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

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.

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.

Booked in 30th Aug - 2 Sept 22. (Room 226) On arrival was met by young man who was brilliant, explained everything and had a good laugh. The rest of the staff were of the same ilk, friendly and very helpful. Went into the room and first impressions were ok. The bed is a standard double. not good when you have a bed hogging wife. The sheets were clean and fresh and although small the bed was comfortable. They could do with putting plug sockets on both sides of the bed. Its a small bed so wouldn't need too much cabling. The bath is ok if you are a size 0, however, any larger, forget it. I couldn't get my lardy **** into it. But on the plus side, it was clean and tidy. Issues with the bathroom, Went I went for a tinkle in the middle of the night, I burnt my retinas out because the lights are super bright, not what you need at 0200hrs. maybe a night light or mirror light could be installed. A little more attention to the carpets would have been nice, found some shirt buttons that had been missed (previous occupant must have got lucky) because they were in different areas of the room. Breakfast, We went twice, first day at 0900hrs, it was ok, little on the cold side, went again on last day at 0800hrs and it was perfect. Tasty and hot. My biggest issue is the heat. the room was a sauna, I must have lost at least a stone. the fan given in the room is as much use as a chocolate fire guard. I hardly slept the three nights we were there as it was way too hot. even, the wife (who practically sits on a radiator) struggled. Wasn't the best hotel I've stayed in, but certainly not the worst . Over all 7.5/10

I stayed here Friday night as I was attending a wedding. There was limited accommodation available in Cardiff city centre due to a few events being on and all the hotels I usually stay at were either fully booked or had tripled in price so I stayed here. I arrived at just gone 4 to drop my case off and freshen up as it was 35°! I was greeted by a lovely lady and directed to my room on the second floor. Yes the hotel isn't suitable for those with mobility issues, but this is clearly stated on sites as there is no lift. My room, linen and towels were spotlessly clean. Plenty of tea and coffee supplied and 2 bottles of water which was welcome because of the heat. There was also a fan in the room which you don't get in many hotels and again very welcome. I went to the reception returning at 1am and greeted by the night Watchman, another lovely member of staff who asked if I'd enjoyed the wedding and let me in a few time after while I popped out for cigarettes and chatted. I usually book a double room but none were available but the beds were 3/4 so plenty of room. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and I had a good night's sleep until 7am. I was woken by the property next door making an awful lot of noise for half an hour. Not the hotels fault and I believe they supply ear plugs if you ask, as I was at the back I didn't ask. After a lovely shower I packed up and went to check out. Check out, like check in was speedy with the same lovely lady who asked how the wedding had been. Left my bags there while I went shopping and picked them up a couple of hours later. I had a phone call after that as I'd left my spare phone in the room. Unfortunately I was on the way home but she arranged for my cousin to pick it up. I will definitely stay again. Cheaper than my usual hotels and just as close to the shops and pubs.
