Newbridge on Usk
Gourmet Welsh dining in a riverside country inn
About this hotel
Newbridge on Usk pairs elegant guestrooms with a rustic restaurant serving gourmet Welsh cuisine, its riverside setting along the Usk giving it a genuinely different character from Celtic Manor's own restaurants or a city hotel. Free breakfast and free parking keep the essentials simple, while the country-inn scale suits a smaller group or couple better than a large society's table for eight. A drive from the Twenty Ten Course, it works best as one standout evening within a longer multi-night trip rather than the trip's main base, and the kid-friendly rooms mean a mixed group can still book here for a night without needing a separate arrangement for younger guests.

Our take
Newbridge on Usk suits a couple or smaller group wanting one genuinely memorable dinner and a riverside room during a longer golf trip, its gourmet Welsh cuisine unmatched nearby. A large society needing many rooms together for shared logistics is better served by the resort's main hotel or a Newport-based option instead.
- Book the restaurant well ahead for weekend evenings; its gourmet Welsh cuisine draws diners from across the wider Usk Valley area.
- Reserve a room alongside dinner if staying overnight, since the property's small scale means both can sell out on busy weekends.
- Pair a later tee time with dinner the night before, since the riverside setting rewards a relaxed evening over an early exit.

Why guests love itBooking one night at Newbridge on Usk after two rounds at Celtic Manor gave the trip its most memorable dinner, gourmet Welsh cooking that none of the resort's own restaurants quite matched. The riverside setting along the Usk made the evening feel like a genuine change of pace rather than another clubhouse meal. Free breakfast the next morning set up an easy drive back to the Twenty Ten Course. One night here became the story everyone told after the trip.
