Amazing service & food

I wanted to leave a review as I feel this pub certainly deserves it! The new management is next to none! The service we received as soon as we came in was amazing and lovely that owner took the time to come to speak to us. Not only was the service was amazing, the food is ridiculously good, you can tell everything is fresh and made from scratch, can’t recommend this place enough whether it’s food, just drinks or both. A suitable pub for family, friends, couple the whole lot!

Great food, decent karaoke

In the day you can get decent food at a great price - the Sunday lunches are particularly great. At night it turns in to a banging venue absolutely jam packed with fertile scrat bags. Saturday evening karaoke is not to be missed (although some of the singers are of variable quality) Drinks are reasonably priced as well - what’s not to like?

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.

Amazing stay Cardiff hotel

I stayed here for a week for University and it was a breath of fresh air compared to my previous hotel. It is like a home away from home and I felt so comfortable travelling alone. There are lots of lovely touches like fresh milk available to take to your room in a cool flask, hot chocolate and filter coffee bags available in your room and a lovely cosy fire in the restaurant. The food was absolutely incredible too and the breakfast options were 10/10.

Brilliant experience

7 of us went for a few drinks and a bite to eat. It didn’t disappoint from walking through the door. The staff were so friendly, the service was perfect. The food was out of this world. Will definitely be back and really looking forward to it!

Lovely Hotel, Great Location

The room was lovely. It was spotless. Towels clean and fluffy. Breakfast was spot on. We had drinks in the bar one of the night, good value and plenty of choice too. Will stop here again, perfect location and only a two minute walk from the car park which was cheap for 24 hours.

Valentines meal in Cardiff

My partner and I booked for Valentines and his birthday. We have eaten here many times and have always found the food to be excellent. We were happy the venue had chosen to offer their main menu alongside some special menu items for Valentines rather than offering only a set Valentines menu like other venues, it gave more of a relaxed feel to the evening. The food, as always, was exceptionally good and the service, firendly and attentive.

A lovely stay

Just back from a one night stay in this Pub with rooms and thoroughly enjoyed it. We stayed in The Barn conversion just up the road which was spacious, cosy and well appointed. Dinner was very good, as was the service. Breakfast was top quality and the lunch we had after a long walk up Malham Cove was also very good. Just a couple of words of advice. This venue is very dog friendly.

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.

Good honest food

My wife and I went there for our evening meal (Tea, Dinner, supper, whatever you call it) and the food was superb. The steak and kidney pudding (locally made) was the best I've eaten and my wife had fish. Beautifully served and delicious. To cap it all, really nice friendly staff too.

Great Hospitality

Pulled up outside the and as soon as my friend, Claire,, unloaded my wheelchair 2 customers who were drinking outside nipped in the pub and came out with a ramp for me to enter, Nice friendly landlord and staff and a choice of 10 real ales, heaven on earth. There is also a roomy and well laid out disabled toilet with facilities for washing and changing babies. All this and the best yet to come, 4 hours of stunning Irish traditional music, some great songs and singing and great craic.
