What a little gem
Pros:

We were greeted with homemade Welsh cakes and shown into our room which is a completely separate room to the pub and so clean.
Very comfy bed, hot shower, lovely tea tray and cadburys hot chocs it was all so lovely.
For the low price we were expecting something very different.
I hope to go back again in the future.

Cons:

Can't fault anything it was perfect for us.

An exceptional overnight stay, we would definitely come again
Pros:

An exceptional room, well-presented and spacious, with all the facilities we wanted. Great welcome.

Loved the gift of Welsh cakes.

Lovely location, we enjoyed a short walk, which felt safe and interesting.

On site restaurant was also wonderful, clearly loved by locals too. Couldn't want for more.

Cons:

We had an upstairs room which was rather warm, but it did have a fan.

It served a purpose as a base to get into Cardiff but would not return.
Pros:

The bed was comfortable and the location was convenient to get into Cardiff.

Cons:

The floor in the bathroom was constantly wet and slippy throughout the stay, mould in the bathroom on the ceiling and round the seal in the shower, stifling hot but to be fair it was exceptionally hot during our stay. Service in the pub was slow for food. Mobile signal was poor throughout our stay.
