon tea and a sandwich but my food was eaten long before my husband's sandwich arrived (around 1 hour later). I then had another problem when I checked out. I wanted to keep my hotel bill separate (for business expenses) and I paid for the food and drink separately. When I checked out, all of the food that I had already paid for had been added to my bill, alongside a bill for a bottle of Prosecco which I had not ordered. I showed the receptionist my receipts and the extra items were taken off the bill. If you stay, please check your bill. I also had a frittata with spring vegetables as a meal. I have ordered this many times at other restaurants. This was the first time that I had a frittata with carrots, broccoli and gravy. It meant that the frittata was soggy from the gravy and tasted really weird.

Some of the items on the menu as excellent and others less so. The parsnip soup was so salty I had to send it back but the waiter immediately replaced it with something else and no argument. It would be good if they put cloths on the tables because the wood is very tired........at the point of becoming unhygienic. The breakfast is very good and the staff are very friendly, though inexperienced and a little naive. I like the place though. It is one of the best places available in the Valleys.

I have been coming to this restaurant on and off for the last 30 years and seen its good days, and not so good days.Having not been for a few years, it was pleasing to see the downstairs refurbishment which has opened up the lounge areas and added an impressive glass box in the restaurant, which affords good view of the surrounding mountains.The carpark was full for a wedding and the rooms seemed busy, but the restaurant was virtually empty, which doesn't help with the ambience.On the positive side the service was very friendly and the food generally of a good standard. The steak was excellent and the pork starter very tasty, but a bit on the small side.There were 2 major gripes. Firstly, although the service was friendly, it wasn't of a particularly high standard. Several tables in the restaurant had been left uncleared while we dined and were then cleared around us as we were eating the desserts. There was nobody at reception to meet us as we arrived and the bill was incorrect.The 2nd problem is that main restaurant seems to have 2 menus running at the same time. There is the a la carte menu with starters around £6-7 and mains £17-30, which attempts to be fine dining with some and also an "all day" menu with more gastro pub style dishes at around £10. Llechwen needs to decide if it is going to aim to be a relatively high end "fine dining" restaurant or more of an informal gastro pub type establishment, with the more informal service that comes with that. At the moment it is neither one nor the other and this provides a confused offering.There is a lot of potential here but the place is crying out for some experienced management to improve the service and provide the direction for the restaurant.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch here with excellent quality food. Would have given maximum score but both my wife and I thought venue let down by poor toilet facilities and lack of ventilation. Broken ironmongery in the gents not in keeping with the high standards elsewhere.

The grounds and views are picturesque! Food was very basic: starters had asparagus which was dry and wilted, albeit with a dip that was not "heavy" or unduly creamy (so liked the latter), lamb in the main course was all tendons and sinews- chewy and difficult to cut with cutlery provided, over-baked gnocchi was good and tasty, dessert was the worst we have ever had in even a very basic pub- we had different ones (chocolate cake, roulade, cheese cake) but they all looked very amateurish and hard as boards, that couldn't be "broken" down with fork/spoon...the sound of others attempting to do so was resounding all over the hall above the din of conversing people and the music! It took forever to clear the table after. Then came the coffee which was so STRONG that the milk provided, despite tipping it all in, was not enough to "mellow" down even one cup! The dessert-loving kids and coffee-loving adults couldn't finish what was in front at the table. We paid and left, vowing never to go there again! Sorry

We attended my niece's wedding here and stayed at the hotel overnight. The wedding blessing and the following wedding breakfast and evening reception were of a very high standard. The staff were really friendly and professional. Everything was perfect. The wedding marquee was an amazing space and they decked it out so beautifully for the wedding breakfast and evening function. We took 2 four poster bedrooms. One was in the main hotel building and the other was in the coach house. The bed in the coach house was far larger then the bed in the main building. Both rooms were beautiful though. Brea fast buffet pretty standard

