Miskin Manor Hotel

Had booked specifically to use the spa - only to be told on check-in that had been closed since October. No mention of this previously. Also the hotel has gone into administration & it shows. No fault of the staff - who were lovely. But unless you're getting a really cheap offer here - I'd avoid.

The Grounds and House look nice, the Bar and Breakfast were good but the room was tired had damp on the walls around the window and the shower was a minuscule trickle. That said the stay was ok and the bar/lounge is a lovely room to sit!

The hotel is based in an historic manor house and is a beautiful setting. It could really do with a proper clean in places but overall it is very impressive to walk into. I booked a standard room which turned out to be a "cottage". These are a set of brick out-buildings which do afford privacy and quiet - ours was extremely cold and the heating and hot-water did not work. The reception staff were very apologetic and luckily for us there was a late cancellation in the main building so they moved us to a superior room. That room was very spacious with a 5 piece en-suite. Again, it could have done with a bit of a clean - some cobwebs and lady-bird bugs had taken up residence in the windows. Nevertheless an enjoyable and relaxing stay. I hope the new owners can rectify the few little issues as it would be a shame for the place to close.

The health club and spa were closed and we weren’t told until the day before our stay. The shower was very poor and they just said that it was due to old plumbing. The food was good but quite limited and the bar was running dry.

Was very disappointed with the state of the hotel! It was tired and cold. Upon arrival reception kept us waiting while she did some ‘filing’ we booked a four poster bedroom with bath. We were shown a normal room without bath. When I said it was the wrong room, they moved us to another room, with bath but no four poster bed. Went down for dinner, the dining room was cold dark and unwelcoming. There were buckets all over the hotel catching leaks. All in all a treat turned into a bit of a nightmare. Will not be returning

It was our Golden Wedding Anniversary, our son rang ahead to request a bottle of Prosecco for our room & our evening meal billed to him. On arrival at 14.30 we checked in and relaxed in our room with a glass of fizz or two, we went down for dinner at 18.00. Our meal, the staff and service were faultless. After our meal we purchased another bottle of Prosecco to take back to our room, 😱 shock, horror, £32.95, that ruined our evening. We had a great breakfast Sunday morning before leaving for home. Speaking to my son at home ref, the cost of Prosecco he says, "it's a lot more than that when someone else takes it to your room for you" 😡 PS. I was also charged twice and am now awaiting a refund.

On arrival we discovered the spa facilities had gone into administration and werent available. The room wS cold and dusty. Ved linen dirty. Evening meal was good but choice extremely limited. In the mornimg we went for breakfast only to be told the chef hadnt turned up and so cereL/muesli etc the only option. Offered a bottle of wine in compensation which didnt feel a satisfactory gesture.

We wanted to stay here due to location and reputation of the hotel. There are are few things that would have improved our stay - knowing that the leisure facilities are closed so the swimming pool advertised as available is not. We were not advised on booking that having a travel cot in the room would be an extra charge, the staff were accommodating on check-in on this. We also received a phone call after hours (9pm) from reception. Clean room and nice breakfast.

Loved the hotel! Very quirky and traditional! Open fire at breakfast was a real treat :) We were greeted and shown to our room by the hotel cat! So sweet!
