  SUGGESTIONS  
  To enhance your stay....  
     
  Sightseeing  
 

Cardiff is the cosmopolitan capital city of Wales, well served by its own international airport, national railway network and close to the M4 motorway.

The recently developed Cardiff Bay area, in which the hotel is located, is only five minutes from the city centre. Adjacent to the hotel is Mermaid Quay, which offers a wide range of restaurants, bars and entertainment, providing a vibrant extension to the attractions within the city centre. The new Welsh Parliament and the Welsh National Opera will also be found there.

The National Museum & Gallery, located in the city centre, has the largest collection of Impressionist paintings outside Paris; the Millennium Stadium has established itself as a popular venue for major sports events and concerts and is only five minutes from the hotel by car; and the quaint shopping arcades provide a glimpse of Cardiff-past and complement the modern shopping facilities now available.

The surrounding countryside and the Brecon Beacons provide a picturesque perimeter to the city, and it is worth making time for a tour along the picturesque coastline and around the numerous castles which form the heritage of Wales.

  
     
  Theatre  
 

The Wales Millennium Centre is an exciting international arts complex, which hosts musicals, opera, ballet and. The New Theatre, a restored Edwardian Playhouse, is home to touring theatre productions while new material tends to be put on at the Sherman.

St David's Hall has a mixture of stand-up and classical concerts (the Welsh Proms are held here), while the Cardiff International Arena welcomes big touring music acts.

Chapter Arts Centre is a thriving cultural complex a short walk from the city centre, with dance, theatre, fine art and art-house film screenings. Back in the centre of town, blockbuster movies come to the UGC cinema multiplex on Mary Ann Street and there is another big multiplex, Vue Cinemas, next to the Millennium Stadium near the train station .

  
     
     
GOLF
 
 
 
Pennard
  
 

Pennard Golf Club is located 8 miles west of Swansea in the Gower Peninsula, an area of outstanding natural beauty. Golf has been played there since 1896, The holes are routed over classically undulating and tumbling linksland, full of hummocks, hillocks and hollows and pocked with dunes large and small. Yet this exceptional terrain is not beside the shore - It is two hundred feet above it. No wonder Pennard has been called "the links in the sky." There is not a weak or a prosaic hole on this t gorse and heather framed course.

  
       
 
Royal Porthcawl
  
 
Despite being the highest ranked course in Wales, Royal Porthcawl remains relatively unknown.The course has a magnificent setting sloping down to the seashore. The absence of sand hills usually found on links courses enables the golfer to see the sea from every hole and to enjoy memorable views south to Somerset and Exmoor, and northwest across Swansea Bay to the Gower Peninsula. With holes facing into every point of the compass, the player is always tested by the wind and will probably need every club in the bag.
 
       
 
Tenby
  
 

This is one of the finest and least well-known golf courses in the whole of the British Isles.  It is here you will find links golf at its most natural. There is nothing modern about Tenby, but it’s an amazing experience. Many shots are blind, the contoured greens are hard and fast, and there are snaking hog’s back fairways, dense gorse, cruel pot bunkers and rugged dunes.

 
       
 
Pyle & Kenfig
 
 

Pyle and Kenfig, commonly known as P&K, is one of Wales’s finest links courses. Its famous regal neighbour, Royal Porthcawl, lies next door. But make no mistake, Pyle and Kenfig is almost as great as the mighty Porthcawl. Breathtaking views of Welsh mountains, Rest Bay and the Bristol Channel can be seen from this old links course, which was founded in 1922 and originally designed by Harry Colt. Drink in the view from the 14 th tee – the panorama towards the Gower Peninsula is stunning. Pyle & Kenfig’s last three holes (all long par fours) are amongst the best closing holes in golf.

 
       
       
 
OTHER GOLF OPTIONS CLOSE BY
 
       
 
Ashburnham
  
 

Ashburnham is one of the finest and oldest golf courses in Wales, founded in 1894, with fine views over Carmarthen Bay.  A number of important events have been hosted here, including the PGA Championship. The first two and the last two holes are somewhat out of character with the rest, having an inland feel. But the holes in between are the real thing – undiluted linksland.  By the time you reach the 3rd hole, you’re running parallel to the sea and often into the teeth of the prevailing wind. This historic links is an absolute delight and is guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

 
       
 
Southerndown
  
 

Southerndown's elevated site, high above the Ogmore River Valley, provides arresting views across the Bristol Channel. Over time, sand has blown up from the seashore, coming to rest on the rolling slopes and giving the turf at Southerndown a rather links-like character. In fact, you would be hard pressed to categorise the course - it's quite unique, but one thing is for sure, it's absolutely natural. There are no trees or artificial water hazards, just bracken, gorse and bunkers waiting to trap the wayward drive
