Does not serve dinner on Sunday nor breakfast any day of the week. Bathroom was cramped and with black tile and paint made it difficult to see controls in shower. Fire alarm went off one morning but there was no staff to say it was false alarm. We had to find out for ourselves there was no fire

Four Waterfalls Walk & Nice place To Stay

Room was nice, the pub itself had a lively vibrant feel to it with the staff being fantastic and the locals very friendly. The food in the pub was good, no breakfast though but that wasn't a problem for us and tbf at the price for the room it wasn't even expected, although a £5 Greggs card was issued which I wasn't expecting so that was nice! Used it to subsidise a coffee n cake while we planned our day. I would happily recommend a stay given the price and the friendliness of the staff....hence the review!

Short stay Cardiff arms

It was just what we needed for a overnight stay clean and tidy and warm. The bar was good and staff very friendly. The only thing we felt that would make it better was if they did breakfast but they do give you a Greggs voucher for 5 pounds per couple so overall it was good value for the money we would stay there again.

We spent a couple of days in the family room. My girls (7 and 13) were delighted by the room, as were my husband and I. We didn't want to leave! The family room was gorgeous and modern with luxurious touches, and yet a very practical setup. The room was immaculate, which is something that I always dread when staying away from home, so that was such a relief! Hats off to the cleaning team! It was also so refereshing to spend time in property that isn't part of a chain company. We travelled to Barry Island, which was an hour away during a lunchtime commute. There's so much to travel to in relation to sight seeing a stones throw away. We definitely didn't mind the distance because the comfort that the room provided us with was wonderful. We ate at the bistro next door and the food was fab - something for everyone. The staff were very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back! :)
