“ We stayed at the Priory for our 50th wedding anniversary in June 25. The accommodation, food and service were of the highest quality. The priory and its amazing grounds are impeccable with many mature trees and rich green lawns. We opted for steaks for dinner from a varied menu and a 5 star English breakfast the following day. Situated in a quiet corner of Caerleon with excellent parking facility you have to go there to experience it yourself. ”
“ I actually wanted to say a massive thank you to the restaurant manager who was on shift at 1pm today (26.01.25) when my niece choked, which was horribly scary. He took over & managed to clear her airways. She is fine & we are very grateful!!! Thank you so much! (Also side note, the food, service, drinks are all fab!) ”
