Property information

We are a small, friendly guesthouse right in the city centre of Cardiff 300m from the Castle and overlooking the river. The Central Station is a 10-minute walk along the riverbank. All the central shopping, all the bars and restaurants are just a few minutes walk away.

Neighbourhood information

Ideally located here in the city centre. The Principality (Millennium) Stadium is just across the river. Sophia Gardens Glamorgan Cricket Ground is less than 10 minutes walk. Cardiff City Football Stadium is less than a mile away. Universities and the National Museum are 10 - 15 minutes walk. The main shopping area is a 5 minute walk. Water taxis taking you to the Cardiff Bay can be boarded just a few minutes walk. So as you can see you don't need your car or public transport to get around to any of the central attractions.
