Mercure Newport: Your perfect match day base

Heading to the Principality Stadium for the Six Nations or Autumn Internationals? While the unforgettable match-day excitement is in Cardiff, your comfortable, stylish, and stress-free retreat is just a short train ride away. After a day of world-class rugby, skip the city-centre crowds and treat yourself to a peaceful base.

Look no further than Mercure Newport—your smart choice for a seamless rugby weekend!

Comfort, Style, and Great Value: Just a 10-minute train ride from Cardiff

Forget the Cardiff crowds and inflated prices. Mercure Newport offers a relaxing retreat with a lightning-fast connection right to the heart of the action.

The Fastest Route to the Try Line:

• The Walk: Enjoy a leisurely 7-minute walk from our front door to Newport Train Station.
• The Train: Hop on a direct train, and in a mere 10–14 minutes, you’ll be stepping onto the platform at Cardiff Central.
