Staff were great. We stayed in the Lapwings and it was gorgeous. Everything we needed. Pool was a good temp and we picked the right rime when it was quiet. Jacuzzi was fab. Thoroughly enjoyed our atay and would definitely stay again. The only thing i would say is brighter lights are needed at the entrance please as it is easy to miss.

Overall a pleasant stay. The resort itself is clean and grounds are well maintained. We stayed in a 1 bed apartment, although really spacious very tired and in need of updating. 2 ring induction hob /fridge no freezer but adequate for our needs. Pub on site friendly and welcoming but no restaurant facility. Pool gets busy very quickly and sauna was out of action, a chill weekend and good base for exploring the area, probably wont return

If you’re used to living in a clean home, give this place a miss. I have no faults of the reception staff but as soon as you enter your room, the first thing that hits you is the smell. The colour of the carpet, the yellowing walls and the urine smelling bathroom will push against every ounce for you to leave. However once you

Difficult to assess as visited in early March, so very much out of season. No hot food on premises. Swimming pool cool (heating issues) on the two occasions we tried, Steam room and jacuzzi were OK, Sauna was out of action. Pool Showers out of action on first visit. Enjoyed the 9 hole pitch and putt. Staff were friendly and helpful. Stayed in the Manor House (a one bedroom apartment), rooms were spacious but real mix of quality of furnishings. Plenty of hot water and ample heating. Outside areas looking in need of work (uneven paving slabs etc).

Property (No9) was good and clean and we very much enjoyed our stay.
However We were told there were only 5 small steps, but the steps were not small, there were eight large ones in total. (If we had both been unable to get up steps we would have found it impossible to check in or both of us to use the spa facilities as the main building has multiple steps which we were not told about).

Warm Welsh Welcome
Warm welcome on arrival from a very helpful and knowledgeable Sian. Our accommodation was great, very spacious, clean and well equipped with all the home comforts needed. The accomodation was set in beautiful lush countryside with rolling hills and mountains around it, all the fresh air and scenery you'd want for a peaceful break. The resort had an indoor and outdoor pool, as well as other facilities that were complimentary, but our stay was too short, so we didn't get to use them, we'll be back for the outdoor pool alone.

Good resort, bit dated property
The resort was good, we liked the huge estate and the rooms. The reception was not very welcoming. Tennis court condition was poor. Some toilets didn't have a hot& cold mixer tap and it was really difficult to flush the toilets!
However the property location and surroundings were excellent! Loved the swimming pool and jacuzzi.

In need of updating throughout, bed needed changing as hadn’t been changed. Housekeeping came the following morning apologised and replaced all with new bedding. The whole apartment smelt damp and musty. Reception staff friendly and helpful. Bar expensive and bar toilets absolutely disgusting. Very expensive for what it is and certainly not up to standard, would not return or recommend.

Going downhill gradually.
The facilities seem rather run down compared to previous years. No Spa, a minimal Gym.
Indoor and outdoor pools were OK, but the showers often didn't have hot water.
It seems that Macdonald Hotels are not investing in the upkeep
