Best Western Premier Heronston Hotel & Spa

Sticking to your fitness goals while you’re on a decadent spa break can be a tough sell. But the hotel’s fabulous Leisure Club will make you want to take a break from all the splurging, pampering and treating yourself. No, really! 

The fully-refurbished gym is kitted out with state-of-the-art equipment, including weights and cardio kit. You can have a workout then relax in the sauna!

Like a bit of vitamin D while you feel the burn? Grab a map from Reception and head out for a walk. There are a wide range of walking and cycling routes available throughout Bridgend County Borough that let you enjoy the Glamorgan Heritage Coast and countryside while you stroll.

Days of indulgence should alway be followed by evenings full of delicious food and drinkie poos. And luckily, the Heronston Hotel doesn’t disappoint! Here’s where to head for your post-pampering sustenance.

Ewennys Bar & Grill

Time for a drink before dinner? Head to cosy and contemporary Ewennys for a tipple by the fire. Enjoy a local craft beer or cocktail, and sample some of the bar snacks. Crispy Cockle Popcorn, anyone?

Crane Restaurant

Named after the famous heron that used to adorn the building in days gone by, the Crane Restaurant wins rave rewards for its locally-sourced food. Tuck into Welsh aged steaks, cooked just how you like them. Or try the ever-changing menu of chef’s signature dishes in this elegant space.

There is, and it’s a beauty. Don’t forget to pack your swimming costume because the curved lines of this kidney-shaped, 15m pool is so inviting. Atmospherically lit, this relaxing haven also has a sauna and steam room to bask in.

Of course! Best Western Premier Heronston Hotel & Spa has 75 beautifully refurbished bedrooms which make extending your spa day into a spa stay a real temptation. Choose from room categories that range from Standard and Deluxe to Superior, to family rooms that let you all spread out. Suites have patio doors opening directly onto a patio area and surrounding garden.

Yes it is, with designated disabled car parking spaces, level access to reception and a lift to all floors. There’s one accessible bedroom fully fitted with handrails, an electronic bath seat, lowered light switches and bed blocks to raise the bed.

For spa packages, arrival times vary, so please check your booking confirmation. If you’re here on an overnight stay, check-in to the hotel is at 3pm. On your day of departure, check-out is at 10.30am. 

Light sleeper who likes an early night? Bring some earplugs. The hotel holds events and functions - party celebrations may be audible at times.

It’s just outside of Bridgend, and equidistant from the vibrant capital of Cardiff and the cosmopolitan coastal city of Swansea. Although the hotel has a semi-rural location, you’re still only about half a mile from the city centre so you can stroll to the shops if you wish. Or hop in the car and head to the Glamorganshire heritage coastline.

It sure is. While treatments at the spa are for those aged 18 and over, children are welcome at the hotel - it’s called a Best Western Family Favourite! You’ll find free ice-cream rituals and family games, and kids can splash in the pool on weekdays everyday between 7am and 9am and 5pm and 7pm. 

There’s plenty of family-friendly activities nearby. Little explorers will love Folly Farm, while Oakwood Park has big rides for teens. The hotel is also within easy reach of Wales' natural adventure park - the Brecon Beacons.

Yes it is, but you’ll have to book in advance as pet-friendly rooms are limited. Your pampered pooch can stay with you in a Deluxe Double for £10, per pet, per night.

No, but if you like to pamper and putt, you’re in the right place. The Heronston Hotel is located within striking distance of two of the best golf courses in the country - Southerndown and Royal Porthcawl.
