What a place. Ideal location for chilling out and enjoying the view

Pros: what is there not to like is the most appropriate question to ask me in this instance. It is in a fabulous location with stunning views. the suite we had was really superb - we also saw a couple of the none suite bedrooms and they were equally gorgeous. Could not fault anything. Incredible value for money.

Cons: literally could not find fault as there was nothing to complain about.

Welcoming, special, fantastic views that will have you coming back for more!

Pros: The host made us feel welcome the minute we arrived, showed us our room and answered all our questions. The hall has so much artwork, amazing furniture and things to do and look at, and not forgetting the amazing fish tank and light fittings in the dining room! Our room was lovely, clean, lots of little extras that make the stay more special. We sat on the balcony with our coffee in the robes watching the sunrise! 😊 Our stay was great and we will definitely be back! It was also made extra special as my partner proposed to me the second day of our stay.

Cons: Nothing, we had the best long weekend away.

Pros: Stunning, tranquil location with awesome views plus beautiful, secret garden. The property is decorated to the highest standards, and Naz is an exceptional host, very warm and welcoming. The breakfasts were plentiful, with a great selection of cooked items to order, plus cereals, fruit & yoghurt. Highly recommend, the photos on the website do not do Borthwnog Hall justice. we will be returning!!

Cons: There was nothing to dislike.

Perfect Holiday

Pros: Breakfast was excellent, the view was among the best that i have seen in my travels, the room was a bit small but that is to be expected in UK. the staff was very courteous, respectful and always on top of their job and serving with a smile.
