We have been returning customers for over twenty years. However, this time we were put in a room which we felt was too small and we considered inadequate. There was no room to put our suitcases, there was no wardrobe and the short rail provided had only two hangers. There was no easy chair where one could sit and read, also the room was too hot and the thermostatic valves on the radiators did not work. We were booked and paid for three nights, but left after only two. Sadly we are very unlikely to return.

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.

Unpretentious but fully functional room with fantastic shower (room 4) but noisy as nearby church bell rang every hour throughout the night. The restaurant was good despite a limited choice menu, the breakfast was excellent but the service a bit inattentive. Plenty of parking. Overall, good VFM and a good base for the nearby Heritage Coast.

Seeing is believing

On the outside the hotel looks nice, but how looks can be deceiving. Went upstairs to the room, the room door was filthy. Got inside and from a distance everything looked ok. The bed was lopsided and lumpy, the bathroom was a whole new level of dirty. Mould around all the shower tray the overhead rainfall shower didnt work. The water took nearly 15mins to warm up and it was barely a drizzle. All mould around the windows cobwebs everywhere. This was supposedly a regal suite????? Just glad it came out of my business pocket and not my own.

Stunning 16 century building with gorgeous stone cottages that actually look like the pictures online! Angelina at reception was fantastic and the restaurant was excellent. Just duck as you walk round and through the doorways as the Elizabethans were much shorter!
Gorgeous stone buildings built in 1588 but very nicely appointed inside.

Interesting building but some communal areas scruffy and need to be decorated. We had room 8, good size, plenty of space for clothes, and spotless. Bathroom looks stylish but not practical - mirror over washbasin positioned for someone taller than 5ft 2in (my height) all I could see was my forehead!! Getting in and out of the bath to use the shower was risky - nothing to hold onto and no bath mat (how does that comply with Health & Safety?) Two of the windows were at the side of the building above the noisy air-conditioning unit, we had to keep the windows open all night due to hot weather. Breakfast both days ok but noticed other guests who ordered cooked food left most of it. Not enough staff for the number of overnight guests but they were pleasant and helpful.

A beautiful old (16th Century) building about 2 miles from Bridgend and close to Ogmore by Sea (visit highly recommended). We were lucky to visit on a sunny day and to take advantage of the garden while having a drink (cocktails very good!) and snack for lunch. We were very warmly welcomed at Reception and loved our large room. Very good value for money - to stay at a character property. There's a bus stop opposite which was really helpful as we were expecting to walk the 2 miles to a train station to go to Cardiff.A real unexpected bonus was how beautiful the nearby coastal area was.
