Always a lovely experience

I travel to Llantrisant regularly for work and staying at The Vale is always a highly pleasant experience. The food is good, the rooms are reasonable and the gym facilities a huge bonus.

Fab.

This is a great place to stay. Lovely spacious rooms, great wifi, wonderful bathrooms and great views. But .... I'm sorry to be slightly negative but the curtains could do with being able to close properly for privacy. That is literally my only gripe. I can't speak about breakfast as I always leave too early. But I do like this hotel, my next-door neighbour (Clive Griffiths) put me onto this as he played rugby for Wales and always rated this hotel. I look forward to returning.

I wasn't anticipating how big the hotel was! It was a lovely stay facilities were nice, staff were absolutely lovely and a massive free parking. Evening food was delicious. One thing that could be improved was breakfast.

Hotel is set on a 650 acre plot with beautiful scenery hensol lake amd hensol castle and golf course. The hotel is clean and staff were friendly and accommodating. I had to move from my initial room as it was not up to a standard youd expect from a hotel of this calibre. The rooms are abot dated and could definitely do with a refresh and upgrade
