We have just completed our 26nd dance holiday ( over 6 years) at the Heronston Spa Hotel, Ogmore by the Sea, nr Bridgend, South Wales.

The entire hotel has been refurbished over the last two years and to say this is a superior 3 star is probably an understatement!? This is a fine modern low-level hotel with ample parking (currently no parking charges) and the public areas are contemporary and chic.

The function room has an intimate floor entirely suitable for 20/25 couples over three nights and has been refurbished with inset decorative wall lighting that is pattern matched to the pattern in the carpet!? The lighting can be adjusted to a perfect dancing ambience, so presents a wonderful venue for evening dancing, but is light and airy during the day for tuition. The room is also air conditioned, and the bar is just outside the entrance doors.

The restaurant is also modern/trendy, spacious, light and airy, and we often enjoy sole group dining in the nearby Heron Room where they still use fine tablecloths. Dinner service by very smart uniformed staff was seamless, efficient …and breakfast is self-service buffet. The food, both dinner and breakfast were of a high-quality standard and feedback from guests was exceptional.

The refurbished rooms and elegant bathrooms really are of exemplary standard and are therefore very comfortable, relaxing with quality beds and bed linen.

The bonus for this hotel is a lovely Spa and is included in our holiday package, but you may need to book as Spa breaks are very popular at this venue…..

Carole and I can highly recommend this hotel as a very comfortable superior hotel with excellent facilities throughout… just perfect for a brief dancing break….!

The hotel spa is offering a 10% discount for our dancers for pre-booked and pre-paid spa treatments

Best Western Heronston Hotel & Spa is the ideal location in a semi rural area, but only half a mile from Bridgend town centre and minutes from Junction 35 of the M4. It is within easy reach of the dramatic Heritage Coastline and equidistant from our vibrant capital city of Cardiff & the cosmopolitan city of Swansea.

The hotel boasts 75 well appointed non smoking bedrooms. The newly refurbished Ewennys Bar & Grill is the perfect place for pre dinner drinks or to order a light snack or bar meal. The Crane Restaurant offers a Seasonal Menu, all our food is sourced locally and prepared and cooked freshly.

The Leisure Club & Spa offers an indoor heated pool, spa treatment rooms, sauna, steam room, spa pool and fully equipped gym. The pool area has been fitted with mood lighting, the ideal area to relax.

Peter Kay

The refurbishment of the hotel has lifted this break to a new level. We are looking forward to our next visit.

Judith and Alan Bolton

Thank you again, Paul ( and Carole of course!) for a fabulous weekend.
The music and dancing deserve the expected superlatives but you also deserve medals for your choice of table companions.
You may have noticed! We gelled straight away both with the common moans and the shared sense of humour.
What a joy!!! Stay well, we need you!
Bless you both

Gary Neal

We just wanted to let you know what a lovely weekend we had. We didn’t know want to expect but it couldn’t have been any better
It was a pleasure to meet you both and the tuition we received from Lawrence and Emma had put us on a pathway to improve far more than we expected.
The Hotel was great, we explored the local beaches on Sunday and met some lovely dancing people so a wonderful experience so looking forward to booking again soon

Connie May
