The Spotlight on Best Western Heronston Hotel & Spa

Relaxed Comfort with Easy Access to South Wales Concert Venues

Modern yet peaceful, Best Western Heronston Hotel & Spa sits in the heart of Glamorgan, just a short drive from Cardiff and the South Wales coast. Surrounded by mature gardens and historic landmarks, this hotel offers a serene escape with the added bonus of a full leisure suite, free parking, and an on-site restaurant—all perfect amenities for music fans looking to unwind before or after a show.

Why Concert-goers love it

With Cardiff's top music venues just a short drive away, this hotel is an excellent base for fans attending gigs in the city or along the coast. After a high-energy night, retreat to the spa facilities including a heated indoor pool, sauna, and steam room—ideal for post-concert recovery. Free Wi-Fi and free parking make logistics a breeze, and flexible check-in from 13:00 means you can settle in early before heading out for the evening.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends road-tripping for a weekend of music and sightseeing
- Solo travelers catching a bucket-list artist in Cardiff
- Couples combining a romantic getaway with a concert
- Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space away from the city bustle
- Budget-conscious music fans who want spa perks without the downtown Cardiff prices

Food and Drink Options

Start your day right—even if it's a late one—with hot breakfasts available, and kids under 12 eat free with a paying adult. The Crane Restaurant serves fresh, local specialties with an extensive wine list, while the Ewennys Bar & Grill offers lighter bites and drinks. Room service is also available, perfect for late arrivals or post-show cravings.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about relaxation than revelry, it's just a short drive to Cardiff’s vibrant nightlife scene. Whether you're into live music pubs, cocktail lounges, or dance clubs, there are plenty of late-night options nearby. Prefer a quieter evening? The hotel bar is a great place to enjoy a local craft drink in a laid-back setting.

What People Say

Guests love the welcoming staff, clean and spacious rooms, and the excellent spa facilities. Many appreciate the peaceful location after a night out, and reviews consistently mention the value for money and convenient parking. It’s often described as a “hidden gem” just outside the city.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers mention that the decor in a few rooms could use a refresh, and occasional wedding events can make the bar area busier than usual. But overall, these are minor issues compared to the overall comfort and convenience.

The Bottom Line

Best Western Heronston Hotel & Spa is a solid pick for concert-goers looking for a relaxed, affordable stay within easy reach of Cardiff’s music venues—with the bonus of spa perks to recharge between gigs.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Disappointing

Liked: The bedroom was of an excellent standard: well decorated and furnished with everything you could want for a hotel stay.Breakfast in the dining room was very good, and I appreciated the Laverbread addition to the full breakfast, a complimentary extra.Staff on reception and at breakfast were all very welcoming and friendly.
Disliked: The food on a Sunday evening, served in the bar, wasn't good; one meal had all the right ingredients but was cooked to a disappointing standard, the other meal, a steak, was okay but not great.During our meal two other diners complained about their meals calling them bland.We moved tables because there was a problem with drains and a very bad smell wafting in the window (initially we thought we had walked something in!). A staff member said it was probably the farmers field until my wife said she could see a drain overflowing under the window - not even an attempt to close the window though?
