When my husband and I first viewed Llechwen Hall as a potential venue for our wedding, we instantly fell in love with it. The breathtaking views, coupled with the hotel’s blend of classic charm and modern style, made it clear to us that this was the perfect place to celebrate our special day. The beauty of the venue was simply undeniable, and we were thrilled to book Llechwen Hall as our wedding venue. However, our planning experience with Llechwen Hall was a mix of highs and lows. While there were many positive moments, we did encounter some challenges, primarily due to miscommunication caused by a turnover of wedding coordinators. Unfortunately, this led to some frustration as we found ourselves having to repeat details and discussions that had not been passed on to the new coordinators. For example, from the beginning, we had discussed and stated the importance of having a spacious room for the morning of the wedding to accommodate all of our bridesmaids, myself, and our mothers. As the wedding date approached, we discovered that there was no record of this request, and all the larger rooms in the hotel were already occupied. This was a significant source of stress and disappointment. Despite this setback, we must commend Megan and Rachel for their efforts in securing the Llanfabon Suite for us on the morning of the wedding. They went above and beyond to decorate the room beautifully, allowing us all to get ready together, which was truly appreciated. One particularly concerning incident occurred when we called the venue to make a payment towards our wedding. Shockingly, we were told that there was no record of our wedding being booked at all. This was incredibly alarming, especially considering that by this point, we had already paid a substantial amount toward the total cost. After a tense conversation, it turned out that the receptionist had mistakenly been looking at the wrong year. While this was eventually resolved, it caused us considerable anxiety, raising doubts about the venue’s attention to detail on even the simplest matters. Fast forward to the evening of our wedding, and unfortunately, another issue arose. Toward the later part of the night, I (the groom) ordered a pint at the bar, only to be told that I was not allowed a glass and could only have a paper cup. As you can imagine, a pint in a paper cup was frothy and undrinkable. Frustrated, I expressed my displeasure, stating, ”This is my wedding,” and a member of our wedding party rightly pointed out that after spending so much on the event, the least they could do was provide a proper glass. It was only after this that they finally gave me a glass, but this should never have been an issue in the first place. That said, I want to emphasize how grateful we are for the support we received from Megan, our final wedding coordinator. Megan was amazing—helpful, kind, and truly dedicated to making our wedding day special. She turned what had been a stressful planning process into
We booked this hotel last minute due to another hotel cancelling us. The staff were very welcoming, extremely friendly and couldn't do enough for us. The hotel was very beautiful with a nice bar lounge area downstairs which stayed open until 1am. Our room was nice, although we had a room with a velux window so it felt very dark. We didn't have any view and didn't like that we had no window to open for fresh air. I think this was just unfortunate for us due to booking last minute and the hotel finding 4 rooms to accommodate us. Our friends who stayed had nice rooms with windows. We would definitely stay here again.

This hotel is an exclusive getaway, mainly for couples or celebration events. I enjoyed the cosy atmosphere during the Christmas season and the delicious food served at breakfast prepared fresh by the Head Chef (thank you Chef for the nice chat too!) and at the dinner restaurant. Top quality food!
All staff was very friendly and helpful. The spa area is a bit cold for me, especially in the changing room so I didn't use it. Rooms are clean and welcoming.
Location is quite remote and taxes are not always available, although I didn't have any issue at the time of my stay.
Our wedding day was so perfect and we couldn’t have done it without you all at Canada Lodge and Lake. We knew our wedding day would be beautiful just with your amazing surroundings and venue, but what we didn’t know was how incredibly perfect it would be just for us, the staff were all incredible, food was delicious- those canapés (chefs kiss). We had SO many compliments on our special day. It was everything we could have ever wanted and wished for! We can’t wait to celebrate many more anniversaries to come at Canada Lodge and Lake.

This was our fourth or fifth stay at Bryn Meadows over the course of 8/9 years and it's always more special at Christmas. I have always found it reminiscent of the hotel where Johnny and Baby had the time of their lives 😂 so I find the slightly dated exterior charming. So to address the point of many reviews... Yes, the rooms are dated... We have had all types during our visits and having a suite does make all the difference... The dark furniture is to miserable for the small rooms but fine in the larger. Yes, in some places the cracks of time are visable such as a cracked tile here and there but nothing I found to be so severe it would put me off visiting. Our bedroom was spotless The beds continue to be amazing! The complaints I do have that stops me giving this 5 star again is the bathrooms... There was a strong smell coming from the tub... It wasn't an offensive smell but it did smell of strong soap and it put me off along with the yellow stains on the wall. They are very miserable. Again the spa was lovely... But I don't know why they have created lanes when it's just for the casual spa days. We had dressing gowns but no slippers and when my husband rang to enquire we were told they didn't supply them anymore due to health and safety... Wish we had been told before as walking back to room wasn't fun! Then we seen a bunch of people with the slippers on.b I do think they need to slightly up their spa game if they want to keep their reputation as they haven't grown along with competing spas and charge the same. We only used the restaurant for breakfast this time which is standard but enjoyable... I've always enjoyed the evening meals we've had... But this time we discovered a local pub called Bistro 8 and it's well worth the ten minute drive... £7 taxi fare... Not the cheapest pub but special. The views here are incredible no matter the season. This hotel despite its flaws simply has my heart... Worth a visit 😀
