Valle Crucis Abbey

The property is superb and the place was spotless surrounded by beautiful countryside. The only issue was the breakfast, obviously there were no staff to serve at breakfast so it was a bit every man for himself, the food and drink is all laid out the night before so first up is best dressed. By the time we got down, 9.00 am there was no fruit or yoghurt left and a tiny bit of butter to go with the stale bread and pastries. I think a lot of people are basically pigs at a buffet and very rarely think of other people. Couldn’t fault the hotel but maybe a different way of serving up breakfast.

Amazing location. Staff could not have been more helpful. Travel with a friend and our children, amazing to have the four double beds in one room, felt like a sleepover. Provides good games as well, played cluedo and game of life. Went to duke street market round the corner for tea as the recommended it, did not disappoint. Getting access to the property and communication was excellent.
