Bryn Meadows Golf, Hotel & Spa

We've visited Bryn Meadows spa a number of times of the years but it has unfortunately steadily gone downhill. The restaurant food is bland and with very little choice (who wants a full Sunday roast before a spa afternoon?!). With only one hour allocated for lunch before your treatment the experience feels rush and everyday rather than relaxing and special.

Staff were friendly and helpful on arrival. Our Spa booked for a friend's birthday which was use of pool, hydro pool, steam room, Jacuzzi. Then lunch. Unfortunately as we entered the pool we had to get out due to there being an aerobic session. So after 20 minutes or so we were then able to use the pool, one of the sauna rooms were not working. After our relaxing swim we were booked for the mud Rasul which was amazing and our skin felt so clean and soft after. The swimwear rinse machine was out of order, shame as this is very useful. Onto lunch, didn't find much choice on the spa leaflet which was included in the price but got a discount off main meal price so just had to pay the rest. Unfortunately I did not enjoy my meal at all which was a chicken & bacon bun with chips. The chicken did not taste good at all and looked very dry, as waitress was collecting the dishes we were asked if we enjoyed our meals (there were 4 of us) but only mine was not nice and waitress did apologize. But apart from that we would go back.

We have visited Bryn meadows 3 times previously a few years back and always had a pleasant experience. Our experience this time unfortunately wasn’t as good as we remember. The positives of our experience were the views, overall food and overall spa experience. The negatives were the cleanliness of the whole hotel, staff, room decor. We really enjoyed our meals, considering the amount of poor food reviews the blas restaurant has, our food was extremely tasty. We also really enjoyed our breakfast experience. Lovely calm atmosphere and plenty of continental options. The breakfast itself wasn’t the best breakfast we’ve had, but we still enjoyed. The pool area wasn’t as clean as we would like, some tiles being broken. But we still did enjoy our time spent in the jacuzzi and in the sauna room/steam room. The spa treatments were ok. The rooms are far from modern, and are in desperate need of updating. Old dusty chipped furniture, cracked sink and bath, mouldy tiles and bath mat. But despite this, we both had an incredible sleep, very quiet and peaceful, and very comfortable fresh bed. My rating of 3/5 for my stay at Bryn Meadows isn’t due to the food, spa or rooms, but unfortunately due to the staff members. Not one single member of staff made us feel very welcome. ‘Hi how are you today?’ ‘Have a nice day/evening’ ’Good Morning’ ‘I hope you enjoy your stay with us’ , would really have improved our stay. It felt like the staff were just trying to get their job done and go home, none of them seemed interested in us as guests.

From beginning to end, we had such a fantastic stay and experience. Service was outstanding. Golf activities are available but didn't interfere with our overnight stay. There was a wedding in the marquee also didn't interfere with our overnight stay either. Facilities were all included, and there no need to book them in. We were really happy with this. The food was amazing, both evening meal and breakfast too. Will definitely return soon and will definitely recommend it to others. Many thanks.

We were here for a wedding in the Fairway suite, lovely venue, plenty of room, staff were good the place was in a great location, my only gripes were that it didn't take long for the toilets to become messy and they weren't checked or cleaned all evening and the bar was way to small to cope with the amount of guests, other than that we had a great time.

Very over priced we stayed in 2 different rooms both were shabby. Walls were marked, tiles in bathroom missing, grout was black, taps not secure, furniture marked. Beds not made up for kids, beer cans left outside our door, poo left in toilet. We were given 2 towels for a family of 4 and were told they were running low, asked for water we were told they had run out the next day we asked again we were given 2 small bottles and was told that we could not have anymore. Some of the staff were very rude (not all). My daughter cut her foot in the pool on a broken tile. Breakfast was decent and the grounds look well kept but rooms are not up to scratch I would expect more from a travel lodge.
