Porters Lodge

Porters Lodge

8/10 Good
"The place was clean and bright. However we were unprepared for the atmosphere. Nowhere in the booking process did we understand that we were staying in a religious commune. We could not find the promised shared kitchen and the walls were very thin. Everyone was friendly but we only saw one last when we arrived and one when we left. We just felt the place was a bit strange."

"The staff are friendly and nothing was too much trouble. From check in to check out we couldn't fault a thing. The breakfast is excellent and plentiful, a huge shout out to the chefs! Rooms are clean and comfortable and the hotel is in an excellent position. Parking is an issue but there are council carparks nearby. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can highly recommend this hotel and would definately stay again."

"On the whole the food was good although there could have been more of a choice for the breakfast buffet eg. cheeses, nuts etc There was no choice of bedding and we found the thick quilt too warm for the time of year. The staff were polite and helpful. The view from the terrace and lounge was lovely"

"I made a last minute booking whilst on a bike tour through mid Wales. There are no rooms on the ground floor so the staff were really helpful to store my bike in a secure place as my room was on the second floor. The restaurant was closed by the time managed to shower and get myself sorted at 8.50pm, none the less there is a local Turkish place were I managed to have a delicious healthy meal to fuel me the next day. The hot breakfast at the hotel was very good."
