Hi Lewis

Based not too far from you in Caerphilly.... I have just returned from a short visit and flew from Manchester on a Tuesday returned on the Friday, Most travel operator flights are for 7 days but I couldn't spare the time off work. I also think you can go out on the Friday and return on the Tuesday.

Booked flight with Travel Republic which cost around £300, also booked Marriot hotel via them which was an ideal base and cost around £55.00 per night B&B. There are cheaper hotels on the site but for my first visit I thought to play it safe.

Trip was well worth it and answered a lot of doubts that I had about the area and developements, can't wait to return.

Good luck.
