Central Studio w/ Roof Terrace

JennyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Great little place to stay. We booked the one with the private terrace which was perfect. Location is spot on too, very near town and only 10 minute taxi to the Bay. Annoyingly I didn't have time to use the shower but the bathroom was very tidy. Was quite weird that the door knew my name but also reassuring that we were in the right place. Not sure if I didn't read the info correctly but there is non permit parking that is quite reasonable right outside the property. I'd booked parking elsewhere but didn't need to. On busy days, it might be needed but we stayed on a week day. Definitely better than a hote and would stay there again.

Spacious, waterfront apartment & parking space

LucieRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The apartment is a wonderfully beautiful & peaceful place. My stay has been amazing, the sanctuary of calm & serenity I so desperately needed on a very intense work trip. I tend to get quite home sick when I'm away and this flat has given me the cuddle feeling you get when you are at home. I have no doubt that I will use the apartment as my go to if ever I need to be in Cardiff again. Also, don't be deterred by the traffic, it acts as a lovely faint white noise - it's fabulous for sleeping (and I'm a light sleeper)! I worked from the flat on one of the days, and caught myself meditatively watching the cars go past, the swans milling around and felt very serene. Thank you Claire, for everything, your place is amazing.

Cosy apartment Cardiff bay 5 mins to centre

AmandaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Fabulous location and easily walkable between both the exciting city centre and the culturally inviting Bay area. This accomadation quite rightly boasts its remarkable views of the river, is peaceful and private, modern, comfortable and yes, as cosy as stated! Seriously, the underfloor heating in the bathroom is a joy! This was my first visit to Cardiff and as a writer and tourist I can absolutely say my inspirations were tweaked! The hospitality of Gemma and Shaun was friendly, accomodating and respectful! Perfick!

My wife Jan and I stayed at Mark and Helen's Apartment for a few days and found it very spacious and clean with separate living/kitchen/dining, bedroom and large shower /bathroom areas. All the necessary kitchen utensils were included as were toiletries and towels/flannels. Mark was available at all times should we need any help. We would definitely stay at this Apartment again.

Lovely house in a decent location that is walkable to the seafront. Very clean and comfy beds! Bit bright through the blinds from the lamp posts and then first thing in the morning but not a major issue for us. Thank you!!

*Luxury Coastal Retreat* Family friendly sleeps 10

AnnaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Great place plenty of space inside. Kitchen was done lovely bathrooms nice. Location great for the front near beach and close to restaurants at hill street. Comfortable beds quiet in the evenings. Parking was a problem very difficult to park near the house would be better with permits as so close to front. Otherwise a fantastic stay in good location.

Dry Dock Cottage

SiobhanRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
The photos do not do the Drydock Cottage justice - it is even more beautiful than it looks in the photos and also a lot more spacious. The attention to detail and every element of the design that has gone into the conversion of this building is second to none. The location is also absolutely perfect - so peaceful, tucked away in gorgeous grounds with a view straight out onto the canal and across over the valley to the mountains beyond. I could have sat and watched the world go by, including the families of ducks, all day. The home made goodies were very welcoming and I loved every minute of my stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place for people looking to escape to somewhere unique and peaceful.

Spacious 2Bed 2Bath, River Views, Pool, Parking

MeganRating, 5 stars4 days ago
One of the best places we have stayed. We went to a concert and although slightly outside of the city centre but about a 20 min walk back to the apartment. Felt super safe and the property is inside a gated area and nice quiet surroundings. Was nice to stay away from the busy area. The property was massive! Bigger than expected, the rooms all clean and fresh! Kitchen fully equipped and a nice dining area. Balcony was a bonus! The host was unbelievably fast at replying and was so flexible with our check in! We really appreciated it! Check was easy and we were provided with all the information. All of us wished we had booked another night! Definitely would stay here again! Thank you! 🤩
