Guests say

The Lloyd George is a spacious and charming cottage with excellent en suite bedrooms, a lift, and a games room. It is well-regarded for its grandeur, communal spaces, and accessibility features. While some guests experienced issues with amenities and maintenance, the property's overall value and the responsiveness of the property manager were appreciated.

Reviews indicate that bedrooms are spotless, but there are concerns about the kitchen's cleanliness, with reports of it being dirty upon arrival and issues with bins. The property seems to be well-maintained in some areas but lacking in others.

There is insufficient information in the reviews to accurately assess the location of the property, as guests have not commented specifically on this aspect.

Guests find the bedrooms comfortable and the communal spaces ample. However, there are mixed feelings about the kitchen and some discomfort due to heating issues, which affects the overall comfort score.

The property boasts excellent facilities such as a games room and accessibility features. However, there are several reports of maintenance issues with heating, Wi-Fi, and kitchen equipment, which impacts the score.

There are no mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so this category cannot be scored.

    The whole family enjoyed the stay. The house was clean and warm. The heating and facilities worked perfectly. We enjoyed using the game room and we would definitely book again. Highly recommend.

  • Bethan

    Some of the bins in kitchen hadn't been emptied, one cooker was dirty. Was easily sorted by ourselves. Had a few issues with the oven and hob whilst cooking it kept turning it's self off.

  • Catherine

    It was very clean and well presented. The games room was well used and the shuffle board was a wonderful surprise when we walked in. We had an amazing time in an amazing property.
