Coldra Court Hotel by Celtic Manor (8)

Just across the road from the main Celtic Manor Resort, Coldra Court offers a quieter, more low-key way to experience the same championship golf. Guests have full access to three on-site courses, the world-famous Twenty Ten, host of the Ryder Cup, plus the Roman Road and Montgomerie for a different pace of round, while returning each evening to a simpler, more relaxed hotel than the main resort building. Rooms are comfortable and unfussy, dining is casual and convenient, and guests still get full run of Celtic Manor's wider facilities, including its restaurants, bars and large spa complex. Just off the M4 and about 30 minutes from Cardiff, it's an easy, good-value base for a golf-focused break.
