Newbridge on Usk

Luxury night stay very well appointed and comfortable in a stunning setting. Highly recommend if you are in the area. Roll top bath and pod coffee make. My wife was very excited at the use of a Dyson hair drier. Very friendly and helpful staff. A real treat for a one night stop over.

We were gifted a voucher for a Sunday stay at the hotel for a special occasion. The package included overnight stay, Sunday lunch to include a bottle of champagne and continental breakfast. We couldn’t fault anything about the visit. The accommodation was absolutely gorgeous and included everything you would expect from a top class hotel. We were very comfortable, able to relax and sleep well. The food and service were excellent throughout the stay and we look forward to a return visit.

Stay was nice enough.. the room itself was comfortable. Booked a balcony room, but the balcony itself was pretty cobwebby and only had one chair, so we couldn’t sit outside together and enjoy the morning sunshine. Bathroom was quite dusty around the edges which I was quite surprised by! If you’ve stayed at the resort, be aware that the breakfast is only continental, no cooked elements at all which I think is a bit of shame.

We booked a room here based on the website description. What the website doesn't make clear is that there are no bedrooms in the hotel building itself. Instead the rooms are in a bedroom block in the hotel car park. We had booked the room with a balcony, expecting, perhaps naively, that we would have a lovely view, as the location of the hotel is on the beautiful river Usk. We did have a view of - you guessed it - the car park! The website really should make clear that the rooms are not on site. Dinner was also a bit disappointing. It was a Sunday evening, so there was only the Sunday roast menu available. I ordered the beef which was very over-done and came with the driest Yorkshire pudding ever. Vegetables were very good though, and my husband's starter of Caesar salad was excellent. Service was OK but felt a bit scripted. I think the management of this place needs to decide whether it's a pub - in which case, let people get their drinks from the bar rather than waiting an age to be served at a table, or a restaurant with rooms, in which case it really needs to up its game. Breakfast is continental only and the selection is quite thin, for example there is only one sort of bread (brown) and one sort of not very nice cheese, along with ham, salami and smoked salmon. Veggies are not very well catered for. Not great value for the price of the rooms.

Very rare to have a pub lunch better than I could make at home but this was exceptional. Makrel starter and roast beef were fantastic. Live music was great too. Lemon meringue pie was not great but everything else was. Kids food was also good. Staff very friendly and professional. Food a little slow (especially the desert) but I am nit picking now.

Sadly my stay was not great.|I had three people on three seperate occasion try and break into my room at night, although it was quite obviously locked and had the room name on the door. Very disoncerting as a solo female travelloe. It was also very noisy as the room above sounded as if the removel men had moved in. Furniture being dragged around and 'hob nail boots'. A disturbed two nights sleep alround.|I tried to feel better about having an evening meal But also sadly incredibly disappointing. The prawn cocktail was so heavily drowned in cayenne pepper it burnt my lips, and the very small peice of chicken was drenched in a very heavy overpowering sauce.|All in all a very disappointing trip to this pub hotel.

Fabulous hotel and restaurant, an absolute hidden gem. I will definitely come back to stay again with my family. The service was fantastic, thoroughly professional and friendly. I really enjoyed my stay

Considering I am not the best for eating vegetables , I ate everything as the flavours were incredible, I had Lamb, my fishing ghillie had beef, both incredible, and what a beautiful setting. When fishing, often had a pint here , but this was my first meal and it was high end, service was great . Loved it , thank you team.
