The rooms have all gone through beautiful refurbishments, the superior and deluxe rooms offer everything you need for that perfect escape to the country. Each one is individually designed with comfort and elegance in mind and each room has been given a name relevant to the river Usk, the Kindly Kingfisher, The Happy Heron, or The Peaceful Perch. We stayed in the Dashing Dace
The Dashing Dace was fitted out with a King bed, stylish En suite bathroom, roll top bath and upgraded luxury Penhaligon toiletries.
The room also contained Dyson hairdryer, Dyson hot & cold air fan, coffee pod machine, & large TV.
A wonderful touch was the thoughtful extras, for your use when you went out in the countryside there are, walking sticks, umbrella’s , even a shoehorn there for your use.
All the rooms have stunning views over the river Usk and the bridge that the Hotel gets its name from, you can watch the wildlife on the riverside, see the salmon jumping out of the water in the evening all in the most idyllic of surroundings as the sun goes down. Then in the morning you can sit out with a coffee and listen to the dawn chorus and watch nature awaking.
Dining
A fantastic dining experience
The Newbridge is a five-star award winning restaurant is renowned for its fish dishes and it’s ‘fine’ dining menu.
We were able to appreciate the views from the restaurant as it overlooks the historic bridge and beautiful river as we enjoyed our pre-dinner drinks and studied the menu.
The from comprehensive menu for the starter we had the Newbridge Fish Platter for two with nine types of seafood tasters to indulge in.
I followed this with pan fried cod and green vegetables while my partner had the British Beef Sirloin fries and sides.
This was accompanied by a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc.
While we rounded off with a selection from the cheese board before retiring to the balcony outside for cocktails.
This was a beautiful meal and was cooked and prepared absolutely to perfection by the chef and throughout the service was impeccable, the full experience was perfect – five out of five.
