"A wonderful anniversary escape at The Vale Resort ❤️
We had such a lovely stay at The Vale Resort celebrating our wedding anniversary and it turned out to be even more special than we expected!
I originally booked one night through their autumn offer, which included dinner (so sign up to their newsletter!). However, having enjoyed the idea of staying a little longer, I decided to book an additional night in a room with a balcony - great rate through the travel business. Despite the hotel being fully booked, the team very kindly accommodated us and linked both reservations together. A small gesture, but one that made everything so seamless.
And then came the unexpected surprise… fireworks on Saturday evening! We received a message about the slightly later dinner sitting (7 pm moved to 8.30 pm), followed by another announcing… the fireworks. Well, what a lovely way to celebrate our anniversary! 🥂🎆 Thank you!
The whole experience was wonderful. We have visited The Vale and Hensol Castle before for an event, but it was lovely to come back and enjoy a more relaxed stay.
We started with rest, then cocktails, enjoyed a visit to the gin bar (where they produce their own gin) and spent a beautiful autumn afternoon outdoors. A walk by the lake, champagne in hand, sunshine filtering through the golden autumn leaves… honestly, one of those moments you wish you could bottle up.
The room was lovely. The balcony was a real bonus plus flowers from my husband and a bottle from hotel."
