Great weekend

A fantastic weekend in Cardiff at the Lincoln House Hotel. We were late arriving and David was amazing, even calling us en-route to check we were ok. Our room was enormous with a four poster bed, superb. The breakfast was great and cooked to order perfectly. We will definitely want to stay again when we visit Cardiff. Paul & Jane

We stayed 3 nights here and I couldn’t be happier. The place was clean and beautiful. The staff was super friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was first rate and you were given large amounts. The price was very good. The room was bright and comfortable. I would recommend this place to anyone. Would absolutely stay here again

Great BnB but a little disappointed.

Everything you want in a B and B from the welcome to the great breakfast. We only have 2 concerns, the room was rather hot so would be really hot middle of summer. One of the reasons we booked as it advertised onsite parking. We were sent an email after booking that advised people who booked direct with them and not through a third party like hotels.com had priority, this left a bad taste for us, otherwise we would highly recommend. Best breakfast offered.

Cricket weekend break.

It was an ideal place for our stay in Cardiff, 5 min walk from the cricket ground. Hotel was clean and tidy, comfortable and did a wonderful breakfast to set us up for the day. My wife left her car keys spare set, in the room and reception called us to let us know and they packed them up and got them returned to us via courier service. Would we stay again, most definitely. Thanks for everything. 5 ⭐️ rating from us.

The bed & Breakfast atmosphere was excellent. The rooms were clean, secured 24/7, including parking. And, the authentic Welsh breakfast was wonderful. Additionally, staff went out of their way to notify, pack and ship a computer tablet that we left behind. The manager Carl was professional, competent and just plain nice! All in all, a quality experience worthy of a repeat visit.

Ok stay

The room was comfortable but for what we paid, and I understand that the prices were bumped up for the rugby, there were long, dark hairs on the bathroom tiles and at the end of the bath, no shelf to put bottles on in the shower and the loo leaked. The fan in the room is covered in dust on the blade and the casing. Breakfast was great but the two young waitresses maybe need to keep the chatting to a minimum when guests can overhear
