Bryn Meadows Golf, Hotel & Spa (Bargoed, United Kingdom)

Guests have generally found the staff at Bryn Meadows to be a cut above, providing excellent and friendly service.

Whether you will be looking out from your room, or the restaurant, the views out over the grounds and across the Bryn Meadows golf course are a treat. Even better? Taking your clubs out for a spin on the tight and tricky course itself.

The spa facilities on offer have received the thumbs-up from guests, who effused over the day treatments and relaxing facilities on offer.

A decent number of people unfortunately found the food to be of a poorer standard than expected, with breakfast sometimes less-than-hot and the restaurant understaffed, leading to slow service.

Certain things in the rooms, such as TVs and lamps, have sometimes malfunctioned, while a handful of guests found the rooms could use a bit of a revamp. That said, they are reputed to be comfortable and clean.

Given the quality of the food, some issues with the rooms and generally high drink prices, a small number of guests considered the hotel prices to be too steep for what is on offer.
