Once part of a 17th-century country estate, this is now a stylish and modern hotel. It is set on 280 acres (113 hectares) of private parkland in the picturesque Vale of Glamorgan and near the Cardiff city center. The main attraction is golf; 18 and nine-hole courses are on offer and golfing breaks are a specialty. But the countryside setting and leisure facilities including tennis, squash and a 20-meter pool, means non-golfers will be kept happily busy too. Golfing facilities include a driving range and practice area and the courses offer plenty of challenges. The vast leisure complex offers a wide range of facilities, including pool, spa and exercise equipment, and a children's club means that parents can relax in peace.
