Hotel berhampiran St Lleurwg's Church Hirwaun, Hirwaun

Quaint house. Clean spaces. Every morning, the ladies fusses over what they can get you for breakfast. Feels like being at a grandmother's house.

Stayed one night to save having to leave at an ungodly hour from Liverpool for a visit to the University. Lovely welcome from Reception. The twin room was great and perfect for us. The tea and coffee making facilities are adequate, there are plenty of plug sockets and USB ports, lots of coat hangers and a luggage rack, a flat screen TV (I had no problems with it, which is unusual for me with hotel room TVs!) and a hairdryer in the room. In the bathroom were soaps, shampoos and shower gels and plenty of towels. The room was quiet and the beds really comfortable and we slept like babies! Breakfast was lovely. I had the full Welsh breakfast (minus the cockles!) there was lots of it and it was delicious! My daughter had the continental breakfast and there was a lot of choice - cereals, fruits, pastries, yoghurts, etc. I thought the breakfasts were great value for money and the restaurant staff were friendly and professional, as were all the members of the hotel staff. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

When my husband and I first viewed Llechwen Hall as a potential venue for our wedding, we instantly fell in love with it. The breathtaking views, coupled with the hotel’s blend of classic charm and modern style, made it clear to us that this was the perfect place to celebrate our special day. The beauty of the venue was simply undeniable, and we were thrilled to book Llechwen Hall as our wedding venue. However, our planning experience with Llechwen Hall was a mix of highs and lows. While there were many positive moments, we did encounter some challenges, primarily due to miscommunication caused by a turnover of wedding coordinators. Unfortunately, this led to some frustration as we found ourselves having to repeat details and discussions that had not been passed on to the new coordinators. For example, from the beginning, we had discussed and stated the importance of having a spacious room for the morning of the wedding to accommodate all of our bridesmaids, myself, and our mothers. As the wedding date approached, we discovered that there was no record of this request, and all the larger rooms in the hotel were already occupied. This was a significant source of stress and disappointment. Despite this setback, we must commend Megan and Rachel for their efforts in securing the Llanfabon Suite for us on the morning of the wedding. They went above and beyond to decorate the room beautifully, allowing us all to get ready together, which was truly appreciated. One particularly concerning incident occurred when we called the venue to make a payment towards our wedding. Shockingly, we were told that there was no record of our wedding being booked at all. This was incredibly alarming, especially considering that by this point, we had already paid a substantial amount toward the total cost. After a tense conversation, it turned out that the receptionist had mistakenly been looking at the wrong year. While this was eventually resolved, it caused us considerable anxiety, raising doubts about the venue’s attention to detail on even the simplest matters. Fast forward to the evening of our wedding, and unfortunately, another issue arose. Toward the later part of the night, I (the groom) ordered a pint at the bar, only to be told that I was not allowed a glass and could only have a paper cup. As you can imagine, a pint in a paper cup was frothy and undrinkable. Frustrated, I expressed my displeasure, stating, ”This is my wedding,” and a member of our wedding party rightly pointed out that after spending so much on the event, the least they could do was provide a proper glass. It was only after this that they finally gave me a glass, but this should never have been an issue in the first place. That said, I want to emphasize how grateful we are for the support we received from Megan, our final wedding coordinator. Megan was amazing—helpful, kind, and truly dedicated to making our wedding day special. She turned what had been a stressful planning process into

Well, where do I start! On arrival there were no parking spaces, other than leaving the car in a nearby dodgy looking public car park. The room was small, no wardrobe or drawers, no hooks for coats, not enough shelving to make it worth unpacking. Not enough space to put luggage so that it wasn't in our way on the floor. Mattress was well worn with bobbles we could feel through the sheets. We had a clean and spacious shower room but no shelving or anywhere to place a toothbrush, or anything else, in the shower room. No hairdryer or shaving point in the room which are usually fairly standard. Breakfast; we waited 1 hour 15 minutes for our order to be processed. when the breakfast finally arrived, the sausage wasn't even lukewarm, it was cold. We have never stayed anywhere where the toast is delivered to our table in whole slices, already buttered, and piled on a tea plate! There wasn't any jam/marmalade or honey to put on the toast. There was rarely anyone on reception to deal with queries, it seemed the skeleton staff were multi-tasking in all areas of the hotel. The staff were working hard in difficult circumstances. The overall impression of the hotel is they are struggling to survive and cost-cutting measures are in place, to the detriment of the guests. Thankfully, we were only there 2 nights. Unfortunately, we will not be returning or recommending this establishment to anyone.

The room was fantastic and big enough for my needs. The bed was super comfy and I certainly slept better than I do at home. The food is very tasty and and a good choice is to be had. The biggest thing is the staff led by the brilliant manager Nicola, who are super friendly and always go the extra mile if you need anything. Big shout out to James Martin, Ben, Bethan, Jason, Kelly, Sian, Howard and Rad, you were all awesome and I miss you all already. I can't wait to come and see you all again. The hotel is super clean thanks to Anya and her team.
