Description from owner

Description

Our 100 year old cottage is a rare find and will be your home away from home. Close to Cardiff city centre & stadium, available for short term stays (minimum 3 nights) situated in Llandaff, Cardiff. The cottage is unusual as it is both close to the city centre but in a semi rural location, so you get the best of both worlds.

It is fully furnished in a cottage style, clean with modern facilities, two double bedrooms, bathroom with electric shower over bath, comfy lounge with TV+DVD, open plan kitchen and dining area, cottage garden and private offroad parking. [Use of the fold out single bed in the lounge for a fifth guest will incur an additional charge of £10 a night, pay cash on arrival. Additional bedding provided.] All bedding and towels are provided. All in all, really good value.

The cottage is close to all amenities, the Taff Trail and local walks, Llandaff village & Cathedral, local railway stations, bus routes, and is a few minutes drive to Castle Coch, St. Fagans Museum, many other local attracctions and 20 minutes drive from the famous Celtic Manor Golfing Resort. A convenient location for Cardiff and all of south Wales. The cottage is also on the route of the Pen-Rhys Pilgrimage Walk.

A local supermarket is within walking distance, several shops, bars and restaurants in nearby Llandaff village and a 5minute drive to a 24hour supermarket.

Cardiff city centre and everything it has to offer is only 14 minutes away (by car or train): the commercial business centre, Cardiff University, Cardiff Castle, the (Principality)Stadium, great shopping, bars & restaurants and a few more minutes will take you to Mermaid Quay and the Millennium Centre in the fabulous Cardiff Bay area. [Since 2020 lockdowns, please check venues are open.]

To the north the beautiful Brecon Beacons and to the west the stunning beaches at Ogmore by Sea and the Gower are within driving distance.

The cottage is suitable for Cardiff visitors, sports fans, families and professionals working in Cardiff who prefer a home to a hotel. A well behaved dog is welcome (£5 per night payable in cash on arrival) The property is self catering and we appreciate you leaving it clean and tidy when you go.

Longer term rentals and price deals may be considered.

Please contact host about prices after Dec 2022

“Cottage is lovely in Spring time”

Reviewed 14 May 2023

We have stayed at The Cottage many times, in both winter and summertime, and it is always homely and comfortable. The house is well equipped and there is a cute little garden to sit in. The location is ideal - tucked away in a quiet country lane with river walks on the doorstep, but just 5 minutes walk to Danescourt Station and a direct line to Cardiff City centre. Hosts Helen and James are never intrusive but they genuinely care about guests' comfort and are quick to help if needed. We'll definitely be back!

“Gorgeous cottage in lovely setting”

Reviewed 18 Jun 2022

Really loved the stone cottage & luscious garden. Property was really well equipped.. everything you could possibly need & more. Very well placed. Only negative was garden didn't prove dog proof for our medium sized dog so either had to keep back door closed or keep him on a lead which wasn't ideal. Lots of instructions in folder which were necessary I suppose but we felt a bit nervous about doing anything wrong! Nice owners live next door.
