We chose to stay at the Town House after reading the good reviews. But it was a big disappointment. Our room was just adequate, the bed was uncomfortable and the bedding was a disgrace, old blankets and hard pillows. And if you are more than 5ft 11 don't even think of fitting into the shower cubicle. But if you must,... More

Really friendly place to stay if your in Cardiff. Rooms have everything you need . I booked a single at the last minute and was upgraded to a twin room with more space on arrival. The bed is a bit too hard for my liking and the shower a shade too small which is why I didn't give a 5.... More

If you are looking for something quaintly different, spotlessly clean, ellegantly furbished, not too expensive and a short walk from Cardiff City Centre, try The Town House. It is a beautiful Victorian house that has been sympathetically furnished to recreate an elegant taste of the period. They even have a lovely young Indian waitress which is reminiscent of the days...

The town house is a 15min casual walk from railway station, shopping area, and millenium stadium. The hotel room I had was clean and tidy, breakfast was good. The owner and staff were very helpful. There a few bars near to hotel but mostly located in town and can be pricey.

Had a lovely one night stay at the Town House. Room was very comfortable, homely and clean. Even though are room was located on the front it was very quiet. Owner Charles was friendly and welcoming and our waitress was attentive and polite. Excellent breakfast with a good veggie option. Would definitely stay here again.

We have stayed here several times when we have been visiting our daughter. Rooms are clean, comfortable and pleasantly furnished. Good breakfast sitting around one large table with others, so opportunity for speaking to fellow travellers if you wish! Public rooms are also well maintained and nicely furnished. Backs onto County Cricket ground, close to the river side and an... More

Good location and lovely house from the front (as are the majority of houses on Cathedral Road). On arrival rang the bell and waited quite a while for the door to be answered. Met by a quiet teenage lad who didn't introduce himself but I presume was the son and was shown to my room. He also gave me the... More

My partner and I spent three nights at this B&B last June and we just loved it! We came to Cardiff to relax and just got everything we longed for. The best about this B&B was Erika. This young lady, who obviously managed the whole B&B by herself while the owners were abroad, made us feel both like king and... More

Went to see England v South Africa one day cricket and chose the town house for its location, but had a lot more, the rooms were nice and clean, very friendly owners and staff, and a good hearty breakfast, theres a bar/restaurant next door and opposite in this fairly quiet street, definitely use again.

Just back from a three night stay at the Town House with my husband and two friends and I would happily recommend it and stay there again myself. It's within walking distance of the city with all it's attractions with a bus stop just a few metres away. The bedrooms are nicely decorated and the beds comfortable. Personally I would... More
