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.

From the start till the end, New House and their team were phenomenal. The team are very experienced and can help with you with any concerns and questions you may have. The team were always prompt to get back to us. They went above and beyond our expectations. They were willing to cater to our …

requests, such as dietary concerns for certain guests, and delivering a last minute BBQ on the Friday for our guests. The weekend itself was everything we had wished for and the day went perfectly. We could not recommend them enough, they made planning our wedding a joy.

We cannot thank the team enough for their help with our wedding.

We enjoyed the process from the very beginning. The packages were reasonable and very inclusive which meant we could spend less time organising all the small details but there was still plenty of choice to make the day personal and …

to our taste. Contact was excellent and all my endless queries were answered quickly and comprehensively.

The pre-wedding check was very thorough and reassured us everything was in hand and the day was going to be excellent. We were so excited with the improvements to the marquee and although it was lovely before it was 100% better and looked much more modern with the improvements.

We stayed in the Countess Suite the night before with the getting-ready room for the morning of the wedding. This was well worth it and made the morning run so smoothly. The day was absolutely brilliant and beautiful and we wish we could do it all again. Finally, all the little touches by the hotel (we won’t want to spoil them for future couples) made us feel so special! Thank you so much.

Newhouse Hotel was amazing from start to finish. Nothing and I mean nothing was too much trouble, when first booking they were honest and clear about what to expect.
They kept communication up throughout and were always available to answer the masses of questions we had and were also extremely …

accommodating with every change we had.

We already knew we loved the food before our big day but didn’t expect it to be such a hit as it was with the guests, today 4 months on people still talk about how amazing their meal was!

We were extremely lucky to be treated to the beautiful renovation of the marquee which is absolutely stunning!
I would recommend this venue to every bride and groom!
When booking I was initially sceptical about it also being a functional hotel but on the day the amazing staff make you feel that your the only people in the world, never mind on site.
The only thing that’s negative is I wish I could relive this day over and over again!

Not only is the view spectacular, but the staff at New House made our day feel easy.

There were no hidden costs. They gave prompt replies to questions and they made you feel like they were happy to give input into your day, even as people who have done this hundreds of times.

Being such a …

small team, you felt you were always talking to the same person, and Emily was a constant throughout our planning. We had relative flexibility to make the day our own and had to do absolutely nothing on the actual day. We both felt we had a great day and didn’t have the high-stress moments that other couples talk about with their days. There were little moments that made us feel special, like the snack box left in the bridal suite and the adorable personalised lovespoon left on our sweetheart table, with handwritten congrats cards. They worked well with our suppliers and our guests all commented on how beautiful the venue was. Guests booking systems were a little confused with the system changing before our date, and all the bookings getting sent to us rather than the guests, but it was all easily rectified by polite reception staff. I’d happily recommend it to other couples.

We are so pleased that we picked your venue—it looked absolutely stunning on our big day! We were lucky enough to have lovely sunshine to fully enjoy the glorious views and the beautiful hotel grounds.
So many of our guests commented on how impressed they were by the new Garden Marquee (some …

commented that the word “marquee” no longer does it justice!). It was a fabulous space for the day and night.
The food was delicious, especially the blade of beef served at the reception. The service was also brilliant throughout the day.
Thank you to the Events team for all your help leading up to our big day. You responded promptly to all of our queries, big and small. All of our requests for table settings and so on were followed to the letter, and the day flowed seamlessly.
Thanks again for making our day truly magical and providing us with wonderful memories of our wedding day that will last a lifetime.
