The Maes Manor Hotel, sitting in the heart of the beautiful Welsh Valleys, is a beautiful old Georgian house. With delightful grounds and a cosy, luxurious interior, Maes Manor is the ideal place for a quiet retreat, an elegant wedding, a conference or a romantic mini-break – right in the heart of some of Britain’s most beautiful countryside.
Diners have the option of eating in the classic ‘old world’ cocktail bar, with its vintage leather seating, oak bar and fire roaring in the original stone fireplace in winter; or Seasons Restaurant, recently refurbished in a plush style and with a capacity for up to 90 covers. Maes Manor has established a great reputation within the area for its Sunday lunches – and with such generous portions, enormous homemade Yorkshire puddings and real gravy, advance booking is strongly advised. During the week, the lunchtime menu offers excellent value.
The à la carte menu provides the diner with superb choice, and there’s something to suit all tastes. The impressive range of starters includes prawn Provençal with rice, and mousse de canard served with mixed salad leaves and a zingy pink peppercorn dressing. As well as traditional British dishes like homemade steak and ale pie, served with legendary Maes Manor chunky chips, there’s also a range of speciality dishes. Why not try wild boar sausages with an apple and Calvados sauce, or venison steak with smoked bacon and onions and a red wine sauce. Sea bass, salmon, shark and cod are all on offer, and Maes Manor also takes great care of its vegetarian diners – the wild mushroom tart with garlic sautéed potatoes is particularly delicious.
The staff at Seasons will offer you the warmest of welcomes – but there’s no need to limit your visit to Maes Manor to the restaurant. With 28 tastefully decorated rooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, tea-and-coffee-making facilities, flat-screen televisions and Wi-Fiaccess, you can extend your stay and experience true Welsh hospitality at its best. Why not visit the website, which has details of some very tempting special offers, or pop in and meet the team. Maes Manor looks forward to welcoming you.
