Riverside, 0.5 km from Cardiff Castle

"Came here as a solo traveller and LOVED it. The single room was a little small, but perfect for only staying a couple days. The bathroom + shower were also very small, but considering I’m only 158cm/5’3, it worked out well. However, a taller person may find it a bit uncomfortable. The location was perfect. It was only 10 min by foot from the train station and about 15 min from Cardiff Castle. I also had an issue the first night with the heater in the room so I complained to the staff. Not...

We stayed in this beautiful farmhouse for my 50th birthday get together. The hosts really have thought of everything. Cold sitting outside? The hosts have provided blankets, towels for the hot tub are stacked in the boot room nearest to the hot tub. Children attending are fantastically catered for with a range of indoor and outdoor games (we packed some but didn't need them). Holiday reads are neatly stacked if you forget your book, there's a doll's house for younger children. Outside there is a...

De Courceys Manor Cottages

Pentyrch

10/10 Excellent

The cottage was very clean throughout. Check-in was entirely online, as the cottages are self-contained from the main building. I think I was the only person staying during my visit, making it blissfully quiet. There are no dining facilities on-site, so you will need to drive to the recommended local places to eat. I didn't actually try any of them, as I was using the cottage as a base to visit family. I will definitely look to book here again next time I am in the area."

A reception desk with a vase of flowers, a framed certificate, and a television on the wall.

This B&B/restaurant is fantastic and I can not fault it at all! The rooms are spacious, clean,warm and comfortable with plenty of free tea/coffee. Andy who initially greeted me was pleasant and helpful, as I left before breakfast was served the following day he arranged for a packed breakfast to be made for me! this has not happened for me before at other hotels. The hotel is only a 15 minute drive from Cardiff Centre meaning it is easily accessible minus the noise and parking issues from the...
