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.

We won't be using this...

Liked: Location
Disliked: No pool, no water, no flushing toilets, no bed linen for the sofa bed, when it eventually arrived at almost 10pm there was no duvet cover. Breakfast was atrocious, we were told no tea coffee, what was left was greasy the waiter was not attentive we had to get are own extra chair to make up the table of 5. The waiter was seen by us eating from the hot buffet food with his hands. We took our 3 grandchildren away one of them being autistic, it completely spoilt our stay. When we went to return the key, we were kept waiting, when then receptionist appeared wearing lipstick, she joked sorry about that lovely my lips were dry. Totally unprofessional staff, they all need training. The manager was the only professional, perhaps he can train his staff to his level.

See above

Liked: The welcome we received upon arrival was fantastic. We arrived on the 22nd after a poor experience at another resort. The lady that organised our room & stay was so lovely and helpful. She went well above and beyond what was expected. Myself and children had a really disappointing experience elsewhere and had been in the car most of the day and she very quickly returned the smiles to our faces. So much so that we decided to book another night and again was helped by linking the bookings, keeping us in our room for the following day/evening. The breakfast was of good quality, the pool area was very clean and very much enjoyed by the children and our room was spotlessly clean! The bar staff were very efficient and friendly and the room service food ordered was of a great standard. I don’t very often give a review, but having had the best experience, there is no way I couldn’t take the time to thank all at the hotel. We’ll definitely be back and recommend to others. Thank you!
Disliked: N/A
