“Ideal location for beach, city and country visit”

Reviewed 11 Apr 2019

A small cosy little house. Situated by the side of the Cardiff train line just 20mins from Cardiff Bay - we didn't hear the trains. The outside let's it down but once inside its very comfortable. Very warm, Virgin TV. Only downside for us was a downstairs bathroom.

“My feedback to Sharonne and Hugh”

Reviewed 14 Dec 2015

A really comfortable cottage with excellent access to Cardiff City Centre. Nice and cosy and very comfortable sleeping. A 10 minute walk to the local pubs with great weekend entertainment and local store and the fresh air upto the Welsh valleys ;-). Staying in Taffs well at the cottage of Sharonn and Hugh was a nice experience. Sharonne was a great host and very welcoming and accommodating. Without hesitation we would stay again. Regards, Marc

“not a cottage and more suitable for weekend stays only”

Reviewed 22 Oct 2015

A bit disappointing i know the description said adjacent to owners house but i didnt realise we could hear them and of course they could hear us .my son said it was difficult to sleep in the 2nd bedroom due to a dripping noise from the roof. Their kitchen overlooked our living area and to maintain privacy we kept curtains closed.however the location is good be aware no trains on a sunday and The hosts were polite and provided more towels on request, the place was very clean and neat and the kitchen well equipped. I have used trip advisor for 15 yrs and this is the only negative feedback i have given , On the downside wifi was impossible and we had to go into cardiff to organise the next part of our trip

Response from the owner Dear Guest We are very sorry that your trip wasnt as positive as you hoped. We pride ourselves on excellent customer service. We would have been only too happy to respond to any concerns you had about the facilities at the time and certainly would have remedied the dripping noise if we'd known and WIFI problem if we had known you couldn't connect. I checked trains the week you stayed just in case there was a problem with the line that day and there didn't appear to be any issue. The trains go into Cardiff every 10-15 mins during the week and every 45-60 mins on a Sunday. We cannot see into the cottage at all during the day - it's only possible at night if the light is on curtains not drawn which is pretty normal. I can assure you that privacy is of upmost importance to our guests and ourselves and our development is designed to block out any disturbing noise between the two properties so apologies if this didn't work for you. I can assure you we couldn't and didn't hear you or your family. I hope your experience didn't put too much of a dampner on your visit to Wales. Kind regards Hugh & Sharon
