Beautiful hotel, great location, immaculate and picturesque gardens. Rooms well decorated, clean, really can't complain about the aesthetics. Staff attentive. Breakfast choice very good and delicious. Our only complaint was the noise in the beer garden. The weather was really good, and so, attracted people (guests & non guests) to the beer garden. Music stopped playing at 1110, however, a number of people remained until approx 1am and were so loud, they (non guests) were asked by staff at 1220 to tone it down, they didn't. Another call made to reception and they finally left the garden at approx 1am. We're not party poppers, by an stretch, but it was too much - a simple policy to vacate that area at a certain time, would help going forward. We like to stay here, but will only come back if we knew that there was arestriction on noise levels after say 1130. Everything else 9 or 10/10.

Great location, beautifully decorated room and good quality bedding, towels, toiletries etc.

However .. our room (9) was TINY .. the gap on one side of the bed was approx 8 inches between the bed and the wall so very difficult to navigate safely particularly at night without stubbing your toe on the one side or bumping into to door handle on the other.

There was no where to put a suitcase to unpack other than on the bed or the floor which was difficult for us.

The en-suite was tastefully done but no where to put toiletries and only one tiny glass shelf above the basin. The shower cubicle was also very small indeed.

Bedside tables had lamps and a radio or phone so again no space for much else.

The space was just too tight - It’s really not a suitable room for two people.

If we had been staying more than one night we would have asked to move rooms.

Great location

The location is really lovely and has a nice outside eating area.
Our room, although nice, was very small and there was no lift, which was difficult with the number of bags we had.
We had a small bar snack of olives, which were ok at £5…..and bread with Balsamico and olive oil which was disappointing, as it was two small pieces of bread with very little olive oil with the balsamico…..which for £6 for the bread was excessive.
Despite that negative comment the hotel itself is very special, for its location and history.

Awful service, freezing room, uncomfortable bed

When we arrived we were greeted by a man sitting on the sofa. He told us we could check in but didn't guide us and remained seated. I went to the terminal and because I had checked in online it told us to speak to someone on the front desk so we went back to the sofa. We were then taken to our room.
On making a coffee we found two broken/ used coffee pods. We didn't see this as a problem until I used an out of date oat milk from 2024 and another from April 25. We took them down to the front desk in the envelope given to us on check in. The man on reception said he'd get it sorted. On our return to the room 40 minutes or so later this hadn't been done. My husband went back down again and he was given the coffee pods but not the milk. He rang the room an hour later saying he'd bring some up shortly but someone had to go out and get some oat milk (this was delivered in a grey milk jug).

We went down for dinner. We had a lovely dinner. We decided we'd get a drink or two in the bar afterwards. So we asked the server if we could order small plated at the bag. He said he'd check and when he came back he said 'through gritted teeth they said you can order until 9pm'. Following this awful exchange we also heard an employee talking about us at the bar, complaining about us being there. We spoke to management after our stay and they offered 'to take care of us' if we returned but in my opinion this solution is not acceptable. We wont back.

Lovely property with plenty on site parking. Great location in town. Customer service systems for pre-check in and check in are great, but the little bits of human interaction especially at check out felt impersonal (at best), incongruent with the rest of the experience.

Review of The Priory Hotel, Caerleon

This was my third stay at The Priory Hotel, and it continues to be exceptional. The combination of historic charm and modern comfort makes it a standout choice in Caerleon.

The rooms are simply amazing—beautifully designed, spacious, and incredibly comfortable. The beds are plush, ensuring a great night’s sleep, and the peaceful atmosphere makes it a perfect retreat. Every detail, from the furnishings to the thoughtful amenities, enhances the experience.

The service is outstanding. The staff are welcoming, professional, and attentive, always making sure guests feel well taken care of. Whether checking in, dining, or asking for assistance, the hospitality is top-notch.

The hotel’s ambience is both elegant and cozy, with a perfect balance of history and luxury. The recent refurbishment has made it even more inviting, enhancing the overall experience.

For the quality offered, it provides great value. A few small extras, such as complimentary refreshments in the rooms, could enhance the stay even further.

Having stayed three times, I can confidently say this is my go-to place in Caerleon. Whether for a relaxing getaway or a business trip, The Priory is a perfect choice. Looking forward to my next visit!

£300 pre-authorisation charge???

