The Spotlight on New House Country Hotel

Tranquil Countryside Escape Just Minutes from the Cardiff Beat

Modern comfort meets classic country charm at the New House Country Hotel, nestled in the Welsh hills just outside Cardiff. With roaring log fires, sweeping views of the Vale of Glamorgan, and beautifully restored rooms, this hillside hotel offers a peaceful, stylish retreat only 15 minutes from the heart of Cardiff’s live music scene. It’s the perfect blend of rural relaxation and city convenience.

Why Concert-goers love it

While it feels a world away, New House Country Hotel is just a short 15-minute drive from Cardiff city centre's top concert venues. After the show, escape the bustle and unwind in peaceful surroundings—far enough for quiet, close enough for a quick ride back. Early check-in from 14:00 and check-out at 11:00 gives you flexibility to rest up before and after a big night out. On-site parking and easy access to the M4 make it a great pick for road-trippers.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want a scenic base with space to relax between shows
  • Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime gig and seeking comfort with character
  • Couples planning a romantic concert weekend
  • Fans needing a quiet place to recharge post-concert
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t mind a short drive for extra value and charm

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s restaurant is a local favourite, offering hearty Welsh dishes and fine dining with a view. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the warm hospitality and quality of food more than make up for it. If you’re heading out late, plan ahead—but breakfast is available in the morning, perfect after a late night out.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself is more about starlit tranquility than nightlife, Cardiff’s buzzing music bars, clubs, and pubs are just a taxi ride away. It’s ideal if you want to join the party and then return to peace and quiet. No on-site live music, but the setting is a vibe all its own.

What People Say

Guests rave about the stunning views, friendly staff, and the characterful rooms with period features. Many highlight the hotel’s calm atmosphere and the convenience of being close to the city without the noise. The grounds and countryside surroundings also get consistent praise.

Areas for Improvement

If you’re relying solely on public transport, the location might feel a bit remote—though taxis and ride-shares are readily available. Some guests mention that late-night food options are limited, so a post-gig snack run may need planning.

The Bottom Line

If you're after a peaceful, picturesque base with quick access to Cardiff’s concert venues, the New House Country Hotel hits all the right notes.

Disliked: Would of been better to have larger style pillows as they felt a bit small The breakfast menu was a little confusing as we weren't sure if it was a choice of buffet continental or cooked breakfast. We found out after we had eaten it was possible to have both of you wanted
