This is the first time I’m I have stayed at Gleynis farm though my husband has stayed here twice before. Pros – very comfy large bed, great shower. The furnishings were quality, bedroom and ensuite nicely decorated and immaculately clean. I slept very well as it was quiet with no noise from outside or neighbours. The room size was snug... More

We spent three nights at Gelynis in May and had a terrific time. The farm itself has great character - built in the 17th century it just oozes history, and tasteful restoration makes it a snug and fascinating place to stay. It's a few miles out of Cardiff but we really enjoyed the stroll to Radyr station to catch the... More

We stayed here for two nights in July 2011 after researching B&B's near Cardiff on Tripadvisor. The booking system and how the deposit is taken is bizarre: It required several emails and Links send back to secure sites etc - this could be improved upon and may cost Gelynis potential business- the booking experience should be seamless now, in 2011,...

Very impressive bed and breakfast with an excellent 'welsh' breakfast with good choices. The room was very comfortable with good ensuite and 'king' size bed--although due to Cadw--the Welsh equivalent of English Heritage-asking for the canopy above the rooms at 1st floor level to be removed there was a very small problem of dripping water outside due to the heavy...

My wife and I stayed at the Gelynis B&B for 4 nights and loved everyting about it. We arrived by car and my wife was not too sure about the rail crossing gates. However after talking to Margaret (the hostess) and her son Edward we found that the easiest way to get to Cardiff was by train. This involved a... More

I can truely recommend gelynis farm for anyone visiting Cardiff looking for somewhere which has heart, character, authenticity and that special something extra which makes you want to go back again. iIt is on out skirts on the taff trail which makes it perfect for cyclists. Its a little quirky for drivers having to manually cross a train line but... More

After a rather terrible flight from Detroit, my husband and I were overtired, hungry and grumpy when we arrived through the clouds to a rainy Cardiff afternoon. But we were soon greeted with a ray of sunshine, the proprietors, the Watt Family: Eddie, Arielle and Margaret. The rooms were just as I imagined; charming, comfortable, old-world styling with all the... More

If you're an independent traveller expecting to be left alone, stay elsewhere! The energetic family who owns this lovely farm-turned-B&B will overwhelm you with helpfulness. When we arrived in a downpour, completely frazzled, our hosts proceeded to engage us in long-winded explanations and questions about our own backgrounds all the way from the front desk into our appointed room. The... More

To be honest I wasn't sure what to expect when going to Gelynis Farm. I knew it was going to be either very bad or very good. Taking the punt though I'm glad my and I partner did. For those wanting the cold and starkness of a hotel room then don't come to a converted farm. Which this totally felt... More
