“Another great stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 February 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We have stayed at this B&B before, having tried several in the area. It is ideally situated for walking into town for shopping/concerts, etc. The Beverley pub is situated right opposite and The Cricketers Arms 2 doors away. Despite being near pubs, we didn't find it noisy at night. The rooms are always spotless and there is obviously good attention to detail. We were pleased to see Erika is still working there, as she is very friendly and efficient at breakfast. My only grievance is I would prefer to have a duvet on the bed, because I am allergic to blankets. There were extra pillows and blankets in the wardrobe, which I had to use because I got cold in the night. Overall I would always recommend this B&B for its high level of cleanliness.

“Great location, mediocre lodgings.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 February 2011

Cathedral road is a great base to explore Cardiff city centre and the town house is fortunate enough to be in a great location. If you are a fan of dated decor and bog standard breakfasts, then this is the place for you. At breakfast, there was a choice of 2 tables. I dislike being forced to socialise in the morning. on the plus side, service was polite and room was clean. But bedding was inadequate, sheets as opposed to a duvet and room was on the cool side. I visited the Lincoln b&b just up the road from the town house not long ago and got much more for my money.

“Friendly, nice bed, very helpfull”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 December 2010

I've stayed here for 2 nights with my kids aged 3 & 5. Within cycling distance (along scenic river Taff) from the center and the bay, it was a perfect base camp to visit Cardiff.
Charles & Paula were very helpfull getting an extra mattres in the room for the kids to sleep on and sorting out a safe place to keep our cycles overnight.
1 little niggle? We had a room at the front & I thought Cathedral Road was a little too busy for a good nights rest.

“Clean, comfortable B&B, great value for money”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2010

Just a short walk into town, in a nice area with pubs around. Room was clean with a nice en suite and had everything we needed. Very helpful people. Great breakfast in the morning.

“Warm, comfortable, friendly”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 December 2010

Warm and comfortable, lovely to have a large room after so many small rooms on our travels! Erica, who served our breakfast, was friendly and helpful. Good value for money, a great position, and although the street was busy we heard no noise at night. Good pub just 2 doors down, the Cricketers Arms I think it was called, or something similar - very good food and friendly service. Short walk to the city centre.
