Great value, very quiet, and a lovely host.
Pros:

Gareth was a brilliant host super welcoming and friendly, and he went above and beyond to set up an extra single bed so me and my friend could share the room comfortably.

Lovely room with a shared bathroom, with good value for money.

It's on a very quiet street too, so we slept really well.

Wonderful place to stay for a short city break.
Pros:

The host, Gareth, was so so friendly and helpful. Never had to wait long for a reply and was very accommodating. Great recommendations for local places to eat, and very helpful with advise on how to get in to Cardiff Central. Room was small, but comfortable and clean.

Very homely, a room in private house with shared facilities, warm welcome and from Gareth recomend
Pros:

Gareth was very welcoming and gave very useful information to help me plan cycling around and exploring the area. The room was very quiet and comfortable with birdsong and rear view of garden and woods.

Cons:

Information about tea, coffee and sugar would have helped

Pros:

Gareth is a lovely guy! Couldn't be more accommodating to be quite honest. Lovely safe location. I was booked in for 2weeks long stay for work in the city and he was happy to offer a deal for an even longer stay for more work later on in the year... highly recommend. See you soon buddy

Wouldn't stay again
Pros:

Location was convenient.

Cons:

I hesirated to put a bad review and tried to raise my concerns with the afebt and owner, but to no avail. The room, the bathroom and the windows hadn't been cleaned for months. The owner was 'a bit merry' when he showed us round. Washing up in sink all weekend. Heating only in for an hour in the morning on a very cold, wet, windy January weekend. We had to ask for it to be put on in the early evening.
