Trip to Cardiff- Advice needed

[Youstolemyname]

12 of us are going to the Cup Final next Saturday and I just wanted to pick the brains of my fellow OcUK'ers. We cannot get a room for the Friday night in Cardiff but have one sorted for the Saturday night of the game.

So, our plan is to travel down on the Friday and stay somewhere near Cardiff that would be good for a night out on the beers and close enough so we only have a short drive the next day. At the moment we have excluded Bristol as one of the lads used to work there and said it was no good for a night out and expensive so we are looking at Monmouth.

Anyone got any other suggestions of a town where we could stay that is near to Cardiff, good for a night out on the beers, friendly towards 12 footy fans and relatively cheap

Thanks in advance

Cheers for all the advice peeps. We eventually managed to get into a place in Porthcawl. It is £34 a night each for B&B, which in a 3 star hotel is practically free.

Thanks again for taking the time to share tips. One final question...is it worth a taxi ride into Cardiff to have a night out on the Friday or is Bridgend/Porthcawl good for a night on the beers?

Cheers
