The Old Post Office

Stayed just one night, the room was cold and the bathroom was damp, condensation on the mirror, pealing paint not a standard that I was happy with, as they were fully booked we could not change rooms would give three stars for the room
The food on the other hand was excellent we had an evening meal and breakfast the following morning, full marks for this. The dining area was very pleasant and staff very polite and helpful, would give four stars for the food, hence the above rating.

We had a birthday lunch for my mother last Sunday. The staff were great, the food pretty good, the wine above average and good value (I went for a Chilean Sauvignon Blanc and a Cote du Rhone Village).
Maybe I am too used to paying London prices, but this seemed pretty good value to me. The total came to about 25 pounds a person, including tip, two courses including wine. I can’t really complain about this. Menu was fairly limited (maybe because it was a Sunday) and probably wouldn’t have appealed to a vegetarian, but the meat and fish eaters were very happy. I had a sea bream; others had roast lamb or beef or Dover Sole. Everyone seemed very happy with their food in the party of twelve.

On first thoughts of arriving I thought this place looked a bit different. The reception was warm and inviting and the staff friendly enough.
My room was huge and had a balcony with another bed in it which was a surprise. The Tv was a small portable one which doesnt fit into a room as big as this one so I think it could use a bigger telly. In our room we had a double enclosed power shower/​wet room which was one of the added bonuses as each room in this hotel is different.
The food was expensive and did not meet to my standards considering the expense of it. I thought it could have been better, do not have a chocolate fondue here as they cannot make one! mine came out rock solid and no chocolate sauce oozing out of middle! Talk about disappointing! Oh and another thing they do not have the wines you want either as most of the wines we requested they did not have in stock.
Nice to experience once but I would not go here again and is mostly suitable for special occasions. St fagan’s is not far from here either.

This restaurant looks more like a hotel than an eating venue, I was quite surprised arriving and entering a modern but cosy reception. I was even more surprised by looking at the price of a one course meal for a whopping £15.78! I was expecting something extraordinary for this price but unfortunately it didn’t meet my standards.
The selection of meals are very limited and not many are suitable for vegetarians, but they are all freshly cooked and hand prepared and set out beautifully on the plate. This restaurant offers a very wide selection of wines but not so many beers or spirits. The dining area is very small but this in my opinion is an advantage because there aren’t so many people dining the same time as you so you can have a nice relaxing conversation and not have to talk over so many other people. I would defiantly advise booking a table before hand so you don’t have to wait by the bar and ending up spending a fortune before you even start your meal!
The dining area is in a modern conservatory but it has a warm glow which makes the place feel more relaxing. Since the prices are so high I would only consider coming here for a birthday dinner or a special occasion.
