Lovely house and grounds with lots of history, good parking although only 1 EV charger that only runs at 3KW thats if you can park by it because other less considerate guests park on the bays with non ev cars, the rooms are well appointed and clean although we were given Room 4 upstairs despite asking for a ground floor, the room smelled of cooked meat due to the kitchen extraction fans being outside the window, the bed was very uncomfortable, i ended up having to use a walking stick the next day due to a stiff back, they did move us to a ground floor room the next day to be fair but the bed was the same, breakfasts were hit and miss, the full breakfast looked good but the black pudding was an aquired taste, the hash brown or rostie whatever it was fell apart and sausages weren't very good, the continental breakfast was not comprehensive, cereals, a couple of different pasties, meat and cheese slices and pots of yoghurt if there were any left, the filter coffee is bitter, any other option costs extra, apple or orange or water only, we ordered tea which we waited 25 minutes for and gave up and left in the end.... when the heating is on the rooms are like saunas and the water is red hot... the heaters are on or off so rooms hot or cold, the bar is noisy in evenings and only sells 2 lagers and No beer but lots of wine, wouldn't stay again....

The Priory Hotel in Caerleon is a charming, historic hotel set in a former monastery. It offers comfortable rooms, a well-regarded restaurant, and beautiful gardens. Its location in the Roman town of Caerleon is ideal for exploring local attractions.

Priory Hotel was a beautiful place. The building and grounds were lovely as were the renovated areas. Our room was a little small, but was decorated nicely. Arriving late, we were unable to enjoy the space as much as we wanted. Only had breakfast at the restaurant, but it was very good.

After many stays at the Priory over the last 18 months we are now compelled to find an alternative for our trips to visit family back in the UK. There are pluses: its location; scenic grounds; the breakfast; some spacious rooms; pleasant staff. Unfortunately, there's been something wrong on each stay. Many trivial issues (disappearing wi-fi, unwashed glasses, un-restocked complimentary water bottles, refusal to serve restaurant food in the garden, inoperative coffee pods) mount up and when added to some larger issues we were left with a bad taste. The rooms appear to have been designed for looks, rather than use. Low slung beds, high backed uncomfortable chairs, the lack of usable surfaces & small rooms may suffice for a short stay, but not for anything more than 3-4 nights. Some encounters with staff have been unfortunate, being berated on check-in for some unfathomable reason and provided with incorrect information about services. We were grateful the manager was apologetic about these incidents, but it did indicate untrained staff left to fend for themselves. The final straw was arriving at the hotel on our recent visit to be assigned a cottage that stank of smoke. This meant a downgrade to a small double room, without any offer of compensation or apology. Either the cleaning staff did not inform management or management decided to try and use it anyway. In either case this was unacceptable.

Lovely hotel and grounds. We had a cosy double, my only two complaints about the room are the bed is so soft, whenever my other half rolled over, I thought I would be catapulted off the bed and the doors really slam shut and shake the whole room so when people leave early in the morning you are woken up. Breakfast options are good, lovely fruit and cooked options. The orange and apple juice are basically just coloured water, they don’t taste of anything, so that could definitely be improved. The evening bar staff and restaurant staff are so lovely, they make you feel so welcome and are really chatty. The restaurant is also good, different concept but great food. Lots of parking, we stayed for 2 nights but said we were there for a week on the registration screen when you log your number plate as there are reviews of people getting tickets.

I found the bath slippery, the bath mat was hidden away in the wardrobe. Due to this I slipped. I proceed down stairs to the receptionist to make a incident report however there was no forms available.

A lovely peaceful hotel in lovely grounds. The bedrooms were comfortable. The shower was a bit hard to control. The only disappointment was that breakfast was served in one of the bars and the tables were ridiculously small. Much better to have it served in the restaurant which I notice late diners had.

What a lovely find esp when Cardiff over-priced and poor availability for a big gig at Principality. Easy taxi to train station and frequent trains into Cardiff Central. Hotel itself really special with great staff and very nicely turned-out rooms with local Welsh water and toiletries.
