Why we love: Delta Hotels by Marriott St. Pierre Country Club

A sanctuary, surrounded by beautiful grounds and enveloped between The Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley, Delta Hotels by Marriott St. Pierre Country Club is an elegant escape that combines the brand’s famously contemporary and dependable hospitality with historic charm and beauty. Here are just a few of the reasons we love this spa hotel in South Wales.

A hotel enveloped in history

Arrive through a 16th-century gatehouse to be greeted by a historic manor house that dates back to the 14th-century at this Chepstow hotel. While the brand has ensured that all the trappings of modern travel are well and truly intact, they have also made sure to retain the beautiful details that the property has to offer including monastic features that give it gravitas and grandeur - there’s even a Norman church within the grounds, dating to 1254.

The scenic location

Surrounded by 400 acres of parkland, the hotel looks onto an expanse of golf courses and Monmouthshire countryside. As mentioned, it’s neatly nestled between The Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley, making it a wonderful place to bring your wellies and go for a walk. However, it is also just 12 miles from Bristol and 22 miles from Bath and Cardiff, for those who want to venture a little further afield on longer stays or visit en-route to other corners of the UK.

A hotel with two Marriott golf courses

The Delta Hotels by Marriott St. Pierre Country Club has established itself as one of South Wales’ premier golf destinations, and guests delight in experiencing the courses as part of their stay. There are two courses: the championship Old Course (formerly played by the likes of Seve Ballesteros, Greg Norman and Bernhard Langer) and the shorter, scenic Mathern course. Just don’t forget to reserve a tee time.

Contemporary spa and leisure experiences

Alongside the historic hotel, Delta Hotels by Marriott St. Pierre Country Club offers its guests a modern spa and leisure experience. The leisure club is complete with tennis courts, a gym, pool, sauna, whirlpool and a steam room, as well as fitness counselling and spa treatments using a combination of Elemis and Jessica products.

A family-friendly hotel

Delta Hotels by Marriott St. Pierre Country Club excels at welcoming guests for all occasions, whether it’s with friends, on a romantic break or with the family. The hotel welcomes children with easy-going dining experiences, plenty of space outside for children to run around, family rooms and leisure experiences that they can enjoy.
