Finde Hotels in Newport

This guest house perfectly fit into our Pembrokeshire hike along the Welsh coast. The location was just off streams, fields and trees. Our rooms were spacious and comfortable, including a large and clean bathroom with the strong water pressure you want after a day's hike. Perhaps we didn't care much for the wooden board up at the end of the bed, but that's because we are very tall guys. The owner, Mark, very kindly offered us a ride to a restaurant we had booked in the nearby village. It was clear that he and his wife Jan deeply understand hospitality, from long and interesting experience in Asia. They manage to bring both professional service and a family vibe to the place. The highlight for us was the sumptuous breakfast buffet and menu, the very best we had on the trail. At the Ivybridge, we felt taken care of and had great fun!

The hotel is conveniently located to walk to all of Cardigan town centre. Parking is limited immediately around the hotel but we found a free car park about 3-4 minutes walk away on Gloster Row - turn right at the Red Lion and it's by the river. The room was large and had recently been refurbished to a high standard. It had a large super king size bed with a comfortable upholstered headboard to lean back on. There is plenty of storage space with a wardrobe and drawer space there is also multiple double electric points to plug in or charge your phones etc. The TV has limited channels, but we weren't there to watch TV, so not a problem and we took our own tea and coffee out of preference. A small hairdryer is available to use and ther is an iron & ironing board in the wardrobe. The bathroom is also spacious with a walk in shower cubicle and modern toilet and wash basin. There is shampoo, shower gel, handwash and moisturiser in refillable bottles with pump dispensers. Plenty of hot water and towels, which were changed once on a 4 night stay. There is no bar or meals served at the hotel, but there are plenty of independent cafes, restaurants and bars nearby. Reception is only staffed from 3-9pm, and the staff were all friendly and polite. You can access the hotel with your room card at any time via a side entrance, but remember to leave your card in your room or the downstairs box when you leave. The hotel is home to Cardigan's only nightclub on occasional weekends which would make the place very noisy, but we were there Monday - Friday and it was very quiet. Would definitely recommend as a base to visit Cardigan and the surrounding area.
