Pale Hotels

"If you don’t want to stay up till early hours of the morning, best to book somewhere else. We paid a high amount for the room to find we was above the bar with music playing till early hours of the morning."

"Clean room, comfortable bed, easy self check-in and a kettle and tea /coffee were appreciated. The room was small (don’t bring too much luggage) and the shower head bracket was broken but for what I paid I was very happy with the value and standard of the room."

"Very clean room and comfortable bed with good staff and more than adequate parking if you arrive later in day."

"Really clean, beautiful setting and friendly staff. The food was good too. The only reason for dropping a star was the pool facilities. They felt a little tired and in need of some proper maintenance. The lockers and changing areas were quite ropey – with outdoor shoes effectively allowed right up to poolside. There’s only one shower in each changing room, and in the ladies there’s just a single private changing space sectioned off with a shower curtain. What impacted our stay most was that the pool is only accessible via an outdoor route. On both visits we had to run back across the car park in wet swimsuits to return to our room to shower and change. It also meant we didn’t make use of the pool after checkout. Checkout was 10:30am but pool access was available until lunchtime, which would have been lovely in theory. However, as a family of four staying one night, the bedroom facilities were so good that we just couldn’t justify showering and getting ready in the gym changing rooms."

"Unfortunately if you book a room through anyone other than the hotel then the spa facilities cost extra and the availability of the sessions in the spa are limited to 12 people at a time and are usually booked days in advance. To be charged extra for the spa after booking into a hotel advertised as hotel and spa, I was quite shocked. They will also charge extra for a towel and significantly extra for a robe. The rooms aren’t services unless requested, which we didn’t read until our second evening after wondering why the room hadn’t been serviced. If you wanted extra coffee and tea, it is an additional £5 per tray… the rooms are cramped in tightly and there is no telephone in the room so if you have any queries, then you have to walk a long way to find help. Such a shame as the location was great and the lady on the reception was very friendly but it is way too expensive for what you get here, I would advise to look elsewhere. "

"Dingy, not like the pictures. We booked somewhere else "

"Clean, comfortable, attractive, great setting, friendly staff"

"Superb period accomodation. Faultless service. Exceptional food. Fascinating art works in the garden walks. Treat yourself to a chauffeur driven Rolls Royce tour of North Wales"

"I gave the 2 stars for the staff who were all lovely, however the room was poor. I can accept faded elegance but a mouldy dirty shower is not acceptable. Also the breakfast was poor, hot plate food of dubious quality and powdered orange juice? Wouldn’t be acceptable in a weatherspoons and you are not charging weatherspoon prices. "
