Set in the famous and beautiful Rhondda Valley, the hotel is an ideal base from which to explore South Wales. The Brecon Beacons National Park, and Cardiff, are only twenty minutes away by car. The Rhondda Valleys are transformed from being the centre of heavy engineering and mining, to being green and lush. They retain their sense of pride and traditional heritage, but combine it with a new optimism. Never has the phrase 'How green is my valley' been more appropriate.
