Venue Overview

Thornhill, Cardiff

The Grade 2 listed New House is a serene and romantic country pile, originally built by a wealthy Welsh industrialist, Thomas Lewis in the 1730s. A country hotel located in the stunning Thornhill, just outside of Cardiff.

Description

We love its extraordinary natural brightness, all year round, whatever the weather. The picture windows perfectly frame the secluded rural idyll and sweeping views out beyond the Cardiff cityscape across the sea to Devon. It quietly takes your breath away. It’s a little oasis, just outside Cardiff, that country feel with the city views, the best of both worlds… and you certainly feel like you are on top of the World.

For complete jaw dropping wow, our view, our backdrop, our grounds have everything to make your day unforgettable from start to finish.

For the modern couple, our Wyndham Suite provides the perfect blank canvas with large windows and a secluded patio.

Our Garden Marquee is simply exquisite with its beautiful drapes and woodland backdrop.

Looking for something outdoors with the security of an indoor feel? Standing proud with the city backdrop is our glistening Glass Pergola, a wow factor like no other. The rolling hills, tree lined driveway, rustic bandstand and secluded swing make the perfect secret spots for those romantic album shots too.

We had the most amazing day from check-in until check-out. The amazing coordinators, Cath & Emily, were so helpful with all the planning.

On the day we had Yas, who managed the wedding, he was incredible! So hands-on and helpful, being a wedding coordinator myself, I really thought I wouldn't …

switch off from work mode, but everything ran seamlessly.

The bar tenders in the MQ were so nice and helpful, all my guests commented on how bubbly they were and how quick the service was.

All in all, the perfect day, and I am so sad it's over.

Cath and the team were so helpful in the run-up to the day, especially as we don’t live in the same city as the venue, so we were emailing and calling with a lot of questions - everything was answered promptly and kindly, and all of our needs were accommodated! Everything about the venue was …

fantastic, from the venue location to the absolutely fantastic food and the extremely helpful and friendly staff. Our guests are still sending in their compliments now about how magical the venue was and how delicious the food was. Everyone had a wonderful time, and now we hope that someone else we know gets married at the venue so we can experience being guests there!

We got married in August at the New House and we couldn’t have asked for a better venue! The communication I had leading up to the wedding was flawless and then the actual day itself was spectacular. As the bride I didn’t have to worry about anything and everything I had asked of the venue was …

perfect when it came to the ceremony and wedding breakfast decor. The food was amazing and the guests all complimented on the food too and how good it was. 100% I would recommend the New House as a wedding venue, not just for the views and the beauty of the place but for everything else too. The events team were lovely and were so helpful! Thank you for our perfect day. From the newlyweds, The Faiths x

We had the most incredible wedding at the New House Country Hotel. We can't recommend the venue enough! The staff were fantastic from start to finish. During the planning stage, they were very attentive and responded to all of our queries straight away. On the day, they were extremely organised and …

sorted out any and every little thing we needed. The staff are also extremely friendly and kind, making the atmosphere so lovely throughout the planning and the day itself. Even our friends and family remarked how fantastic everything was.
The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and the ideal space to host a wedding - it's the perfect backdrop for amazing, timeless photos. The rooms are also beautiful - the bridal getting ready room is spectacular and makes the perfect space for the bridal party to get ready. I would highly recommend having your wedding at the New House Country Hotel.
