Definitely Recommend

We were made to feel really welcome and even the dog got treats. Whilst this establishment is super dog friendly even providing mats for them to lay on in the pub, there were also seating options for those without furry friends. The room was really clean with lovely homemade biscuits and choice of hot drinks all lovingly presented. We ate in the bar and food was lovely, we had one small issue which was resolved quickly once raised. The atmosphere is relaxed and we enjoyed a few drinks.

Very welcoming and comfortable

A tremendously warm welcome from lovely staff made us feel instantly at home. Nothing was too much trouble and everything very clean. Breakfasts were good and particularly enjoyed the delicious cheese and onion pie in the evening. A very convenient location made it easy to get around and we certainly plan to return at the first opportunity.

Absolutely excellent

Well worth the effort to visit , we had the fish and chips x2 plus the southern fried chicken tenders and chips, I can honestly say it was the best fish and chips I’ve ever eaten out couldn’t fault it , my wife said her fried chicken was really tasty , the place itself is tastefully decorated and you can tell they have a pride about the way it looks. We would not hesitate to recommend this Inn, also a mention to the lady who looked after us Alice , brilliant!

Birthday meal, first class!

Although we don't stay at the hotel we eat and drink here every time we holiday in this area. Our meal tonight was first class, as a vegan I chose the plant burger and my family had fish and chips and the evening special sea bass. The staff as ever were very friendly and attentive. Love it here and couldn't recommend it highly enough!

Centrally located and comfortable stay.

A lovely hotel centrally located. We parked on a council car park across from this Cardiff hotel which was fine. Room was large and comfortable, and the shower was brilliant. Breakfast was lovely, lots of choice on the menu and staff were very friendly and attentive. We have already booked our return visit!

Good Views, Friendly Staff & Place

Stopped in one of their ground floor rooms, WiFi was good which was needed & the view from the room was lovely. Anthony & All the Staff were helpful and a made my stay more than comfortable. The Breakfast was (for me) spot on every morning and a great way to start the day with a smile from the Staff

Nipped in for dinner.

Had a nice pint of Guinness and the other half had a Moretti, both were nice drinks. Onto the food. I ordered the Steak and Ale Pie, and the Mrs had Fish and Chips. It's the best steak and ale pie I have ever had and the fish was fresh, white and flaky. With real chips alongside both meals, I can't fault one thing. Overall, lovely little pub, lovely staff and lovely food. The other half said she wants to come here for dinner every day, now that's a first.

Chilled out!

We have just returned from a wonderful stay at the Gilpin Hotel and Spa. After a great Spa session with treatment, and a fantastic dinner, we had a peaceful overnight stay with an amazing breakfast. The service was exceptional. Every single member of staff was friendly and professional, and made us feel very comfortable and welcome. Our lake view room was perfect for our needs, and the bed was super comfortable. We look forward to returning for some more 'pure relaxation' very soon.

Fabulous Food

Popped in for an evening meal as we were staying at a local hotel. The food was excellent. In fact the food was better than some meals I have had in certain restaurants. A huge surprise from a local Public House. Will definitely be back for their Sunday Roast. Thank you !

Beautiful and breathtaking!

I went in January for a wedding fair, this was the first venue we went to visit and I didn’t expect to book it there and then but the whole experience was just amazing, the hotel was absolutely perfect, really modern and very romantic and beautiful. We went off for lunch and viewed a few rooms and the spa and cannot wait to use this ASAP! We booked our wedding venue there and then, the staff were so friendly and helpful particularly for me as I am disabled and wheelchair bound.

Highly recommended

When I travel to Cardiff I always try and book in at this inn. I have never had a bad experience and would fully recommend it. I have always had a warm welcome from the staff and they cannot do enough to ensure that I have a great stay. Its a combination of good accommodation and a great restaurant and bar on site.
