We got married at Llanerch and it was the best decision we ever made! The level of service you get with Llanerch is second to none. …

The Sunday lunch was excellent on our first visit in a while. Service was very good and the roast lamb main course was outstanding. The only complaint we had was the very small half a slice of bread with the £10 bowl of soup! Was expecting more for that price.

Our daughters gave us a present which included overnight stay, dinner, breakfast and vineyard tour. We arrived to find that we were the only booking on the midday vineyard tour but it was excellent. …

Excellent excellent venue. I went here on a voucher with my wife as a wedding gift. I was initially dubious about the venue but on arrival I was blown away at the standard of their rooms and the restaurant. Which was excellent. My wife and I enjoyed a meal there which is akin to the highest standard steakhouses around Cardiff. The Bill was more than reasonable!Only thing that's missing from this place is a Spa area. Nothing massive. But it's clearly missing. Hence the 4 star rather than 5 star.

Amazing wine - beer and rooms. Incredible.Terrible and over priced breakfast. They sold it well to me saying it’ll be 15 if I book in advance or 25 the morning of.Breakfast 1 was a full English and typical cheap hotel ingredients or just horribly over cooked. Disappointing for a well established hotel as this.Second breakfast was avocado toast. No seasoning, one bit of bread, two eggs (due to request)At least salt, pepper, maybe some lemon?Everything was amazing but the breakfast was awful.Amazing parking - amazing rooms - amazing atmosphere in the evenings in the bar. I didn’t have the opportunity to have dinner there unfortunately but if it was anything like the breakfast I wasn’t missing out.

This is the third time I have popped into book a table and not booked due to unhelpful staff. I wanted to book for people who are partially deaf so wanted a quieter corner. I understand that it is an open restaurant but having a table in a corner is very different to being in the middle when you have hearing loss. I was told THREE times quite dismissively that “it’s a Saturday and it is busy, everywhere is busy on a Saturday!” I didn’t ask for a non busy restaurant, I simply asked for a corner table which would be quieter. A little understanding, a smile and support would have been lovely. Llanerch please train your staff in customer service skills and knowledge of disabilities!
