The Countryman - Llantrisant - Restaurant in Rhondda Cynon Taf

Had a brilliant 2 night stay. We felt so welcomed, the breakfast was cooked fresh and extremely good value. Set in a stunning location with 3 lakes, you wouldn't know that you were so close to 2 industrial towns.

This spot was incredible with delicious food and friendly staff, especially the boy serving me was so kind and helpful throughout the experience.

Attended her for a baby shower. Lovely venue and the food was excellent. Good quality and quantity. I would love to know where they buy their bread as it was really delicious.

Very poor and extremely pricey (£140/night) accommodation given it’s the other side of the entrance from the parked cars. Room smelled of bleach. Breakfast charged separately. I thought there might be the usual cereals available but you had to pay extra for these! Really wish I had not stayed there.

Very good food and service from friendly and helpful staff. Spacious room but the setting was stunning and not far from Cardiff. Would definitely stay again and recommend.

Mothers' Day treat excellent as always,been here for numerous pre Christmas meals never disappointed

Stayed overnight and the room was lovely and clean with modern decor. Beautiful surroundings and very very quiet. Some of the best food we have ever tasted too. Highly recommended.

Booked here for mother's day only a week in advance, tried a few other places first but was unsuccessful. Checked a few reviews first which seemed mostly good, but for twenty pounds a head wasn't expecting a lot. Started by asking what red wines they had, after choosing a merlot was told yes that's a good one, it smells nice, really? Was sat near the window which was a nice view except for the two dead flies on the window sill that I mentioned and were scooped into the palm of the waitress, again, gobsmacked. On to the food, which had to be pre ordered, which upon arrival seemed odd as there must have only been five tables occupied out of 8.No pink in the beef my mother and I had, no choice either. Starters and dessert were ok. My main complaint was the lack of general front of house etiquette, which was epitomised by one waitress discussing quite loudly to another table how her son had been smoking a type of marijuana in her car etc etc, 10 out of 10 for sheer stupidity, never again!!!

We stayed at this pub/resteraunt in order to visit the Royal Mint. We chose it for its proximity to Llantrisant. We were given a very warm welcome and found our accommodation to be spotlessly clean and comfortable. There were the usual choices of cereal, fruit etc as well as a full English which was freshly cooked to order. The evening meals very tasty and quite generous portions. The service was prompt and perhaps a bit too quick. Empty plates were whisked away before we had both finished eating.

First of all we were told we could on order from a certain menu because of where we sat.... this wouldn't of been a problem if we weren't the only 4 people in the restaurant. when I ask for a large coke the old lady of a waitress asked me if I wanted diet and she pulled the most horrific face when I said no original please to then I was asked are you sure you don't want the diet one? By this I was absolutely applaud. I felt like leaving from this moment on. Apparently all the food is cooked from fresh but for fish and chips, 2 x carbonara and a pie and chips it took the whole of 6 minutes to arrive.... no way was it all fresh! The corbonara sauce was gritty and un edible, I'm not one to leave bad reviews but honestly am absolutely disgusted with the service and quality of food.

Do they want the business? No life there.Was thinking of booking a party there and the reaction was laid back.It seems like they don't really want business

Fantastic food, friendly staff, excellent service, good quality and value. Cannot fault. Ideal venue for a wedding too , with accommodation. We have visited on a number of occasions and have always been more than pleased with everything. All home cooked food. Brilliant.

I had salmon pancakes to start which were to die for and a steak as my main. Beautifully cooked, tasted fantastic and the prices were reasonable. There were 24 of us all together, we were accommodated well, our starters came out together and our main meals came out together. All in all top marks

Delicious, home cooked food in a wonderful environment. Would highly recommend just to experience the excellent cooking.
