Top 10 Three Salmons Hotels

I booked for a one night stay with nine family members the night before a funeral. All our rooms were lovely, ( my cousins room smelled of smoke but they changed her room quickly , quite late in the evening too, so no complaints there ) . My Aunt needed a wheelchair accessible room and again no problems. My room was a large double with a sofa, it would have slept four but I had it to myself, it cost the same as a single so why not have extra space. It had great air con, a good quality tv, tea and coffee making facilities, a lovely shower room ( clever design ) , a hair drier, everything you’d need and expect for a reasonably priced chain hotel. Free parking and plenty of it ( do not forget to put your reg into the iPad at reception ) . The free breakfast was great, buffet style with bacon, eggs, sausage, toast, croissants, cereal, yogurt and fruit. The only downside was it’s out of the town the only place in walking distance is the pub next door, however the pub next door is fantastic, with beautiful food which I thought was very reasonable considering the excellent quality. The hotel also serves food and has a bar. To summarise it’s a great hotel, with great facilities, I paid £99 through bookings.com , others in our party paid less and some more, between £97 a room to £125 , but we all got value for money.

My daughter booked this for a spa day for us. Sadly I wouldn’t recommend didn’t feel spa like at all. The girls in the spa were lovely but whilst having what was meant to be a relaxing massage all you could hear was loud music from a fitness class so couldn’t switch off. Had to be asked to be shown around and charged £10 for robe and slippers. Lunch was ok but for very little was £50 The pool area only had 6 beds in total other than that was chairs. Just not the relaxing spa day you would expect then there was no staff in the pool area where 3 young lads proceeded to keep water bombing in the pool so we didn’t go in. I’d avoid this if you wanted a relaxing peaceful day.

Situated in the countryside outside Newport, just off the bypass. Plenty of parking, I think free. Reasonable amenities for our weekend function, though the Wi-Fi was weak at times and crashed periodically. Respectable food and dining facilities, not top quality, but okay, bearing in mind the discounted price. Decent bar, though the wine wasn't cheap. The beer was. Rather disorganised staff on arrival, they unsure what rooms were ready. They were also reluctant to print airline boarding passes, though did so when emailed to the desk. There were quite a number of radiators on in the hotel, plus a bathroom heated towel rail in my room, making it uncomfortably warm at times - this was May. The bedroom was comfortable enough, if a bit battered in places, plus the toilet leaked water into the bowl continually. There was no soap, only liquid dispensers. Could best be described as cheap and functional (largely).

After watching the hot air balloon from Bristol, I found this resort on the way to Cardiff. The room and breakfast are great! The price of the hotel can live in such a five-star hotel really worth it! The only dissatisfaction is that it takes 15 pounds a night to park overnight.

Visited for lunch yesterday (Sunday 25th September) and as we have eaten here literally hundreds of times over the years we pretty much knew what to expect. Have never been let down by either the food or service. However yesterday was exceptional, I had some of, if not the best cooked fish I have ever eaten, and that includes a number of Michelin star restaurants both in the uk and abroad. Fish is simple to cook, but hard to cook really well, the chef here nailed it. Every member of staff we encountered were brilliant, polite, helpful and a credit to the hotel. Will be back next month .

What a wonderful place! We weren't meant to go here but the restaurant we had booked for our Girls Christmas lunch had closed down. Littlest Foodie found this place and as soon as I checked out the website and saw the Alpine Specials menu and the photos we had to give it a go. We weren't disappointed. As soon as we stepped inside we could have been in a Swiss Chalet. LF & I arrived first so had a hot chocolate & Baileys by the fire whilst we waited for Eldest Foodie. The Fräulein's looking after us were so lovely and the experience was made even better with them being in traditional style Swiss dress. We were able to mix and match between the menus and the food was great. Being a large establishment made up of different smaller rooms on split levels makes it feel so intimate and cosy. So we will be visiting again very soon. Hubby & I will stay over then in one of the cosy looking rooms which are very reasonably priced. Thank you everyone & we all wish you a very Merry Christmas
