7/10 Good! (209 reviews)
The grounds of the Mae’s Manor are beautiful. The staff were friendly. The hotel itself is very dated and in need of new paint and furniture. Our shower had no pressure and some mold. The towels and sheets were nice and clean though.

Lovely stay. Room was beautiful and staff were very welcoming. Arpit at the Spa was very helpful by giving us a tour on the first day and remembering that my son couldn’t swim and provided him with floats. Thankyou

9.2/10 Wonderful! (680 reviews)
This place is only good, certainly not excellent, because its location is very good( easy access to Cardiff, Bute Park and stadiums), it is very clean and the breakfasts are excellent. However, the room and the ensuite were disappointingly small,especially for the price! Also, with the exception of the lovely breakfast girls, there was little warmth in the welcome at the main reception desk.Certainly, the least welcoming place we have stayed in for a while!

Nice room and lovely breakfast. Very accommodating for gluten free and vast assortment of choices.
