This is a great place to go and take pictures, to collect wildflowers or simply to get some peace and quiet. Walks around the resorvoir can get muddy and slippery and in some areas there were fallen trees but it is worth it to view the area. Perfect for a picnic.

My experience of Marconi Holiday Villages is mostly limited to the on-site pub. My primary reason…read morefor visiting this pub was not because I am a beer guzzling wench, but to play a gig - the Sprocket fest to be precise. The Sprocket fest is an annual bikers festival held on the site over the weekend. The pub itself is a good size, with a small children's playground outside and inside views over a pool! Unfortunately I didn't bring my bathers. Apparently the site has several pools, although I only saw the one, which looked incredibly clean and inviting. After finishing our set, I had a wonder around. You wouldn't know that you were only a stones through away from the Capital. Even though this was a bikers festival it was serene and the views were gorgeous. I havn't stayed here, so I can't tell you what the bungalows are like, but they looked really sweet from the outside, some have sea views and small gardens and according to their website 'chalets' vary from 2-3 bedrooms. Camping I was told on my visit is now limited to two or three days a year after a particularly rowdy bunch from Cardiff turned up one evening. This is sad because the night I visited Marconi Holiday Villages was one of those rare nights where camping was allowed and the set up looked fantastic. As a keen camper and even living so near by, I would certainly consider camping here if it ever became an option again.

Of the Travelodge's in Cardiff you'll defiantly get a more peaceful stay here and I think location…read morewise its got a lot to offer. Its a just a few minutes walk from the Millennium Centre and all the activities and eateries of the bay, while still being just a 15 minute walk into the city centre but with a bus stop outside too. Its only a few years old so all everything is very modern and clean and comfortable. Obviously your not going to get luxury from Travelodge but the bed was comfy and I was quite happy with the spacious room. I think its also cheaper than the town version and has onsite parking.

The only downsides I associate with travelodges are their often tired, worn out and uninspired decor and their unromantic motorway side locations. No so with the Travelodge at Atlantic Wharf Cardiff bay. They have obviously tried to create a bit of a flagship model hotel for the group here. It's light, airy, bright and clean plus its only 2 minutes walk to the bars and restaurants of Cardiff Bay and 10 minutes to the City Centre. So if you're not planning a romantic weekend you could do a lot worse than book this during one of its many offer periods.

There is a small tower too at one corner which is good for views - or to take shelter from the rain and wind! If the weather is better there are many benches around the perimeter of the gardens.

The waterfalls are amazing and the damp drippy green valley a wonder to walk along. There are pools which are fun to play in in summer. Sgwd Gwladys (Gwladys' waterfall) is about a kilometer from the car park I believe. There is a pub, and there are clean public toilets near the car park. Take sturdy boots if walking in winter as the path can be muddy. Not suitable for wheelchairs.

The best place to start the walk is next to the Angel Inn at Pontneddfechan where there is a rocky path which leads you through the woods alongside the River Nedd Fechan. You will need to allow a good hour in both directions and the path is uneven and even dangerous when wet and slippery, so not suitable for everyone (there are several warning signs) and sturdy shoes are a must. You pass an old mill and the entrance to a disused silica mine. Further along, the Nedd Fechan and Pyrddin meet and the path now borders the Pyrddin. The first waterfall to see is the Sgwd Gwladys, a lovely sight. It's possible to climb behind the falls as well though I haven't done this myself! Further along you'll come to more waterfalls including the Horseshoe Falls and the Lower and Upper Ddwli Falls. There are lovely views everywhere of the falls and trees overhanging the river. Well worth a visit.

They do serve a full breakfast from 0700 to 0900 and have their own on site pub that is everything you expect of a traditional pub. The drinks are reasonably priced and the atmosphere is quite jovial. There's even a inflated jump house out back for the children plus picnic tables if you want to drink, smoke, or just enjoy the fresh air. The television is a bit small but you do get SKY television channels so that's a plus but the most impressive thing is the staff. They are always polite, courteous, and cheerful and always checking to make sure you have everything you need.
