Love this hotel, been using it as a base for Karting at Llandow. Amazing old building, great food and drink…room was good too
Allocated room was nice but very hot, the radiator was broken so could not be turned down or off. I was given another room which looked to be an upgrade, for no extra cost. Customer service very good. Plenty of car parking space. Comfortable bed and very clean.
The lamb kekabs were super chewy unfortunately, but other meals were good .
Nice atmosphere there, outside area was very nice and so was the little bar
Business stopover. Clean with really friendly staff and a brilliant restaurant right next door. No need for plastic small shampoo bottles, otherwise all good.
This was our second stay at The Great House. Last time we had a room in the hotel building this time it was in the "annex". Very comfortable, large room. Staff were all really nice, very good breakfast on both days. Enjoyed the cocktails too. Thanks to all the team.
