Twelve Knights — Restaurant in Wales

We came to the restaurant for my husband's birthday. We were greeted at the bar very quickly and was told to sit wherever we liked, as it was very quiet at the time. We were served our drinks extremely quickly, and then once we had browsed the menu, our order was taken very efficiently at the bar. Our starters arrived, piping hot, we both had the pea and mint soup, which was absolutely delicious. Once finished, our plates were cleared by our server Chloe, who seemed very timid, but did her job impeccably fast and efficiently, which was very pleasing. Chloe was extremely polite, and very professional, and up for a general chat, which is what we liked. Our main courses again were served very fast. Again, the food was lovely, and portion size was great for the price paid. Unfortunately, we couldn't finish our meals totally, so asked to take our leftovers home. This was no trouble, the only disappointing thing was, that the kitchen did not have any boxes to pack the leftovers up in, so we were given cling film instead. This wasn't a major issue, as we only had a small amount of leftovers to pack, it would have been a little concerning, had we had more to pack, so I would suggest that proper containers for leftovers are kept in constant supply for the future. After packing our leftovers, we ordered desserts, these again were scrumptious. As it was my husband's birthday, we were very surprised, when Chloe came to our table with a birthday card for him, we thoroughly appreciated the effort made with this, but sadly we accidentally left the card behind on our table, but only realised once we arrived home, and unfortunately don't live very local, so couldn't go back to collect it, but we truly appreciate the thought by the restaurant, and will 100% be returning very soon. Thank you to all the staff, especially all the kitchen staff for producing great food and to our server Chloe for her terrific service. Look forward to seeing you all again...

Stayed here overnight on our way back home. Decent enough stay, didn't hear any noise, good location, close to the m4, nice view from the hotel and plenty of parking.

Hotel room itself needs a little updating, bathroom looks as though It may have been done at some point (bonus is the bathroom we had at least was huge!) shower cubicle and separate bath. Mould developing quite bad in areas due to other people not airing the place efficiently. Looks as though they're doing things to prevent it though still there. Bed was comfy and room was fine. Carpet has stains absolutely everywhere, but just wear socks and it's OK. Clean at least. No smoking in any rooms which is the norm and great, though because there's a smokers area at the top of the fire exit, there is a cigarette smell, but I guess can't be helped.

General areas are clean and the bar seems good enough plenty of choices of beer.

Sadly we arrived too late for the food. Kitchen closed at 7+30/8 on Saturday night, seemed a little early but is what it is.

Breakfast in the morning, bit of a disappointment really. First thing no hot water for the coffee, no milk for the breakfast or coffee, no bread for toasting, no toaster for toasting but possibly not even an option, no juice available, no croissants to help yourself to, all seemed a little chaotic and like we were asking for too much. Possibly an oversight for things like that but if you're going to offer such as coffee or cereal then make sure the necessities for make such things are there.

Breakfast is from 8 we arrived for breakfast 8:15.

All in all a pleasent stay, would visit for the pub again, but not...

I'm very disappointed with this place. Looks lovely outside and made big wow when we arrived. Unfortunately it was only stop on our journey so we arrived late and try leave early after breakfast. When we arrived very helpful gentleman ( I think somebody said manager) check me in and share all useful information about the place. The room was big, bright and nice. Need update, but was clean and well kept. Fresh bedding and towels, tea and coffee in the room. I will say 9/10 for the hotel part of the place.

The problem was with the pub part. When we arrived around 8 they said kitchen is closed, they not serving any more food. In the morning was not better. We were the first people for breakfast. Young lady said we can sit anywhere and choose our option. She said in the waiting time continental part is for us for free and we can make there tea or coffee. Great. The problem was the place wasn't set up. There wasn't hot water, no milk for the cornflakes, no juices or tap water. When we ask her she said everything is there- but wasn't... We have to asked three times about stuff and then she was bringing everything. She sounded like she was annoyed with me but it wasn't my fault. Good there is a jam and honey but not croissants, bread or toast. Couple next to us asked about it and they bake for them fresh but Im not sure if that should work like that. They didn't ask us about it. Apart from that my breakfast was tasty (but messed up as the lady mix my and my partner's order...)

I wish to give more star because this place is lovely. I hope come back in some point and hopefully update my review and...
