Coldra Court Hotel by Celtic Manor

Swimming pool still not open,did receive notice that it wasn’t going to be though.

We loved our room, the staff were really friendly and helpful. The rib restaurant was good, the lobby was well seated and the cocktails were also good.

Apart from the lack of sheer curtains on the bedroom windows the room itself was beautiful but we could see directly into other people's rooms as they could ours. The lack of control over children running riot around the reception area, trying to play the piano was very annoying when guests were trying to enjoy a drink and chill after a long journey to get there. One last thing maybe bring your check in time forward by a couple of hours.

Staff were very friendly, and the breakfast buffet was very good although as we only had cereal and juice the £18 per head was not personally good value.

Firstly it is dishonest to advertise a price for a hotel and exclude the fact that one must pay an additional £13.50 for parking. The bed was very uncomfortable, mattress felt like cardboard and the duvet was too thin. Single wall heater was inadequate and should have had accompanying instructions for use, in fact there were no instructions nor information pack. Bottom of bathroom door was gnarled. The restaurant was ok but as it is a Smokehouse and Grill the menu is very specific and therefore limited.
