Gwaelod Y Garth Inn - Cardiff

Really nice eating. large selection of beer. wonderful service: very adaptable and considerate. had a huge effort for my vegan friend, although it wasn't something they usually did.

The Gwaelod y Garth is a real hidden gem of a location for a short stay. Tucked in at the back of the pub, there are three perfectly cosy rooms, all with comfy beds, hot showers, tea/coffee making, fridge, iron/ironing board, hairdryer etc. Being three adults, we occupied all three rooms so, once inside the front door we had the whole space to ourselves …….almost Airbnb style. Breakfast was taken in the pub and was excellent, with fresh fruits, cereals and yoghurts to start followed by choices of cooked breakfasts and toast, all of which was beautifully presented, with the use of some local produce. I was told that the Sunday roasts have a great local reputation but we were not able to sample it (well, not this time round!! . The staff were all really friendly and helpful and Maggie and Rob were both a delight to chat to on our last day. We would be more than delighted to use this lovely location again when next in Cardiff and would recommend it to others. Two minor points: It would be helpful to have a little shelving in the bathroom for washing bag/shampoo etc. Outside, due to the narrow section of road and the popularity of this lovely pub you might find parking nearby in the evening a bit of a challenge. Luckily, we did find parking in the car park each evening during our stay.

Joke. £4 lime soda water. Refused to pay abd had a load of abuse Not just from bar man but also the landlord. This drink is about 60p in most other pubs

A place to the top! We discovered this restaurant thanks to my father-in-law who had been there for a long time during the Rugby Periods. He made us discover a friendly place with very good food of good wine and good beers! to redo for a next rugby game!

"The food at this old and authentic pub is fantastic. In the early evening, you'll often see the locals stopping by, creating a friendly atmosphere. There are not many pubs like this wonderful place. The food is great, and they offer real ales in a clean and friendly environment."
