10.0

We had a lovely stay at the Rhydspence and only wish we could have stayed longer. The room was spotlessly clean, stylishly decorated, and the bed was extremely comfortable, making for a great night’s sleep. The staff were all friendly, welcoming, and very helpful throughout our stay. Breakfast was delicious, with an excellent choice of high-quality produce, and was the perfect start to the day. A special mention has to go to Horace the poodle, who completely stole my heart! He was such a lovely addition and made our stay even more memorable. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and would highly recommend it.

Rural setting just off main road. Owners working hard to rejuvenate this ancient manor ? house . Very friendly staff, interesting range of food on the menu.Easy parking.

It suited us for a one night stay.

8.0

A quaint place, lots of character. Nothing generic about it! A few very nice touches like different types of tea available. You can tell the owners are trying to provide a good experience. Amazing display of swifts flying right outside our window on a summers evening.

The less than ideal things were unavoidable. The road that is great for access is also a bit noisy.
