Greenfields Llanwen
A low-key Llanwern base with its own golf facility
About this hotel
Greenfields Llanwen keeps its offer simple: unassuming rooms with DVD players and free Wi-Fi, a garden and patio for unwinding outdoors, and a golf facility on-site alongside the main draw of Celtic Manor's three courses a drive away. Its low-key character near the Newport Medieval Ship attraction suits a group wanting a quiet, uncomplicated base without resort pricing or city-centre noise, and the property's own golf facility gives guests a place to keep swings sharp between visits to the Twenty Ten Course itself. Kid-friendly rooms round out a base for a mixed group, and the garden setting gives the property a genuinely different feel from Newport's city-centre options. The property's own facility means a warm-up round is possible without driving anywhere before the main event.

Our take
This suits a group wanting a quiet, low-key base with its own golf facility for practice between rounds at Celtic Manor's main courses. Golfers wanting resort-style dining or a short walk to the Twenty Ten Course should look toward the resort's own hotels instead. It is not the choice for a group wanting resort-style dining or a short walk to the first tee.
- Use the on-site golf facility to warm up before driving out to Celtic Manor's main courses for the day's round.
- Visit the nearby Newport Medieval Ship attraction on a non-golf afternoon if the trip includes any downtime.
- Confirm drive time to your booked course before arrival, since this property sits a genuine distance from the estate.
Why we love it
- On-site golf facility for practice

Why guests love itHaving an on-site golf facility here meant a quick warm-up before the drive out to Celtic Manor's Twenty Ten Course each morning, something a city hotel couldn't have offered. The garden and patio gave the property a genuinely quiet feel after a long day on the course. A non-golf afternoon at the nearby Newport Medieval Ship broke up a trip otherwise built entirely around rounds. The low-key setting suited a smaller group better than a large society would have found comfortable.