My wife and I have eaten at the Lechwen Hall on a number of occasions during the last few years and prior to this visit in March 2017 our last meal there was on Mothering Sunday about 4-years ago. The situation of the hotel is magnificent high on a hill between two valleys, the views are splendid especially on a sunny day as this visit was. Since our last visit a marquee has been erected, it looks as though it is set out for wedding receptions and it is because of this that the experience was not as good as previously. Our family party consisted of six adults including two grand-mothers and a mother, we were given a table at the back of the marquee for our 'second sitting' lunch at 15.00 hours. Food had been pre-ordered so within about 10-minutes of sitting down our first course arrived; we had to ask for some drinks then when it would have been better had we been asked as soon as possible after we had been seated. The quality of the food was satisfactory considering that it had been prepared in advance and kept warm, it was edible and I have no problems with that, but it was the speed of service that was not so good as there was a gap of some minutes between the delivery of each set of meals, i.e. those diners on our table having beef were served, a few minutes later those having chicken were served, etc. Finally, after all main courses were on the table there was another wait and a small plate of vegetables was served. After dessert was eaten some coffees were wanted, in two ways this caused some problems because firstly, trying to attract the attention of a member of the waiting staff was difficult (they were under pressure and concentrated on delivering food from the kitchen and did not want to look elsewhere and catch a diner's eye on another table), our order was for 3 black coffees and 1 floater coffee. The 3 black coffees were brought to the table in about 10-minutes, a further 10-minutes (or so) elapsed and an enquiry had to be made as to the whereabouts of the floater coffee, we were told that the person who had been sent to prepare it had made it incorrectly and he/she was sent back to try again - eventually the floater coffee appeared.From the position of a customer (a customer that has experience in the catering business) I would suggest that the problems we experienced were due to the consequences of one managerial decision, it being make as much money as possible by filling all the dining areas available with two lunch sittings. The consequences of this being that food had to be pre-cooked and kept warm until required; many waiting staff were required, mostly young people, but they had been given insufficient training for such a big event, therefore they coped poorly as noted earlier. Prior to our visit my wife had looked at the website of the Llechwyn Hall and found that it was advertising its 2015 Mothering Sunday Lunch; what else does this say about the management of the establishment?Of course, potentially. the biggest consequence of this very average Mothering Sunday lunch is that the reputation of the Llechwen Hall may be lost; it has for many years been considered as one of the better places to eat in this area. I am concerned that customers will not be happy at paying circa £30 per head for an average meal and will be unlikely to celebrate a future birthday, wedding anniversary or simply have a meal out following this poor display.A message to the management of Llechwen Hall: Come on, get your act together, stop being another money-grabbing establishment, concentrate on what you are good at by providing good quality, well cooked food with impeccable service at a fair price, because if you do not, your customers will find somewhere that does.

I grew up 4 miles from this place. In my childhood my friends father was trying to work on it as he part owned it. I think it took 2 decades to sort. I went there last week & was shocked by how good it was. I had sea bream & it was cooked to perfection. It was a work dinner but really good

Excellent hotel rooms lovely and clean the staff were very friendly and helpful will definitely stay there again

We booked a meal at Llechwen Hall Hotel and overnight accommodation in February 2017 for a romantic Valentines night out.When approaching the hotel there was ample parking facilities with plenty of room to manoeuve. As we entered the restaurant it seemed dark and gloomy. The only sign that it it was valentines night was a single rose that adorned the empty table.The price of the drinks were quite reasonable, but the opposite was true of the limited food menu. A small 8 oz steak was priced at £27-00.There was no type of fish courses and little choice of main dishes. What was available, although small and tasty, was extremely overpriced..The service was poor, having to wait to long to be served, which was reflected in the price in the form of a reduction in the bill.In contrast, The 'Abercynon' Hotel bedroom suite was beautifully decorated and warm and inviting. With its large draped elegant four poster bed gracing the room, it made a welcoming place for any traveler. The room was clean and airy and a scenic view made for a romantic experience. In addition, there was plenty of space for luggage and clothes. The contemporary en suite bathroom was tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean with fresh linen available.All in all the hotel is a lovely building with beautiful accommodation, but the restaurant let the venue down.

A bit had to find, but a lovely location and attractive building.We were in the (dog-friendly) lodge in a large room with comfortable twin double beds. The style is traditional (and dated) and a bit worn (broken lock on the bathroom door etc). The room was also very hot and hard to regulate (open windows the only solution).The menu in the restaurant was ok, but the food was nothing special. The soup was tasty but also super-heated (microwaved?). My son's pudding was inedible (hard frozen in the middle) and must have been out of a packet (it got sent back).Service was friendly but not very polished (dishes placed on top of napkins, slow to respond - chased twice for pudding).

We went for Sunday lunch and to have a tour by the wedding planner as my daughter and future son-in-law have booked Llechwen Hall for their wedding venue next year. The main course was tasty and well presented and staff were courteous. I was a little disappointed by the bought meringue in the pavlova though. The new marquee looks great; coupled with the views it will be a wonderful wedding venue. The wedding planner was very helpful and answered all our questions.

Great friendly serviceFood very high standard Sunday lunch cheaper than many good pubs 10 x better plenty of it and good presentation All in all a fab place to stay with great hospitality and fantastic tasty fresh foodThe orangery restaurant is perfect eatery location with plenty of light coming through

Our office chose this place for their 2016 Christmas meal, and we were very glad we did. It's a lovely place, with very helpful and pleasant staff.There's a bit of a hairy drive up a steep, winding access-road to get there, which I wouldn't want to attempt in snowy or icy weather without the aid of a Sherpa team, but when you reach the hotel at the top you'll find yourself rewarded with some beautiful views.The building itself has some history, and is very nicely appointed inside and out. The dining room has a glass conservatory extension, which allows the diner to make the most of that lovely view.The food was simple and unpretentious, well prepared and very tasty. All in all, a very enjoyable experience.

This was my secret wedding reception for 4 people. Once the staff realised it was our wedding meal, they provided champagne and a decotated slate to congratulate us. Sstaff were professional attentive and friendly. Service was excellent and food delicious9

I arranged a private dinning family Christmas lunch on 16th Dec 2016. The service, meals and staff were excellent. I will defiantly book this venue again next year.

Absolutely awful dinner today. It was that bad we wished we hadn't gone!The bread rolls were hard the main course was over cooked. I had the vegetarian roulade and it was so salty I couldn't finish it.The pâté for starters was really cold as was the venue. We were seated in the marque and they put the heating on about 10 minutes before we left. Bitterly disappointed and won't be going back.
