Oh, this place. I…read morewas brought here as a surprise birthday present (I hate surprises, they make me horrendously nervous feeling unprepared, but this was an excellent one). We arrived later than we hoped, and were greeted with a warm and cheerful welcome, and directed to where we could find dinner in the area so late, which was gratefully received advice! We carried our bags up the narrow winding steps and awed over the room before rushing out for food. The cabin room, where we stayed, has the best views, and to appreciate this further, the four poster bed is raised to chest height on me (I'm 5'4"/5"), so you wake up to a view out to the estuary. The bathroom was lovely, with an excellent modern shower, all the rooms were adorned with ships in bottles, paintings, shells and various seaside memorabilia. The bed was comfy, there was a fridge outside on the landing with milk, and space to put your wine and bubbly, and a noisy lighthouse biscuit tin. You can take your bubbles up to the roof, and enjoy the bulb room, or the outside area with the hot tub, and tardis- you heard me right. I had an excellent night's sleep, and breakfast was amazing. Sharing a long table with the other guests, everything was lovely, including the true B&B judge, decent, not slimy, high pork content sausages, yay! And it was checked if we all liked dogs before a very friendly collie joined us. There is a fair amount of ghost banter, which isn't my thing, but we kept politely quiet, because it's interesting to hear all the same. I would definitely recommend this place, but you definitely need a car to get here and do the surrounding things- but a reasonably short drive to beautiful cardiff is great.

The West Usk Lighthouse is a quirky B&B moments from Newport, boasting romantic star gazing scenes…read morefrom the rooftop hot tub and mansize breakfasts to send you climbing back into your four-poster bed. Off the beaten track, down a long and winding road off the M4, its location is so secret even the locals don't know where it is. The Grade II-listed lighthouse is zombie B-movie gold: shabby-chic cabins, crashing waves, stone spiral staircase and a resident Dalek. Write the final chapter, jiggle about on the waterbed and throw your last penny into the wishing well. Chilled out and deceptively roomy, writers and couples will be in their element traipsing from bed to dining room to rooftop, taking in the panoramic views of the Welsh hills. The incense wafts in the hippies who come for the flotation tank, sauna and healing. Fight over five themed rooms and the outdoor yurt. Soak until your toes wrinkle in the jacuzzi, have a Love In or a movie-fest, float weightlessly in the tank or splash out in Cardiff. Owner Frank plays the perfect, jolly host and tells how he restored the semi-derelict 180-year-old lighthouse and got married here. Lows: *Hard to find and the winding dirt track is perilous in icy conditions *It's more laidback than luxurious, and they could do with overhauling some of the outdated theming *Low water pressure - the lack of a power shower is a major letdown *There's no dressing room next to the hot tub which makes the climb up and down the stairs cold and slippery *No dinner/room service Highs *Homely, cosy vibe and top notch service - even the lighthouse dog accompanies you for breakfast *Peaceful and romantic place to chillax, with plenty to do onsite, from hot tub star spotting to curling up with a DVD *Big breakfast in bright airy dining room with great views

The farmhouse itself is lovely, very warm, clean and comfortable and Charmaine and Chris couldn't have been more welcoming and friendly and breakfast was fresh and plentiful.

The only thing I would say to anyone planning to stay here is that you probably need to use a GPS unit to find it: it is right at the end of a very twisting single-track road but my old unit found it from the postcode without any problem.

I was part of a tour group who stayed here for one night - and one night was... a lot. As people in…read moreour group were saying, "I wouldn't let my dog stay here." It is utterly no frills, not even carpet or shower walls. There is WiFi, which was helpful since we're out-of-towners (out-of-continent-ers), and the front desk staff was polite and as helpful as they could be (helped with walking directions to a local pub!). We were in a handicap room and when one of my bunkmates accidentally pulled the cord, staff were at our door in a jiffy! It's a place to sleep, the doors locked, and there were no bugs - so I guess it wasn't really that bad, in hindsight.

Two of us stayed here at the Ibis hotel, from the outside looked rather like a war zone, and needed…read morea severe major clean from the outside. The perimeter of the hotel had high scale fencing that made it look more like a jail than a hotel. Rooms where definitely made on a budget alright, with toilet & shower in same room with no privacy. The rooms had no facility's but at least there was a tv. Beds felt like sleeping on a pile of bricks they where that hard, the rooms where not that warm either. A big issue that l have is that a member of staff walked into the room without knocking at 2.20am in the morning, what's that all about, imagine if you where a female on your own, I don't think think this was a secure hotel and if it was it certainly didn't feel like it. We where both asleep or at least trying to and there was no noise coming from our room so why would a member of staff just walk in without announcing themselves. Breakfast was the skimpiest that I've ever seen in my life, was definitely budget food, cheap bread, bought in micro muffins six slices of ham on a plate with a few bits of fruit thrown in. As far as hotels go that l would class as a faulty towers with the weird going ons here and definitely wouldn't go back here at recommend this place. I would feel safer sleeping in a car outside.
