We (2 adults, 1 3yo) had a good stay at Seiont Manor whilst visiting family in the area.
I'm rating it 4 stars since it suited our needs perfectly - clean, comfortable, nice food, pool for a quick dip and friendly staff.
We had read other reviews before going where people expecting a luxury 'handpicked' hotel were disappointed and can see why they may be. If you've been in any luxury 4 and 5-star hotels in this country the difference will be clear; I would say this is a 3-star hotel with the potential to be 4-star after a makeover.
Just to re-iterate though, a nice hotel and I'm sure we will return.

We stayed for one night. Easy to find, ample parking in a beautiful and quiet setting. Really friendly and welcoming staff. Bar staff are so lovely. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. There is a pool and sauna which we didn’t use but saw was clean. Food was edible but not enjoyable.

Nice enough hotel, bit dated which is fine for the price. Lovely setting. Twos issues with the stay. Firstly room next to ours was having a bit of a party till late which was annoying but the front desk happily asked them to quieten down. The food it terrible and overpriced. Had lasagna which was probably the worst lasagna I've ever had and was nearly £17. Avoid the kitchen at all costs.

What a lovely hotel to stay in. My room was fantastic and absolutely huge!! The food was lovely and the staff were fantastic. Unfortunately I didn't get the name of the young man in the bar last night, or the gentleman who waited on our table but their service was wonderful. Nicky the receptionist this morning was also to be praised for her customer service. Very friendly and had time for us. All the staff we met were a credit to your hotel. We cant wait to come and stay again.

Enjoyed our stay at seiont manor. Easy to find and a lovely drive down to the hotel.
The room was superb. Big, clean and lots of seating. Big TV in the corner and usual tea/instant coffee on offer. The bathroom had a separate bath/shower (and a bidet!) And was also spotlessly clean. The light was on a timer with no option to override, so a midnight soak in the bath I was plunged into darkness every 5 minutes!
The main areas were fine, albeit a bit dated. You can tell 25 years ago this place would have been fantastic, but unfortunately it is a tad dated now and some areas are a bit rough round the edges.the bar area was big with comfy couches, and wine list was good.
The wellness centre/swimming pool could be a fantastic addition to the hotel, but the attention to detail seems to have been forgot about. Two old loungers strewn next to the pool, an old (but funcioning!) Sauna and a gym suite which had a handfull of old machines in some damp rooms was a bit of a disappointment. Old pictures of the pool look like at one point it had some atmosphere and care, but now it is stark and bare. We didnt see anyone in there the whole time except ourselves and some employees. The pool itself was clean and useable.
Breakfast was fine, a small selection of cooked breakfasts and eggs really, with a central table full of cereals/juice/pastries. Both times we took breakfast we had to ask for toast even though it was offered to others around us, same with tea/coffee. Staff were friendly but when busier were run off their feet.
This place is great for a few nights stay if you're visiting the area, but if you're expecting a modern, well staffed spa hotel this isn't it. A bit of modernisation and TLC in the rooms and public areas and It would be a fantastic hotel!

Was really impressed by the late-night welcome and fabulous service we received from all the reception staff - especially Molly, who went above and beyond, producing improved Snowden route details and a coordinating bus timetable for us while we breakfasted! Wonderful room with balcony doors opening out to a gorgeous tree-filled view and morning birdsong. Top class poached eggs with our full English breakfasts, and our evening meal was truly delicious (hearty burger, great side salad, hot crusty bread and thick mushroom soup to die for!). Also enjoyed the swimming pool and sauna. Could not have asked for more.

Stayed here for 5-year anniversary, and truly enjoyed the break. Wonderful building with spacious rooms, delightful toiletries and scenic gardens. The pool and steam room was a great bonus! Would highly recommend to anyone 👍👍👍
