Maenan Abbey Hotel

We were greeted and treated like long lost family during our stay. The gentleman that settled us in (sorry I don't remember his name) and Karen the next morning were extraordinarily kind and attentive.

Our prime discomfort was of our own making (too much luggage) but as our room was up at the top of the building it meant climbing a lot of stairs with bags. However the wallpaper in the room we were assigned does need to be refreshed, some was starting to release from the wall.

Everything from start to finidh

Nothing

Excellent, best ever, breakfast. Very good evening meal. Waitress was very friendly and chatty. Such an iconic building with such history and unique decor.

Ok, so the wallpaper is in need of a bit of TLC but only adds to the charm

Lovely old Abbey and looked like the place was refurbished in the 70s and like stepping back in time. It was comfortable clean and welcoming and I can’t wait to go back. Didn’t have a evening meal but the breakfast was delicious and plentiful.

Can’t think of anything.

The building is unique and the location stunning. The staff were extremely helpful - especially the lady in charge of breakfasts who was not only efficient but friendly and helpful.

Unfortunately there was a lot to be disappointed in. I dislike leaving negative reviews but would not want others to spend significant amounts of money on a decidedly sub optimal experience - especially when it turns out there are much better and competitively priced options nearby. The building is not properly maintained with many areas either not particularly clean or actually dirty. The bathrooms in particular need thorough refurbishments - ours had a revolting floor and cracked mirrors with an old shower enclosure. similar stories were true of the other rooms used by others in our party. The standard of even recent decoration was very poor. Basically the hotel is under invested in both in terms of the fabric of the building and the number of staff needed to run it.
