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.

No Signs of Improvement for...

Liked: Location is the only star here, a view not to be beaten.
Disliked: Rooms are looking very tired - spend some money guys, especially in the older part . Been staying here for @25 years now and the only reason we come back is lack of other venues......eye off the ball and things are looking a bit shabby.Breakfast also very poor for the price we paid........we may have to go Premier Inn route next time....its just not worth it.

Wish all hotels were like...

Liked: Location was very good for what we wanted to do. Room had a terrace which we really enjoyed . My husband has Alzheimers so prefers to be in a quiet location. The view from the room was amazing. Really big comfy bed. Lovely bathroom accessories. Excellent breakfast. Very impressed that most things were Welsh including the slate food markers. Staff went above and beyond for us. I am a gardener and attention to detail in grounds is good to see.
Disliked: Stay not long enough but will be back!

Exquisite hotel, huge potential, will...

Liked: Fantastic rural location, with awesome views towards Cardiff Bay. Our standard double bedroom was so big and modern with again, fantastic views. Huge bathroom, everything was exceptional. Staff really polite.
Disliked: The dining room was soulless in the evening. All the infrastructure is there, the room is actually very lovely, but no ambient music, no candles, so quiet. Staff were delightful but absolutely no atmosphere, would not eat there if we stayed again, which is a shame as it could be magnificent. No cocktail menu seen for outside and the views are magnificent and could be such a cool place to hang out. Could market this beautiful hotel so much more. Staff at breakfast very polite, but need more training.
