What a lovely room at the top of a pub. Beautifully presented and pristine and lots of space although steep steps. There are a few quirks as to be expected in an old building but that didn’t put us off as we ourselves live in an old property. Communication was very good. Thank you for having us 😊

The staff were polite and friendly, the facilities were well kept. The only down side I found that there wasn’t any information beforehand regarding the non supply of towels. the sheets and duvet were damp to the touch as well.

Amazing stay in a gorgeous setting!

Our stay was a delight from start to finish. We had planned to drop our case and head off to Cardiff before check-in but the room was ready 2 hours early so we were able to check in then! The room was gorgeous. Beautifully decorated and clean and spacious. The shower was lovely once we got to grips with the temperature control. The kitchenette was well-equipped and a lovely touch. The hot tub was fantastic with clear instructions. We were even able to use it in the rain due to the little roof that over hung. The chemicals did sting our eyes a little bit the stunning view of the hill made up for that. Plus, it shows how clean it was. The location was perfect for a visit to Cardiff. Cannot recommend this place enough. We'll definitely be booking again.
