We are now sold out for golf breaks until October and we have limited availability for spa and leisure breaks in September. Nestled within a 650-acre private estate in the beautiful South Wales countryside, the Vale Resort is far more than your average luxury hotel. A firm Welsh favourite, with a warm Welsh welcome we pull out all the stops to ensure you feel right at home, whether you're here for work or pleasure.
We're warm and attentive, but never pretentious. That's not to say you won't find all the trappings you'd expect from a top four-star resort. Our facilities are definitely world class, but we'd prefer you be the judge of that. You can do as much, or as little, as you choose when you stay with us. For the energetic there's two championship golf courses, tennis and squash courts, a 20m pool and state-of-the-art gym.

There has always been a degree of good living to be found in this part of South Wales. Back in the 15th century, the Vale Resort was known as the Hensol Estate and, for several centuries, Hensol Castle was home to prominent Vale of Glamorgan families. Judges, bankers and members of parliament all once called this land home, sharing our love of the local landscape, known affectionately by many as 'the garden of Cardiff'.

Always professional and willing to go the extra mile, Laura and Katie will be your dedicated wedding co-ordinator and will help you through the whole planning process from the early stages to the final details.

If you've said 'yes' and are now looking for the perfect South Wales wedding venue in which to say 'I do', then the Vale Resort can help make your dream wedding a reality. We don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to your big day. Frankly, when you've got 650 acres to play with, not to mention a luxury hotel and an army of experienced staff at your disposal, why would you settle for anything less than extraordinary?
Health and fitness is at the heart of what we do. As we're the training venue and hotel of choice for the likes of Wales' national rugby and football teams, it's no surprise we take our gym and leisure facilities seriously. The Vale Resort's state-of-the-art gym has 55 cutting-edge cardiovascular machines, plus a high-intensity interval training (or HIIT) zone and free weights area, so there's no shortage of equipment, even at peak times.

My wife and I joined a couple of months ago and we have not regretted it at all. The staff are very polite, attentive and always ready to help with all requests. The facilities are excellent and the gym has lots of different pieces of equipment to enjoy. We also really love the pool steam room hot tub and spa area. They even have an electronic whizzy thing to dry your swimming shorts in the changing rooms and they provide shower gel in the showers which smells really nice too.
What more do you need when you want to chill out question my wife and I highly recommend this place. It is very relaxing

With ample public spaces, white decor, numerous comfortable upscale rooms and a car park big enough to serve an entire retail park, this is very much a wedding hotel. The attached gym has an excellent high-ceiling pool that is plenty large enough for lap swimming. The grounds are big enough for a pleasant stroll down to the lake. I expect this venue would do any nuptial couple proud.

Enjoyed the visit despite the weather. Disappointed that I was booked into a room, with a double bed when I needed it to be singles. A late night change sorted it out but changing rooms at 2300 wasn't fun ! The rooms have always been amazing in the past and, with a superb range in the breakfast bar, provide a good start if you are playing either of the courses !!

My husband and I stayed at the vale on 5.11.21 for a one night stay to include 3 course dinner in the Vale Grill which is described as fine Dining. Not the case. The menu was not as advertised online. Lots of the choices had been deleted off the menu leaving a very limited choice. My husband had decided during the afternoon to have the 8oz sirloin. Unfortunately this was not on the menu and had been replaced with a 6oz ribeye steak (with £5 supplement) and was was dreadful. For the price it was very bad value for money. My chicken supreme (thought this was a white wine cream sauce) came as a piece

Amazing staff, really friendly and helpful! Beautiful spa, thoroughly enjoyed my massage. Evening meal and breakfast at the restaurant was fantastic. My only suggestion would be to extend the menu to give more variety to cater for Gluten free dietary requirements. All in all I had a fantastic time and will 100% be staying again!
