“This could be the oldest licensed pub in Cardiff, a historic hotel offering uniquely decorated rooms with Nespresso machines and a very lively bar; free parking is a definite plus in this city. I think it's a real find for anyone looking for a place with character, a stone's throw from both Llandaff Cathedral and the city centre, for real ales or a relaxed dinner. Housekeeping issues reported give me pause, though.”
