Awful, awful, awful. Whilst waiting for our table we found 2 empty tins of cat food under the sofa in the bar , pointed this out to a member of staff who removed them but seemed non plussed !!!, food v poor , meat tough , pudding tasteless, overpriced, service dreadful. Just wish i had read all the terrible reviews prior to booking, avoid this hotel to eat at all costs, don't know how they stay in business.

Nice location. Nice enough hotel, fairly budget. Rooms horrendous and overpriced. Bed was uncomfortable. Bright lights from outside shining into room all night. Wedding party music blaring. Bathroom probably up there with worst I've stayed in. £170 is a strong price for that experience. Breakfast over the road was nice. Wouldn't stay again. Cowbridge itself is a nice pleasant place to visit. Rooms: 1

Fantastic Sunday lunch....good produce ... excellent service...Helen (reception) was really helpful. Service: 5 Location: 5

Come on Google. We visited for a meal, not a stay. Split the survey. Food drinks: Sunday lunch. I enjoyed it greatly. Created with care and flair. My stepson, one of our group, (a chef) would have done it differently, of course! He, more or less, approved. The service was performed so well. No hesitation in returning.