Travellers should be aware!!!!! This hotel pre-charges your card for £300.00 + room cost, this they claim is for if you cause damage to the room????? I have stayed in 100s of hotels and never had the hotel pre-charge for such a large amount, normally you get pre-charged around £50.00 for food charge if you want this added to your room. When questioned the manager about the large amount being pre-charged I was informed that this was because they had suffered room damage from clients, for example TV's being ripped off the wall and £300 was the normal pre-charge for hotels??? Not sure the type of clients they normally have staying, but clearly not the type of quest that I normally come across in my business trips around the country. So beware, if you stay here the pre-authorisation is extortionate, the hotel is ok, the food was good, the room is no more than fair.

As for the staff, they make it, friendly, helpful, a warm cheeky charm and a welcoming demeanour. We loved our 3 night stay.

Lovely Place Let Down by Poorly Managed Staff

Room and grounds are excellent; staff are sparse on the ground, but friendly enough when engaged. The bar is a complete let down with poorly trained staff and at times it's too busy to for them to effectively handle. The real disappointment though was the restaurant where, despite excellent food (per reputaution) the staff once again spoiled it. Poor training and a lack of adequate siupervision/direction on a very busy saturday night service was a recipe for disaster..... Shame it could/should have been so much better!

Unfortunately they are renovating the restaurant so limited menu in the bar. Also had to change lunch to another restaurant as they were drilling so too noisy. This will be finished in a few days though, and as I have stayed here before I know this is not normal and I will certainly continue to stay at the Priory and would recommend it.

expensive and no milk!

It is a lovely hotel. A couple of gripes though. No-one on reception for check in or out. Very expensive drinks (£70 for 3 glasses of wine and a pint of beer!). Very lumpy pillows. And the worst - no milk only revolting vegan oat milk - why are they catering for the minority not the majority? Made the nice coffee from the coffee machine undrinkable and I really need my morning coffee.

Lovely house and grounds with lots of history, good parking although only 1 EV charger that only runs at 3KW thats if you can park by it because other less considerate guests park on the bays with non ev cars, the rooms are well appointed and clean although we were given Room 4 upstairs despite asking for a ground floor, the room smelled of cooked meat due to the kitchen extraction fans being outside the window, the bed was very uncomfortable, i ended up having to use a walking stick the next day due to a stiff back, they did move us to a ground floor room the next day to be fair but the bed was the same, breakfasts were hit and miss, the full breakfast looked good but the black pudding was an aquired taste, the hash brown or rostie whatever it was fell apart and sausages weren't very good, the continental breakfast was not comprehensive, cereals, a couple of different pasties, meat and cheese slices and pots of yoghurt if there were any left, the filter coffee is bitter, any other option costs extra, apple or orange or water only, we ordered tea which we waited 25 minutes for and gave up and left in the end.... when the heating is on the rooms are like saunas and the water is red hot... the heaters are on or off so rooms hot or cold, the bar is noisy in evenings and only sells 2 lagers and No beer but lots of wine, wouldn't stay again....

After many stays at the Priory over the last 18 months we are now compelled to find an alternative for our trips to visit family back in the UK. There are pluses: its location; scenic grounds; the breakfast; some spacious rooms; pleasant staff. Unfortunately, there's been something wrong on each stay. Many trivial issues (disappearing wi-fi, unwashed glasses, un-restocked complimentary water bottles, refusal to serve restaurant food in the garden, inoperative coffee pods) mount up and when added to some larger issues we were left with a bad taste. The rooms appear to have been designed for looks, rather than use. Low slung beds, high backed uncomfortable chairs, the lack of usable surfaces & small rooms may suffice for a short stay, but not for anything more than 3-4 nights. Some encounters with staff have been unfortunate, being berated on check-in for some unfathomable reason and provided with incorrect information about services. We were grateful the manager was apologetic about these incidents, but it did indicate untrained staff left to fend for themselves. The final straw was arriving at the hotel on our recent visit to be assigned a cottage that stank of smoke. This meant a downgrade to a small double room, without any offer of compensation or apology. Either the cleaning staff did not inform management or management decided to try and use it anyway.

