Top Abercarn Hotel Reviews

Celtic Manor Resort

8/10 Good

"Great place to stay, golf driving range was great, lots of food options with a variety of restaurants. Loved the adults only floor of the hotel."

Novotel Cardiff Centre

8/10 Good

"Good Overall The staff were all very r helpful. The play area for kids was a great surprise. Dinner at the hotel restaurant was much better then I thought so good surprise again. The only downside is that the changing rooms for the fitness centre definitely needs some TLC. (Broken shower (as in the tap handle has completely fallen off), swimsuit dryer broken etc) but overall I would recommend especially if you are travelling with kids"

The Angel Hotel

8/10 Good

"Single room was ok, bed comfortable. There was a fan and the window opened a couple of inches but it was still hot. I didn't have cereals and would have had fruit but there was only what looked like tinned peaches or some berries. There were bananas and apples in the fruit bowl. Bacon, fried eggs, black pudding, sausages, tomatoes, baked beans and mushrooms were under hot plates and were fine apart from the mushrooms which looked very dry"

While summer (July and August) can be lovely with longer daylight hours, it can also be the busiest time, especially for popular outdoor spots.
