Frommer's Review

Sixteen kilometers (10 miles) west of the city, this elegant country-house hotel lies in a bucolic setting in the Vale of Glamorgan. The house dates from the 17th century and has been carefully restored, and it's filled with antiques and well-chosen accessories, including paintings and porcelain. In nippy weather you can warm yourself by the open fires. Standing amid 2.8 hectares (7 acres) of gardens, it faces the sea in the hamlet of Porthkerry, within easy driving distance of the Brecon Beacons and Gower Peninsula. It was once a rectory and private residence but was opened as a small luxurious house in 1988. All the rooms are spacious and exceedingly comfortable; some have four-poster beds. The suites offer beautiful coastal views.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; room service; babysitting; laundry service

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
