Stoke Trister Holidays

Only there one night but had a great stay, room was quiet and comfortable, good temperature and the staff were lovely.

Really friendly reception staff. Easy stay. You have to pay for parking.

Gorgeous hotel in a beautiful setting. Very helpful and friendly staff and a great atmosphere overall.

My second stay at Celtic Manor (Manor House). We booked a second time (after about two years) because the cooked breakfast was the best I remember having. Unfortunately, the manor house breakfasts are now served in the main hotel and are buffet breakfast instead of cooked to order. While it is still ok, it is nothing compared to what it used to be. I found the room to be a bit tired, with frayed carpet, busted hinge on a cupboard door etc, but very clean. It is easy to get lost in the hotel, but it is kinda fun to explore - even if it feels like a big empty hotel in North Korea at times. Staff are mostly very helpful, but there were a few instances where I felt a member of staff couldn't be bothered - but not a big enough deal to go into any detail. Swimming pool is very nice, and the amenities are great. Hotel does get very busy, but it's worth a stay. Oh, £13.50 for overnight parking is quite steep - particularly as it's pay on exit, so if you nip out for any reason you have to pay afresh when you get back rather than parking on the existing ticket, so if you nip out a few times in a day it could get expensive.
