Our Inspector's view
Part of the Celtic Manor Resort complex, the Manor House is a 19th-century hotel that offers country-house charm combined with modern comforts. Sitting in beautiful landscaped gardens, it has traditionally styled bedrooms, three with four-posters. The Asian-inspired Pad restaurant is a real plus. Guests have access to all the hotel and leisure facilities at the resort; three challenging golf courses, a superb leisure complex and many other activities.

About the area
Discover Newport
The area of Newport neighbours Monmouthshire and is home to a cathedral city of the very same name again. Situated 12 miles from Cardiff, on the mouth of the River Usk, the Normans built a castle here. But Newport really grew up in the 19th century when its port became the place from which to export coal around the world – until Cardiff took over in the 1850s. It was also the site of the last large-scale armed insurrection in Britain, the Newport Rising of 1839.
The docks may have declined in importance, but Newport survived, building on manufacturing, engineering and service industries – some government departments are located here too, such as the passport office. The city is also reinventing itself. First off, it was granted city status in 2002, beating off competition from five other Welsh rivals, including Aberystwyth and Wrexham. It also opened the Usk footbridge in 2006, which won a number of awards, and attracted some big-name discount retail outlets. A few years later, it hosted the prestigious 2010 Ryder Cup at the nearby Celtic Manor Resort.
