Weekend treat
Was a nice weekend treat but it just lacked the ‘wow’ factor that you get with other high end establishments.
It was expensive for what you get.

Lovely location
Very nice hotel and restaurant located on Penarth seafront. We had a very comfortable stay and enjoyed our time in Penarth.
If you wish to eat at the restaurant you should book a table at least a month in advance. I didn’t and disappointingly the restaurant was fully booked.
We now have an excuse to return!

Outstanding - will be back.
Amazing evening and overnight - I am fortunate enough to eat in Michelin starred restaurants most weeks, so am very familiar with this standard of dining... but am compelled to say that this venue was a glass apart, the food, the service and the atmosphere. Well done! Comfortable and spacious rooms wonderful views.

Very enjoyable stay
We were booked to eat in the restuarant and decided we wanted to be able to enjoy the pairing wines so booked a room.
The room had a beautiful sea view, was very clean and comfortable. Some of the window handles were broken but you could still open and close them. The staff are lovely and very welcoming. Would definitely recommend, and make sure you book into the restuarant to as the food is out of this world!

Lovely weekend in Penarth
This was the first time we had stayed at the hotel and made the decision to upgrade our room for one with a sea view - it was well worth the extra!
The room was extremely well presented and comfortable. Unfortunately, we didn't get the opportunity to have dinner in the restaurant but breakfast was good. The staff were all friendly and attentive without being over powering.
