This was a base for our 7 day exploration of a corner of South Wales and it delivered that superbly. The proximity of major roads, the Valleys and places of interest made our stay successful. Staff are lovely and work very hard to keep the grounds looking great. Although it didn’t ruin our holiday it needs to be said that road, helicopter, siren noise is very obvious throughout the night and may affect some people more than others. We found a decent size Asda five minutes drive away in Duffryn which was useful for provisioning. However, we found it impossible to find somewhere to eat nearby which was of a decent standard, which is a shame. A public bus X5 stops nearby and will get you to Cardiff although we couldn’t find this info in the site’s “info shed”? Comments about the poor state of the showers still apply I’m afraid. Although they are clean the floor is deteriorating fast and needs replacing. While we were there a boiler needed attention and so some of the showers and basins were closed for use. Symptoms of a need for refurbishment perhaps?
