Reviews
Good points:
Staff excellent, helpful polite and friendly
Fabulous location with stunning views and lovely gardens
Common areas and public rooms very attractive (apart from dining room which was a bit dreary)
Food - breakfast and evening meal to a very high standard, quite expensive but still reasonable value for money.
Less good points:
bedroom was a long way short of a 4/5 star hotel standard. Poorly appointed and in need of maintenance (chipped woodwork and extensive mould around shower tray). More like a so so B&B than top end hotel.
First things first.... Every single member of staff at Chateau Rhianfa were absolutely amazing which is why I want to leave this review.
I would highly recommend this venue for a wedding. Not only it is beautiful inside and out, in the most gorgeous location, and the package and prices are very reasonable.
We viewed this venue just 12 months before our actual wedding date and Elin was able to find us a variety of dates. We opted for a small and intimate guest list. The package and prices were great and we booked there and then on the day.
I got very emotional walking around and seeing all of the beautiful rooms and outside areas. It ticked all of our boxes where our family could stay, relax and just enjoy the celebrations.
Elin was a huge help in the lead up to be day, kept in regular contact, provided lots of help and guidance including recommended suppliers in the area and a handy to do list.
When we arrived, Elin and the rest of the staff were on hand in every way possible to help us enjoy our special day. There was absolutely nothing that they wouldn't or couldn't do, the service was 10/10.
The accommodation and rooms were lovely and the views... Wow!
Food was lovely, everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal and the nibbles we served in the evening.
Overall I would highly recommend this wedding venue, you will have the most magical day ✨
An amazing castle hotel. Incredible architecture inside and out. Beautiful grounds alongside the Menai straight. Our room was gorgeous. Breakfast was wonderful. The sitting rooms including the music room, were just enchanting. Staff was super warm and helpful, especially the front desk girl and the very young bartender. lol Parking can be a challenge, but is well worth it. Definitely would return for a longer stay.
This us an absolutely unique and beautiful old building. Loved all the rooms except the bedroom. I felt that although the owners have to maintain the esthetic look the bedrooms need updating and some new furniture not necessarily modern but furniture that maintains the look. The wardrobe was broken and all the other pieces looked really worn. The bathroom was very unusual with 3 great showers but there was nowhere to put toiletries except a small glass shelf. However, towels, soaps and bedding were very good. We did enjoy our stay here, the location, views and gardens were really spectacular. Breakfast was very good if you were down early, the cooked breakfast was excellent. Dinner in the evening was good but expensive. Staff were extremely helpful with great service. I would recommend this lovely hotel as long as you don't expect too much from the bedrooms.
Just want to be completely honest and hope that the management read this because it's important to give constructive feedback.
As a family we stayed in the Coach House. First impressions were good although the severe lack of parking was a problem, when you consider we were paying in excess of £430/night!
The good points...Beds were comfortable and views from the main 'King' bedroom were spectacular, aside from the scaffolding.
The bad points...Ridiculous wardrobes, basically a rail with a few broken hangers, looks like they were salvaged from a local tip! Really poor kitchen facilities, the lower oven didn't appear to work, there was a lack of a dishwasher and the washing machine was utterly disgustingly filthy, the dryer simply failed to dry anything. In the main bedroom en-suite, the shower was coming away from the wall and the toilet-roll dispenser was hanging on by a thread. The lounge had a beautiful baby grand piano (one of the reasons we chose the six berth option over the four berth) but it was totally defunct, many keys didn't work and very out of tune, disappointing. The sofas in the lounge were very tired, seated and very uncomfortable. The whole place was filled with random, shabby-chic furniture which served no purpose and appeared to be an after thought. The breakfast was hit and miss, sometimes you got bacon, other times not, there was no sourdough to toast and the continental 'breakfast' was very limited to chopped melon, yoghurt and tiny pastries, no continental cheeses or cured meats. The attention to the breakfast service was also lacking, we had to wait on several occasions for glasses, bread and pastries to be replenished. Finally, the Tea they serve is basic Tetley Tea...seriously!!! Yet they offer L'Occitane bathroom amentiies, go figure??
Overall, I would not recommend this hotel, the website makes it look amazing, but it is simply mutton dressed as lamb. Having stayed for six nights, paying over £2.6K, I was very disappointed. The staff we met were great but this review is for the management.
