Description from owner

Description

A delightful ground floor apartment in a converted Victorian building located in Pontcanna, an affluent area close to Cardiff Castle and the city centre - has its own private parking for two cars.

The building backs onto the grounds of Glamorgan County Cricket Club and Cardiff Castle. With two free parking spaces, you can park up and leave your car as Pontcanna has a range of pavement cafes, restaurants, designer boutiques etc. The Principality Stadium and Cardiff City FC Stadium are both close by so a car is not needed if visiting central tourist attractions.

The apartment is a pleasant 10 minute walk through the grounds of Cardiff Castle to the Principality Stadium, home to Welsh rugby, and an abundance of shops and restaurants. You can pick up the Aquabus in the Castle grounds to take you to the coastal activities of Cardiff Bay or a show at the Wales Millenium Centre. Pontcanna is a fashionable area with plenty to do all on your doorstep. Situated in a quiet, converted Victorian property with a terrace and private parking for 2 cars, the apartment has a beautiful lounge with large Victorian windows overlooking the garden. It has a comfortable sofa, a large flat screen Smart TV and a light bedroom with patio doors leading to a small outside terrace for your morning cuppa. The bedroom can be made up as a king or twins depending on your preference. The bathroom has a full size bath with a rainfall over shower and separate hair shower. The galley kitchen is equipped with a Fridge/Freezer, hob, oven, microwave and Bosch Tassimo coffee machine. The lounge has two comfy sofas one converts into a comfortable double bed (please confirm if required to ensure bed linen is ordered). The apartment is on Cathedral Road the main tree lined avenue of Pontcanna, quoted by the Sunday Times as one of Cardiff's most affluent areas. It is safe and has private parking. The apartment has full central heating making for cosy stays in the autumn/winter. Linen is provided including bath towels for each guest. Additional linen is provided for stays of more than one week. Changeover services can also be arranged for stays of more than 1 week if required. 2 free Parking spaces can be provided (Please book in advance and note there is a width/height restriction preventing tall vehicle access - check for details). No Hen or Stag type group bookings taken sorry!

Guests (up to 4) will have sole use of the property which is a ground floor 1 bedroom apartment occupying the front of a large Victorian Semi with a small terrace and 2 free parking spaces.

I am local and always available for any queries.

The house is in the area of Pontcanna which is a select area very close to the city centre with lots of restaurants and pubs nearby. The house is 1km from the train and bus stations - a cab will cost around £4 and the bus around £2 pp. The airport is around 10 kms from the house and a cab will cost around £30.

Don't just take our word for it ... read some of the lovely reviews our guests have given us:

31 May 2019:Elizabeth

"We had a great stay at Caroline's apartment. It's very well maintained, clean, well fitted out and in a great location. Caroline provided us with helpful check-in instructions and lots of local recommendations. She left us a generous welcome basket which we appreciated. We would be very happy to stay again".

26 May 2019: Leah

"The flat is on a lovely street with 6 pubs just steps away, a terrific Italian restaurant next door, and a beautiful park around the corner. The gardens on the street were charming. The owner provided so many special touches like cut flowers, snacks and local recommendations. The beds were comfy, the high ceilings and tall windows let in so much natural light. Caroline went out of her way to take care and make our stay great. If you stay here, walk through the park around the castle and take a bus or cab to the bay for lunch on the water".

November 2018: Matthew

"A really nice location, with a very comfy sofa bed, the apartment happily slept two couples and we would love to stay again".
