Hotels aren't what they used to be. Is The Newbridge a restaurant-with-rooms? Or a gastro-pub? Or a funky new country-chic bolthole, a contemporary interpretation of the old country inn? Truth be told, it's all of these, a dynamic blend of today's styles within the context of a traditional building. We can all agree on one thing: it's certainly new. A few years ago The Newbridge was a humble country pub. Now, after a clever floor-to-ceiling makeover, it's one of a zestful new breed that is bringing freshness and fashion to Wales's hotel and restaurant scene. There are at least two very good reasons why you should sample The Newbridge. First, there's the food. Like the place itself, it's modern and inventive yet reliant on fresh, local ingredients, and served in a relaxed atmosphere by friendly and efficient young staff. Then there are the superb bedrooms. They combine style with sybaritic comfort (there's not the merest hint of modish minimalism here). Warm and cosseting, they boast high-quality features such as oak and teak furniture, oak floors and beautiful Tuscan-influenced marble- and limestone-tiled bathrooms. There's a third reason too: the location. The Newbridge overlooks a peaceful stretch of the River Usk. It's set in beautiful, peaceful countryside, yet is easily accessible and only a short drive from a wealth of places to visit &endash; Roman Caerleon, Cardiff and the Wye Valley. For golfers, the Celtic Manor Resort is on the doorstep. Your host at The Newbridge is Michael Obray.
