Perfect Stay Near the Beach!!!

friendly owner excellent location super clean room delicious breakfast

Check-in was straightforward, with a very friendly owner. The location proved to be excellent, close to many attractions. I found my room spotlessly clean and cute. Breakfast was provided and was delicious with options for everyone.

I noticed some minor wear on the hallway carpets, it was barely noticeable though.

smooth experience

friendly owner tasty breakfast clear communication

the owner was friendly. the breakfast was tasty. the location was ideal for accessing the beach and the train station.. it is a bit uphill, a typical feature of wales. i appreciated the clear communication.

the en-suite lacked ventilation and i found smells were coming up through the toilet and sink. it took some time to air out the room upon my return each day.

Good breakfast and Convenient Location

friendly owners convenient location

The location was great, close to the train station. It took only 20 minutes to reach Cardiff center. The owners were really friendly.

The lighting was VERY low. It made putting on makeup quite difficult.
