Wales vacation

[fitchv]

Anyone know where a family of 4 (children ages 13&11)
can stay, in Cardiff or Newport, for a reasonable or inexpensive rate. Any ideas outside of a hotel?

The Premier Lodge chain have a reasonable priced stay in Caerphilly. 10 mins from Cardiff and about 20 minutes from Newport. I know it's a hotel, but very good.
There is also a Brewers Fayre in Whitchurch which sometimes has specials and a very good 'eat as much as you like' restaurant. 10 mins from Cardiff.

NosDa@The Riverbank is sort of mid-way between being a hotel and a hostel. You could book 2 twin rooms,with en suite facilities, for �26 per person per night. (i.e. �104 per night). Or, you could book a 4-bedded mixed dorm, also with en suite facilities for �18.50 per person per night (i.e. �74 per night). Continental breakfast is included:

The Nomad Hostel is cheaper and also offers a choice of 2 twin-bedded rooms or a 4 bed dormitory. However, bathroom facilities are shared. Typical prices are �15 to �17.50 per person per night in twin bedded rooms (i.e. a total of �60 to �70 per night) or �14 to �16.50 per person per night in a dormitory. (i.e. �56 to �66 per night in total). Breakfast is included.

I can't find an independent website for the Nomad Hostel but you can find it (together with NosDa and a few others) at
http://www.hostelworld.com
(where you'll also be able to read reviews of the hostels).

If you have a tent, you could try Poncanna Fields which is a camp site in Cardiff. It is just a 10 minute walk from the Millenium Stadium and shops. It is right beside the Glamorgan Cricket Ground. You would not need a car. It is very rare to find a camp site so close to a City centre

Thanks to all for your suggestions, at least now I have some place to start as far inquires.
