The History
Llanthony Priory has a rich and fascinating history, dating back to the 12th century. As one of the earliest Augustinian canons in Britain, the priory was founded in response to a need to spread Christianity to the Celtic peoples of Wales. The priory's remote location in the Welsh hills made it vulnerable to attack, and it was eventually dissolved in the 16th century. Today, our hotel pays homage to this rich history, offering a unique and enchanting experience that is steeped in tradition and culture.

Dog Policy
However, some visitors have been disappointed by the priory's no-dog policy, which has been seen as restrictive and unfair. Some have argued that dogs should be allowed in the grounds, especially since children are permitted.
Miscellaneous Issues
A few reviewers have raised issues with the priory's takeout drinks, citing that the '2 pint takeout' containers do not actually hold 2 pints, and are therefore overpriced. Another reviewer has expressed frustration at the 'no picnics' rule, which seems to be inconsistently enforced.
