Afternoon Tea not a stay - absolutely five star - location, welcome, service and importantly, delicious coffee and food. Tracy ensured a hot pot at all times and was rewarded with very appreciative clean plates!!! We had a fabulous afternoon, which needs to be done more often than we allow ourselves, would definitely return and recommend!! Thank you all for your fantastic hospitality.

Super rural location, we had "room 1" with the copper bath, well furnished clean and very peaceful.
Had a lovely well prepared evening meal at the "cow shed" the staff are all very friendly efficient and attentive. The breakfast was also of a very good quality, plenty of choice and staff excellent. Would return here again, although a "working farm" does not impact on your stay in fact makes it more interesting and unique. Well done everyone at "Crug Glas", ardderchog.

The food was lovely and the rooms were comfortable and clean. It is also situated in a really beautiful part of Wales. We'll be coming back, especially for the breakfast!

Maybe should be a 5, but service not quite there with some young staff learning the ropes. Great location. Not a huge menu but enough to make choices difficult! Beautifully cooked and presented and good value.

Excellent food from the 35 3 course menu. We ate:
Wild mushrooms in truffle oil with pine nuts - magnificent but should have some bread to mop the oil.
Smoked duck breast with plum - great
Selwin with lemon and dill cream sauce - beautiful
Lamb chump with Berry mint sauce - generous portion and melt in the mouth
Lemon posset with pink peppercorn shortbread and rice pudding with Berry compote - both delicious. The tables were well spaced giving a good feeling of covid safety and service was fast but unhurried.
Thoroughly deserves its 5 star rating
