The food was good but the dining area was freezing cold. My husband asked if he could close the door and the waitress played to the room in her explanation of why she couldn’t close the door. She was extremely unhelpful and I ended up leaving most of my meal because I am recovering from lung cancer and the cold air was going on my chest. Poor service.

An underwhelming experience. The bistro lacks atmosphere, furnishings a worn and it could do with a makeover. Evening menu was limited and main courses were over priced for the quality. We got new potatoes that were hards and undercooked. Deserts were great. Overall disappointing & wouldn’t return or recommend to others.

We visited the Nant Ddu Bistro restaurant on 29th. May 2023 for the first time since lockdown. We like this particular place because of it’s beautiful setting and pleasant atmosphere. The staff were efficient and pleasant and the food was ok but nothing spectacular for the price charged. The negative part of my review is that the prices on the online menu for the Nant Ddu are cheaper than the actual prices now being charged. This is very misleading and needs updating. I did mention it to the young man taking the payment. The prawn cocktail starter was £8 and not £7: The sirloin steak was £29.00 and not £26.00. And the Pork loin was £20.00 and not £18.00. This particular meal was therefore £6.00 more expensive than we thought it would be. I checked online again the day after and as yet it has not been updated! Thought the food was rather overpriced to be honest.

Certains plats bons, d’autres très décevants Et surtout, le tout beaucoup trop lent : 45 minutes pour avoir les entrées puis encore 30 minutes entre l’entrée et le plat ! Cela nous a fait renoncer au dessert… Nous avions prévu de dîner plusieurs fois dans ce restaurant puisque nous logions à l’hôtel : nous avons finalement décidé de dîner ailleurs les autres soirs et nous ne l’avons pas regretté

I treated my girlfriend to an overnight spa experience for her birthday. Her spa treatments were booked in for 1500hrs but we arrived at 1100hrs and had use of all the leisure facilities. We used the swimming pool sauna steam room and Jacuzzi and these were not overcrowded and were clean and of a high standard. As part of the spa offer we had 10 pound each allowance off lunch items and 25 pound each off evening meal items. After a few hours use if leisure facilities we took lunch and the restaurant/bistro was welcoming staff were very warming and helpful and food portions were excellent and food piping hot. My girlfriend had her treatments and As I didn't fancy mine they gave some if my time to her so she had extra treatments which was great. She said that the spa facility was great and the staff excellent and professional. For our evening meal we had the lamb shoulder and it was truly one of the best lamb dishes we have tried. Dessert was also great. Room was fantastic size with great river view and size of bed was massive room was clean also. We had a complementary breakfast in morning before checking out and this again was of high standard. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay we would recommend the spa packages to others as good value and will be back for more. If I had to just give a little constructive criticism it's that the carpets in the main hallways are dated threadbare and stained. Carpets in rooms were fine. If they could replace these carpets then I couldn't find fault with this very welcoming gem of a spa hotel

Stayed here for one night. The evening meal and breakfast were great and there’s a lovely relaxed vibe. But the bedrooms are SERIOUSLY disappointing. The carpet was stained, the sofa “pleather” had big worn patches, and the bathroom smelled strongly of drains. Colleagues said their rooms were damp and musty and similarly tired. A big shame.

ROOM... quite dissapointed with room especially bathroom which was very dated and no stand up shower only a hose type one, room was outside main building which we pehaps had as we booked a package deal. SPA.. this was great, pool spacious, sauna did as it should and jacuzzi was lovely, changing rooms need a little bit of attention which lets the rest of it down. My wife had a hot stones massage which she said was lovely and treatment room very clean. FOOD...this was outstanding quality, great service from bar staff and waiters. We had lamb which fell apart, breakfast was beautiful. Overall a great place, great staff only thing that lets it down is the outer rooms nos 14-18.

The room........doesnt look like the pics and there was no bath as stated which dissapointed me as i was looking forward to a long soak in a bubble bath stayed there last night in the execuitive suite it wasnt a good night sleep if im honest the matress was hard and not worth the money paid . The spa ....ok i was expecting big things as ive never been to the spa before and seen the pics must be pics of it when its been cleaned or brand new the jaquzzi needs maintenance done on it its not very bubbly and the head rests are all wobble and the drainage around needs a good clean....the steam room door kept opening so the steam was excaping but when it was pulled shut tight it would stay shut that was nice the poolside floor needs a good scrub as you could see the dirt around it the whole spa needs attention and a good clean. The food.... we came here for a meal back before covid think it was 2018 and it was amazing and we said we will go again and when we had food this time it was amazing aswel so i cant fault that at all nothing to say about it...the chairs had dippened and all underneath a few resteraunt chairs needs repairing but as far as the food goes 5* all day long.

This beautiful Hotel is in need of a deep clean and ultimately a total renovation. The staff and evening meal were excellent, the breakfast was about standard but the room we stayed in was grubby, the bathroom however, should be condemned and was brought to the attention of the lady at reception, with no apology just "I'll get maintenance to take a look"! The toilet was leaking and had rotted the floor, it was spongy and soaked, underneath the vinyl flooring. This was stained heavily after weeks of not being addressed. The sink was crazed and cracked, among many other faults too numerous to mention. We were also told to use the towels from the room for the spar, as they were cutting back on laundry! All the chairs, tables and carpets have seen better days. The steam and sauna rooms need attention and the pool surroundings and changing rooms really need a steam clean, also showers and plumbing need replacing with new. The hot tub was out of service. This Hotel has great potential but I fear has gone beyond rescue without the intervention of substantial investment. It makes me very sad to write this review, please accept it as constructive criticism and get an action plan to at least tackle issues that only require a little bit of elbow grease and minimal investment!

