Miskin Manor Hotel

Our stay at Miskin Manor Hotel had its ups and downs. The reception staff were friendly and efficient, and the room itself was fabulous and impeccably clean. Unfortunately, the restaurant and food were disappointing. Two elements from the menu were unavailable, and we weren’t informed beforehand. While the junior staff were polite and cheerful, their service wasn’t flawless—they forgot to take our drink orders. The prawn cocktail was underwhelming, looking rather cheap and lacking sauce, which we had to request. The bread served with it was also not buttered. The meatball pasta dish left much to be desired. The linguine was slightly overcooked, and the tomato sauce felt disconnected from the rest of the dish, as if it had been added as an afterthought. Oregano was not a suitable choice here, and the meatballs should have been cooked in the sauce to allow for maximum flavor. Lastly, while we admire the artistic talent of the owner, we found the overwhelming display of framed paintings depicting human faces a bit unsettling. It was unnerving to be surrounded by so many additional eyes in the space. While the paintings were well-done and detailed, there were simply too many in one room. For such an iconic hotel, we also expected more character in the restaurant—paper towels and low-quality food didn’t quite fit the setting. Breakfast also needs improvement. Toasters not working, no scrambled eggs, coffee cold.

We spent two nights in this Hotel but wished we could stayed longer. Lovely house and friendly staff. Its a very quirky hotel with a minstrels gallery and dates back to the 10th century. We stayed in a four poster bedroom which was spacious and comfortable.

A Victorian country house hotel in lovely grounds within easy reach of Cardiff. Friendly and helpful staff, huge ensuite rooms with comfy beds. This hotel is currently seeking a new owner so offering really good deals to keep the staff in work. Breakfast is excellent ...dinner menu is a sensible range of choice. We had a very comfortable stay and would come again.

Had a really lovely 2 night break here using a Travelzoo voucher. Whilst needing money spent to upgrade areas, i felt privileged to stay in such a wonderful place. The building is gorgeous and we also enjoyed exploring the garden. The evening meal was good and the breakfasts even better. Staff were all friendly, a special 'shout-out' to Trudy who went out of way to be exceptionally helpful. I would definitely book again if I see another offer.

Room was big and grounds were lovely is the only positive o have. The whole hotel could do with a overall looks like not been decorated for 50 years. There is a nice cosy bar and the barmaid was lovely. We had food it was very well presented taste was quite bland we had had food earlier at a pub up the an the presentation not as good but tasted alit better, the setting in the dinning room reminded me of a school canteen or a cafe. The wife found the hotel cold and when to reception to say we couldn't get radiator working to be told the hotel are not using heating at the moment it still summer. Shower was not very hot

Lovely staff, very friendly . Spacious room,, but very tired looking. Damp issues around the windows. It’s also a shame we had no view. Building has so much potential but really needs upgrading., carpets could do with a good clean. beautifully decorate and comfortable bar area. Breakfast was good something for everybody.

Second visit here and second review, still great value for money. Large room and bathroom both very clean, shower pressure could be stronger. Food good for evening and breakfast. Only reason I only marked 4 rather than 5 was that our room overlooked the extractor fans and the were very noisy unless you had window closed, but having said that we were offered two other rooms when we asked about a change, but preferred the actual room we given, just had to keep window closed, but fair play to the staff that offered us a change. Excellent. Will definitely be back if they still have same offers.

An outstanding venue for a weekend break or special occasion. Fantastic locatioon close to Cardiff, surrounded by beautiful countryside and gardens, comfortable spacious rooms, delicious food, friendly staff and unbelievable value.
