'Bike friendly' places to stay near Merthyr?

Stevo_666

I'm off to the new Bike Park Wales next month near Merthyr Tydfil and need somewhere to crash the night before where I don't have to worry about my bike getting nicked if I leave it in the car. Apart from the security thing, I'm not too fussed about the accommodation as long as its reasonable, does a decent brekkie and is no more than about 10 miles away.

Any suggestions?

i'm not sure what they're like as it's only 25 mins from me, but here's where BPW suggest:

Stick to the Premier Inn and take your bike in with you

Thanks lads, we also found quite a good place just outside Aberdare that lets you take bikes inside so will have a ring around and book up this w/e. The uplift is already fully booked, lucky we got in earlier this week!

We're booked for Monday 9th. I think I'd be half dead if I did Afan and BPW back to back! But in any event can't escape till Sunday afternoon.

Looking forward to it, looks like there's so much stuff there to play on, even for someone like me who probably won't need to go past the red runs.

TRAVEL-LODGE at Rhydycar Merthyr Tydfil = less than 5, minutes from the cycling.