We had a absolutely fantastic stay. Me and my husband traveled down from north wales the other week at the beginning of December, and decided to stay here over the weekend. Me and my husband are both first language welsh and prefer/ more comfortable speaking welsh over english. When we went down for our evening meal on the Saturday night, one of the young girls who told us her name was Lowri by luck happened to bring over our starters and realised that we were welsh speakers ( as that was what we were talking in). She was more than amazing, she spoke welsh to us the entire night and made us feel more than comfortable, she made sure everything for us was taken care of and that we were happy. It was honestly lovely just to hear and see the language being spoken by younger people and seeing how open she was to adapt to serve us and speak welsh to us and make us feel comfortable made our entire stay, and honestly she made our stay fab. When we went down for breakfast on the sunday morning she recognised us and come over and spoke to us for 2 minutes and took our order and the service was impeccable . I believe all of the staff deserve praise for their hard work and effort and they really are all lovely people. The food on top of everything was immaculate, not too pricey but on the higher end, but was absolutely worth the price we payed. Rooms could use a bit of tlc and a little revamp but other than that absolutely amazing.

Called into this place for a Sunday lunch. Normally a pretty good place to eat but if you're a vegetarian don't bother coming here on a Sunday When asked for a vegetarian lunch I was told they couldn't guarantee there wouldn't be animal fat in the roast potatoes. Come on what is a Sunday lunch without roasties I, not a professional chef, live with a meat eater and have no problem with with no animal fat on my roast potatoes. This led me to wonder what about allergies, nuts, wheat etc Surely the chef should be able to cater for all,

I had dinner in the pub, which was surprisingly empty when I arrived - I had been told it’s usually busy. The food menu was quite extensive. I opted for herb crusted hake with freshly cooked vegetables on the side. The hake, which arrived on a bed of spinach, was tasty. Service was prompt if not overly friendly. However the place is let down by an extremely uninspiring interior that completely lacks any sort of character. The wooden bench I sat on was uncomfortable as no cushions were provided. Prices were somewhat steep compared with other places I tried in the local area. I wouldn’t go out of my way to eat here again.

Stayed on a Sunday, viewed menu before arrival,Sunday lunch menu and bistro menu. Had a table booked for 8 pm to us that’s not lunch time,no times stated online or on menu in restaurant so had to make do from the Sunday lunch one. After ordering food noticed loads cobwebs and dust on the light fittings,curtain poles and curtains themselves. Food was delicious by the way. The dinning area needs a good deep clean.

Came here for my partners birthday meal. We arrived 10 minutes before our reservation but were still seated immediately. The dining room is nicely decorated and the gardens well kept. All staff members were very attentive and friendly. The food was absolutely gorgeous. Both of us had a pork dish and none of it was dry. The portions were generous. All in all a fantastic meal out. If I am in the area again, I will definitely return

We have been visiting the Nant ddu lodge for many years and it had never disappointed with excellent food, service and atmosphere. The recently updated menus is a nice change however the disposable paper table clothes are not a welcomed change, they really cheapen the feel compared to the original uncovered tables that they cover. It had a much more traditional and welcoming feel previously...

The restaurant food was lovely. The spa changing room showers and toilet were grubby, around the pool side was a small amount of loungers so couldn’t accommodate everyone on the spa day so little space to relax.

Beautiful Sunday Lunch in idyllic surroundings, even Storm Freya couldn’t put a dampener on our visit. Well worth a visit.

Fabulous food and very good general service, but the speed of service really let it down. Understand that it was busy at the time but to have to wait an hour between courses is a disappointment.

Organised a surprise meal for my parent's hosting 50 guest's in the bistro, due to the number of guest's we were offered the set menu which provides a number of choices including vegan options on request. More than helpful in any request we had, lovely meal.

Excellent food reasonably priced & the staff were so helpful couldn't do enough for us. It was the day of the Wales v England match so the atmosphere was great. Plenty of car parking definitely go there again. Will try the spa next time.

I have stayed in the Nant Ddu on a number of occasions and had an excellent all round experience. Last year I stayed for the weekend and the food was faultless. I was therefore eagerly anticipating lunch yesterday.

Visiting the nant ddu 10 years ago used to be a bit of a treat, however, sadly the pride in detail there previously was appears to have slipped. The bar area has lost its charm and the decor looks shabby and cheap instead of stylish and inviting. Everything looks like it needs an upgrade and the input of a different interior designer. Sadly alongside the shabby decor the housekeeping also appears to have been neglected. The shelving in the alcove near our table had a fine layer of dust over it and it’s contents. The men’s toilets also smelled of urine.

Wow what a fabulous restaurant. Food was incredible - full marks to the chef and to the staff who were happy to give recommendations and suggestions. Stayed there for hours, moving between the lounge area, to the restaurant and back again. Everyone cleared the plates, and we had one very fussy eater!

I was staying with friends for the weekend and was taken to the restaurant. It was fabulous It is under new management and now serving Portuguese food and I can't praise this place highly enough. The food was fantastic. We shared six large bowls of Tapas that included Salmon, Crab, Chicken, Beef and potato dishes as well Portuguese bread. We were offered Portuguese Spare ribs but we didn't have any room and we don't eat Pork but the best of the food was great. We also had two jugs of Sangria and two bottles of wine. We were a party of four and it cost us around £15. Which I thought was excellent value and the food was great. This is a small restaurant with a B&B upstairs. The decor in the dining room is small and intimate with a nice bar. They serve Portuguese wine, which is a great touch. The staff and the chef are really friendly and come out and say hi I would recommend a visit. If I lived locally, I would be visiting here every week. Look forward to my next visit t return
