    I eat here regularly and have never had a bad meal. What's more, there's rarely a menu item that I don't fancy eating. The atmosphere is unpretentious and the food is superb, well presented and absolutely delicious.

    We only ordered mains so the review is based upon those. My husband said his pork was overcooked and tasteless. My ribeye steak was thin and ordered as medium rare. Most of the steak was on the medium side than medium rare. The kitchen left the tender stem broccoli off the plate and I had to ask the waitstaff twice before it was brought out to the table (at the end of the meal). We also ordered a bottle of Merlot (££) and it was basically a low grade red table wine even though it was labelled as a Merlot (no vintage listed). Everything was overpriced for what it was. The hotel (we stayed there) credited the wine from the bill when we checked out. We looked elsewhere to eat the rest of our time there.

    Great place to dine. We are visiting Wales from the US and stayed in a B&B close by. Excellent food, wonderful atmosphere and very nice staff.

    We are dairy and gluten intolerant. Nant Ddu Lodge was able to accommodate our needs and the food was exceptional! The staff were fantastic, warm, welcoming and professional. Would highly recommend.

    Food was good but not very warm. Service was poor as had to keep asking for things. Didn’t like that people using the Spa also sat with diners whilst sitting in their Spa robes.
