Elan Valley

Good experience, only issue was that the room was too hot as radiators stayed on even though on off position but otherwise good location.

Fabulous for a brief overnight stay to break our long journey from the South West to the North East. The facilities looked fantastic but sadly didn’t get chance to make full use of these as it was a flying visit for us. Will definitely stay again and hopefully get chance to enjoy the dining and spa experience next time. Good convenient access from M42, the grounds around the hotel were very pretty, the room was spacious and comfortable. Easy parking, pleasant, helpful staff. Everything was perfect for me, the only negative was that my daughter and her toddler prefer a bath, so they were disappointed that it was only a shower.

First of all... I fell in love with the area. Just what you need if you want to relax, recharge and get back in touch with nature. The majestic Main Hall where we've stayed in room 17 was nothing but impressive - the history of the place told through the little frame resting on a heavely ornate mantle, the stained glass adoring the window with each pane giving you a time lime of the ownership and life events happening there. The room was spacious, inviting, and had kept many features of it's original character, the bathroom was very good size, and beside the door that needs some attention was lovely - allowing for bath and a walk-in wet area. Unfortunately we had no hot water on the evening (we realised it on our return around midnight and decided to wait until morning). No hot water in the morning either. The issue it has appeared to have been a simple one - resetting the boiler in the building and albeit sorted while we had our breakfast, did dampen our experience. The evening meal for us worked well. Our food arrived in reasonable time whilst the bar was quite speedy. The surrounding area is peaceful and so pretty... The woodland, the lake, the fields, the chapel, a small cemetery, everything offers you that chance to reconnect with nature and slow-down. We were meant to have stayed for 1 night, however we've booked another day on the spot. Under new management and new staff, meal time was tricky and many guest were disappointed with waiting times. For us worked well.