After many stays at the Priory over the last 18 months we are now compelled to find an alternative for our trips to visit family back in the UK. There are pluses: its location; scenic grounds; the breakfast; some spacious rooms; pleasant staff. Unfortunately, there's been something wrong on each stay. Many trivial issues (disappearing wi-fi, unwashed glasses, un-restocked complimentary water bottles, refusal to serve restaurant food in the garden, inoperative coffee pods) mount up and when added to some larger issues we were left with a bad taste. The rooms appear to have been designed for looks, rather than use. Low slung beds, high backed uncomfortable chairs, the lack of usable surfaces & small rooms may suffice for a short stay, but not for anything more than 3-4 nights. Some encounters with staff have been unfortunate, being berated on check-in for some unfathomable reason and provided with incorrect information about services. We were grateful the manager was apologetic about these incidents, but it did indicate untrained staff left to fend for themselves. The final straw was arriving at the hotel on our recent visit to be assigned a cottage that stank of smoke. This meant a downgrade to a small double room, without any offer of compensation or apology. Either the cleaning staff did not inform management or management decided to try and use it anyway. In either case this was unacceptable.

Always good

Always amazing, IT glitches at book-in and departure poor receptionist could do nothing but apologies but these things happen.

Car charges need updating to a minimum of 22kw so a charge can be fully achieved in 6-8 hrs

Lovely hotel and grounds. We had a cosy double, my only two complaints about the room are the bed is so soft, whenever my other half rolled over, I thought I would be catapulted off the bed and the doors really slam shut and shake the whole room so when people leave early in the morning you are woken up.

Breakfast options are good, lovely fruit and cooked options. The orange and apple juice are basically just coloured water, they don’t taste of anything, so that could definitely be improved.

The evening bar staff and restaurant staff are so lovely, they make you feel so welcome and are really chatty. The restaurant is also good, different concept but great food.

Lots of parking, we stayed for 2 nights but said we were there for a week on the registration screen when you log your number plate as there are reviews of people getting tickets.

I found the bath slippery, the bath mat was hidden away in the wardrobe.
Due to this I slipped.

I proceed down stairs to the receptionist to make a incident report however there was no forms available.

A lovely peaceful hotel in lovely grounds. The bedrooms were comfortable. The shower was a bit hard to control. The only disappointment was that breakfast was served in one of the bars and the tables were ridiculously small. Much better to have it served in the restaurant which I notice late diners had.

What a lovely find esp when Cardiff over-priced and poor availability for a big gig at Principality. Easy taxi to train station and frequent trains into Cardiff Central. Hotel itself really special with great staff and very nicely turned-out rooms with local Welsh water and toiletries.

No common sense. Who can you call

I was looking for a hotel with really good food so I could book my daughter’s wedding reception. After filling in the necessary arrival dates and how many we’re staying. I scrolled down looking at other accommodation. I came back to the Priory and booked one night.. On receiving my confirmation I noticed that the date at the top had changed. Called hotel spoke to Reece . Who told us to contact Hotels. Com . Spoke to the virtual assistant Nashwa who tried to charge us £200 pounds for the mistake. Even just 1 hour after making the booking.we wanted the 18th the computer gave us 19 th . We lost our £95 . The priory lost an evening meal a Wedding reception and had empty rooms for the 18 th still available. And would have been able to sell the room for the next night.

Overall very good.

Enjoyed the hotel, the room was very loud from traffic and drinking (I had ear plugs which solved the problem) also there is shutters rather than curtains, which means it gets light in the morning. Hotel was fantastic and will book again.

Feedback - at breakfast, it would have been nice if lattes etc are included in the breakfast price.

Old with an interesting history and situated in pleasant grounds. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food in restaurant was excellent although a bit pricy. Room was on the small side but lovely. Only issue was the two large steps up into the bathroom with no handrails. Some people may find this problematic.

Nice place, but no blind on glass door

The complex is brilliant and the rooms are well fitted out. The check in girl was absolutely lovely. However, the door and side panels are of the room are frosted glass. Therefore the outside light came through the glass all night. Then the sun came up. We told the man on checkout that we did not have a good night. He informed us that previous people had pulled it off and they were waiting for a replacement. There were other vacant rooms available. He preceded to give us our bill and as an afterthought said he would not charge us for breakfast.
Very disappointing that we were put in the room in the first place since we really liked the environment

Priory, Caerleon.

Room was beautifully appointed, clean and spacious. Garden and grounds well kept and litter free. Staff friendly and efficient. However, the full breakfast was a big disappointment. Some strange tasting ingredients and only one cup of coffee and no refills offered.

The location fitted my work, the hotel is in good order. The rest especially the food was a disgrace, quality of food was very poor (cross contamination on display) fish displayed was so bad. Service matched the food. Breakfast was un-edible on both mornings, bread was full of mold, bacon was the same, eggs were not cooked and hash brown was dark brown and was inedible. No one cared, said sorry but did not act. Three of us booked for second night meal but went elsewhere for food. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.
