Worst temperature and cooked breakfast
Reviewed By foodiegirl001Awful food, nothing was properly grilled neither fried. Tomatoes were just warm not grilled, sausages and bacons weren’t done at all, Total waste of money. And the temperature was horribly and no fan working neither good ventilation.

Family stay in dog friendly hotel
Reviewed By N4930FRsamanthadMy elderly mother, myself and my labrador stayed for 2 nights in this hotel so we could visit a seriously unwell relative locally. All the staff were really friendly. The room was immaculate and more than adequate. Breakfast was reasonable quality and the staff were working hard to clear and clean tables and others were keeping the food well stocked. All this would be expected in a reasonable hotel but they took particular care to spoil my dog with a doggie goodie bag and a sneaky couple of sausages at breakfast time!! Well done team.

Not a 4 star Hotel, run by kids...
Reviewed By sunnydingoNo way this is a 4 star Hotel - 2 star at the most. The car park can hold about half a dozen vehicles and was full of dog poo, beer and and and broken beer bottles as well a building waste. The only request we made when we booked was for Vegetarian Breakfasts and this was fine on the first morning. Second morning was a weekend and when we checked in were told of later breakfasts at the weekend. On Saturday it is not and being just 5 minutes late (after normal time for a weekday) they had packed up so we didn't get anything. The rest of the mornings, no Vegetarian sausages (they could have gone to the supermarket 10 mins walk away and restocked like any 4 star hotel kitchen would). Hotel Restaurant closed for most of the Easter Holiday Weekend. Air Con not working in rooms "they don't work on that floor' was the response ! It was hot that weekend so we had to sleep with the windows open but there is a noisy nightclub nearby and it's near a railway line. No mini bar or even fridge in rooms. The problem with this hotel seems to be that is is staffed by inexperienced young staff (there is a saying that if you pay peanuts, you'll hire...). Take note whoever owns this Hotel.

Poor
Reviewed By cathycO5925ERRoom was stuffy and had a damp smell. No air conditioning. Internet intermittent. Noise from ballroom is horrendous in bedrooms. Bath very slip no anti-slip mats provided. Shower head terrible. No cleaning of rooms, despite all COVID restrictions now being lifted, this feels as though its an excuse to not employ enough cleaning staff. Breakfast not great, coffee cold, hot water cold for teas etc.

Brilliant views, itchy rooms
Reviewed By R3372RJemilypWe had a general all round good stay, views and location were spectacular! Easy to find via car and excellent bike paths in immediate proximity. We stayed in the lodges and loved the squashy armchairs, though woke the next morning with a fair few bites between us. Part of the "information sheet" states to not strip the beds and we wonder if this is for ease for the high turnover ... nothing visible bug wise in the rooms but we were all (4) feeling itchy from our nights sleep. Friend of mine had crusty something on her duvet upon check in. Otherwise comfortable beds, good locks and decent toilet / shower facilities. Would recommend for a night or two, but perhaps bring your own duvet!!
6. Afan Lodge
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 213 reviews
Mountain Bike, Cycling and Walking Hotel in the heart of the Afan Valley. Afan Lodge is designed and run by mountain bikers so we know exactly what a rider wants and needs on a weekend/holiday away; a breakfast to fuel you up for the day, riding distance to an endless choice of trails, bike wash area, a fully stocked onsite bar and a secure lock up for the 'pride and joy' so you can sleep with peace of mind before the action starts again... we have a mountain top location overlooking the Afan Valley and its famous South Wales Mountain Biking trails and welsh mountain walks. We are visited by all manner of sports people there is an abundance of wild and tarmac trails for mountain bikers and enthusiast joggers and triathletes who compete in the mountains and valleys.
Vastly Improved!
Reviewed By ciobellaFirst time since under new ownership called in while on a walk, interior of restaurant has been revamped which looks good, sat outside in the sunshine, food and drink lovely, chatted to the new waitress on her first day of working there who was very polite ! Will definitely return, one criticism if you can call it that, you need to promote this lovely venue we are local, not everyone knows about you
7. Lamb and Flag

Lacking in everything!
Reviewed By beatles1982What has happened to this place? Called in a few times lately on late Saturday afternoon . More atmosphere in a Urology Clinic! Expensive too, £6.50;for a coffee and a pint of Carling! This pub use to be buzzing but there's no one there other than young girls who have grown plump in the night looking at the scant food menu! I won't be setting foot in here again until New Landlord's are appointed, as the current one's haven't got a clue on how to bring this place back to it's former glory!

Terrible customer service
Reviewed By billyfQ697KBStayed here on the 6th May and managed about 3 hours sleep before all hell broke loose. more than 10 people gathered in the room next to me and outside in the hallway. Shouting, arguing and swearing at the top of their voices! I felt intimidated and frightened by the noise and the language. Called the reception many times and got through on 3 occasions, he did come to the noisy corridor but could not control this rowdy crowd of drunken people. They just ignored him, it was not until I threatened to call the police that the night porter gave me another room, 3 hours after the 1st call! The next morning I was told to write to the manager, Adam Bergamo, no reply as yet and no offer of a refund after not receiving what they are obligated to provide which is a safe place to sleep. If you want a quiet hotel this is definitely not the place to stay!
