Terrible hotel - AVOID!! Our room smelt strongly of cigarette smoke, the shower mat towel was soaking wet on arrival, the power shower did not provide hot water despite trying all settings for some time and there was no soap for washing. We were also disturbed several times in the night by a group of very loud drunk people who managed to lock themselves out of their room and spent a long time vomiting in the communal toilet adjacent to our room with the toilet door left open. There were no staff on site to which I could notify of the various issues.

Isolated and shabby. The check in was disorganised but at least the cleaner didn't mind us dropping our bags off before check in. The property is not very nice and unwelcoming. If I had known what it is like I would not have stayed.

The place would have been fine if it had heat, I slept all night with my jacket on because the radiator wasn't working. The curtains didn't close properly and the bath trim was falling off.

Overnight Stay

The accommodation was a room in a shared house. It was ensure however the warm water in the shower didn’t work so couldn’t shower in the morning. Room was basic with double bed, tv and tea:coffee facilities. As it was a shared house there was a lot of noise from neighbouring guests. This is really basic accommodation and ok if you just need somewhere to crash.

Outside disgusting.

I booked this b&b online as the pictures of the interior were lovely. When we arrived at the property it took me 3 times driving past to realise this was the place we were looking for. The outside looks like a drug den or an empty house. The windows were rotten the garden was full of thistles it was a dump outside no signage of any description. We were totally taken aback and it was not a place we wanted to stay. The inside is probably lovely and if the owners has explained that the house was under refurbishment and the outside was not to be put off by then this would have probably not have put me off so much as not to stay at all.

Very Basic accommodation

Bedding didn’t appear to be fresh, Shower was a trickle at best, Shower temperature was just above cold, Towels were grubby, Toilet seat very loose, T.V but no remote, Car parking would benefit with marked bays to accommodate more spaces

If you pay peanuts don't expect the Rit you get what you pay for. The accommodation was adequate but small, the toilet in the ensuite was dangerous. Ok day on it and nearly fell off because the seat was very loose and I could have really hurt myself. The place was clean and tidy and you have the use of the kitchen lounge and conservatory, but beware of other guests, they are not all considerate and we were women up at 5am by some one coming in drunk and then deciding to have a shower, and proceeded to do so whilst whistling and singing. As this is an unattended facility, you have no one to complain to about inconsiderate guests, and one thing that is not advisable is to approach drunken strangers and ask them to be quiet, you never know how they may react. They also left the remains of Pizza and another takeaway meal on the table in the conservatory when the kitchen bin was no more than 15 get away. Personaly, I will avoid this type of accommodation in the future, to many things can go wrong.

Comfortable short stay

Comfortable stay. The room was clean and well presented. There are shops and takeaways opposite and it is in a good location for the motorways. Would stay again.

OK for 1 night

The room was small but clean, there were tea and coffee making facilities in room although there is a strict 'no food' rule. The ensuite was reasonably clean, the toilet seat was broken and the water pressure in the shower was terrible. We were only staying overnight and didn't spend much time in the room, for this purpose it suited our needs. The 'garden view' was via a heavily frosted bathroom window!

Beware other inconsiderate guests!

On arrival we were disappointed by the lack of parking spaces & the failure to be made aware of this, we had to park in a nearby street instead. In attempting to enter the property we had difficulty accessing the key safe which was sorted via a phone call as no one is on site. The house appeared nicely decorated with period features, 6 bedrooms, kitchen and lounge area. However, we did not get to look around downstairs much as there was already a group of people taking over there drinking alcohol by 4.30pm. Instead we went straight to our room (5) which was quite small and dark but clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. We had en-suite facilities - the shower was hot but with little pressure. There are many rules as to what you can and cannot do - funniest being you were not allowed to use the cooker or prepare food in the kitchen! A shame all residents did not read these rules, especially the one requesting minimal noise and consideration to other guests. I think all the other guests knew each other and were using the place as a weekend party pad. There was a lot of noise until 10.30pm which ended with a loud bang of the front door and everyone seemed to have gone, unfortunately they all came back around 3am and very loud noise continued until we decided to leave at 6am. We stayed the night hoping to relax in preparation for taking part in the Cardiff half marathon the next day, this obviously didn't go to plan & we wish we had never stayed.

Never again

The room was clean. Tea and coffee was available in the room. The bed was uncomfortable. Kitchen looked lovely but most of the appliances were out of bounds. Hated the key safe system. Hated the lack of a staff member on site. I did not see anyone at all throughout my stay. I heard people in the other rooms.

Adequate, but could be better...

The room was relatively clean. The beds were cheaply constructed but adequate. On the night we stayed the common rooms were occupied by chatty guests preparing for a wedding which made sleeping in impossible. Overall it was an okay experience, but if I were staying in the area again I'd probably choose another place.

Nice guesthouse close to transport links

Room lovely, staff efficient when speaking to them. The problem I had is I was in an ensuite room with no hot water so I had to shower elsewhere later on in the day, check out time is quite early and bedsheet could have been changed as was quite rough. All in all though I would stay again, due to the look of room and great bus links into the city.

Fanstatic for the price. It is easy to get into the hotel if you follow the instructions. The room I had was with an ensuite and although small it was clean. Bedding was clean. I did not use the facilities downstairs. Just make sure you don't lock your self out as the hotel is unmanned.

Lovely guesthouse in a quiet area

Beautiful, boutique style of the guesthouse, very quiet and clean. It felt as I was there on my own. Right opposite Sainsburies. The only downside, it is located away from the centre.
