Once again Wales Rally GB is the WRC season closer, with a wet, windy and wild early December date. The promise of rain, mud, fog and even the possibility of snow and ice are all thrown into the mix. The gravel forest stages of south Wales, near to host city Cardiff, are fast and flowing and, when wet, can become as slippery as any in the world. WWW actually means Welsh Wet and Windy!

In 2007 the service park moved to the docklands area of Swansea, providing a more easily accessible location for spectators. Cardiff remains the host city, staging the ceremonial start, the finish and the fan-friendly Superspecial stage.

  New for 2008

In March 2008 the FIA allowed Wales Rally GB to move one week later in the calendar so Cardiff's 74,000 seat Millennium Stadium would be free to host the Superspecial stage.

The Ashgrove Inn and Wales Rally GB 2008:

As we are the nearest hotel to Walters arena, and central for all the other stages, this is clearly the place to stay during Wales Rally GB, but as we only have 6 rooms, we cannot accomodate everybody, and we are very sorry about that.

UPDATE: We still have some free accomotation for Wales Rally GB  (Twin rooms from £96, including Breakfast,  very good deals available for longer stays).

The Ashrove Inn is very central to all the action, with Cardiff less than an hour away, Swansea half an hour and Port Talbot 20 minutes, so we must be the most central Hotel doing B&B for WALES RALLY GB

We are only minutes away from the events taking place in Rheola, Resolfen and Walters Arena.
