Rhymney House Hotel

We stayed here on a motorcycling trip across Wales. What a lovely family run place. The building is old and lovely. The bar and restaurant are cosy and there are great beers on tap. The food was excellent. All home cooked. And we thought it was great value. Don’t expect state of the art rooms as the building is listed. B it you can expect charm and a lovely welcome by the really nice people who run it.

First room had a dried up slug behind the bathroom door, asked to move so got given a family riom(was told not one available a couple of weeks before) this was better. Had booked 2 rooms but just used the one , still charged for 2 though , it wasn't my fault the first hadn't been checked . Very dark dangerous stairs to get in and of the building at night . We didn't shower as silverfish crawling in there .

Avoid. Very shabby. Carpets have soft bits which make me wonder about the floors. Strange layouts. Eg bed in alcove so I had to clamber over the end to get in. I’m a disabled pensioner ! No drawers , no wardrobe only a few hangers over the tea table. Most women wouldn’t reach it ! No toiletries. When I asked , they looked surprised! Everything dated , shabby , Clean but scruffy. Food was cheap but mediocre. Fast food. Nb chips undercooked.it’s a very rough poor area. The bar was full of old miners and families at night. Didn’t make me feel comfortable! Best I can say is cheap and I didn’t get fleas. If I’d gone with a lady I’d have run away. I can’t see it hanging on much longer. It’s run on a shoestring! Poor staff training. Tbh most didn’t look like hotel staff! Go look at a good hotel. Smart , bright , attractive uniformed young people! The area is ghastly. Very tough and scruffy. I’ve never seen so many tattooed middle aged women ! Stay in a better place somewhere like crickhowell or Brecon maybe. There must be holiday inns or best western that are cheap. The step at the bottom of the stairs , despite a sign , was lethal !!the whole place, even the rutted and potholed car park, needs rebuilding. If you are satisfied with this place , you must have incredibly low standards. Trouble is, we don’t complain in Britain. We let them get away with this. Ok it was £40 B&B , but I still expect more than this !! It is handy for the A465 which is the best I can say. It’s good if you want to see a lot of alcoholics. There’s no restaurants in rhymney. A few in Tredegar but it’s like the Wild West. No. No . No.

We stayed for two nights and had breakfast and evening meals. Amazing menu - from standard chicken and chips to more exotic venison steaks. The staff at this family-run hotel really went out of their way to ensure we had a happy and comfortable stay. We hope to visit again in the not-too-distant future!

Found this lovely Inn/hotel for a night's stay near Abergavenny. Ann and Tony were super friendly and the whole place has a lovely homely feel. Someone on *********** said the rooms were 'tired' - well perhaps but I'd prefer to say they have an old charm, a little faded at the corners maybe. If you like spanking new, this is not for you - but it was all genuine, everything was comfortable and clean and we had a really good night's sleep. What really stood out, apart from the friendliness and warmth was the menu. I'm veggie, my daughter is vegan, and my partner is a whole mixture! And there was a truly extensive menu for all of us. Extraordinary in a pub setting. A lot of the dishes were traditional pub fare, but with a load of vegan options - and all home cooked. Wonderful - and really delicious!

See other review. If you think places like this are acceptable then you must live in a rubbish dump. Disgusting. Avoid at all costs. I’d report it to health and safety. Filthy. Badly run. Terrible facilities. No wardrobe. Had to clamber over end of bed to get in. No soap , shampoo etc. no chest for clothes. Staff looked dirty. Thuggy people in bar at night. Ugh.
