Overall we had a good experience staying at this hotel. The price was bit expensive for a one night stay. The water flow from the wash basin as the shower was splashing. Other than this everything else was very good. Thank you.

We have stayed at the Trecarn several times. The staff are always very polite and helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable. Paying extra for the executive room this time was more than worth it. It is what we will be doing in future. The only minor criticism is that the Wi-Fi reception in the room is virtually none existent, which combined with the poor cell reception in the area meant you had to go near reception if you needed to use your phone. If not for this minor inconvenience it would have been 5 stars instead of 4 stars.

Clean enough room, but very very tired. Shower was dirty and distinct lack or pressure but hotel was fine enough for what I needed. Breakfast wasn’t great - I’d not bother and go somewhere else. £12 for a breakfast that is a 2/10 at best is overpriced. Bar closes at 11pm apart from a Saturday where it was shut by 10.
