Caerleon Arts Centre

Stayed for 3 nights. Parking at the rear always available, From 'check in' onwards the staff were pleasant, helpful and professional, including carrying our bags to the first floor room. The double room was quite spacious, with it's own short 'hall' to the bath/shower room and door to the main hotel landing, so you enter into a short hall and not straight into the bedroom, nice touch. The room was clean, nicely set out, comfortable and well equipped. The only downside to the room was creaky floorboards from the room above which we got used to quickly, others might not. We stayed during a heatwave and needed to sleep with windows open making traffic noise very obvious but not much anyone can do about that. Overall we we enjoyed our stay and everything worked well for us. The owners are just lovely. Nothing was too much trouble and we wish them well as they develop the Cornerhouse.

The Lamphey Hall is okay and to be honest for the price we paid it was fine, Rooms are spacious but the maintenance is a little bit to be desired, evidence of leak damage in a couple of areas, plug missing from sink and wrong plug for bath. Cleanliness was average ie linen clean but under the bed hadn't seen a hoover for a long time. Quite a heavy damp smell when you enter the front door. No hospitality trays in the rooms, but really should have a kettle and at least some mugs or glasses so you can at least make or have a drink in your own room. Breakfast was ok, again for the price we paid it was okay, problems with the coffee machine only seemed to highlight the need for kettles in the rooms. Staff very helpful and polite. Overall it was Okay.
