Celtic Manor Resort

Celtic Manor Resort

8/10 Good
"We had a wonderful stay here and our children really enjoyed it too. The breakfast was excellent, the only thing we didn't enjoy so much was the food at The Grill. The quality of the children's meals meat didn't seem great, the hot dog was like one from a tin and the burger meat didn't seem great either, which you'd expect the quality to be better for the price you pay. The adult wagu beef burger was fine,but the meal was nothing special (£26 each). Also parking is expensive, I thought it would've been inclusive of staying over night (£13.50 for 24 hours in the outdoor carpark the cheapest) Other than this everything was perfect"

8/10 Good
"We stayed at the Manor house and it was a mixed bag for us. I’d definitely stay again but there were things they could do better. For me, the price of the parking is alarming. £25 pounds for the night when you have paid collectively 300 quid for a room and a meal for 2 for one night…. That’s bad. Parking should be free. Secondly help with bags in the Manor House would be good as there is a large stair case to carry them up. Thirdly, some breakfast staff in the olive tree and not up to the job, and they didn’t keep on top of the buffet. Focus should be on filling the buffet before clearing tables if there are already free tables for guests. We went to Pad restaurant which was ok, nice ombience but nothing special with the food. The squid was tough. While out waiter was delightful because asked flat out when requesting the bill if we want to tip or not is not on. Minor adjustments needed. Also the coffee cup I left in reception 4pm Saturday was still there at 11am Sunday."

"Beautiful hotel, excellent breakfast. Would have given five stars if there had not have been an issue where I was charged £56 parking for my one night stay, I questioned my bill to be told it’s a parking charge. I then asked how long do I get to stay, another lady said the charge was £17 and I was getting a refund. I was refunded the money with no apology just a mumbling about commission!"
