Alun Sheppard
Traveller Review Award Winner 2021.(9.5) This place feels like a New York style Studio loft. Modern feel in an old building. Great open plan space with combined kitchen, dining, sleeping and living area but segregated. The high ceilings give an airy light open feel. Lots of amenities in the Studio. 50 inch tv, with dvd player and my own collection of films for you to watch as well as Netflix streaming service and Broadband. Any feedback would be appreciated as we are working to provide what guests really need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The studio has been newly renovated and decorated. Please note there is an internal camera inside the hallway to monitor who accesses the property. Additional guests not booked who use the apartment at any time must be advised or an additional charge may be made and deducted from the security and damages deposit.
Hi Im Alun. A traditional Welsh spelling of a common name. Welcome to visitors to Cardiff and Castell Haven Studio . The Apartment used to be my own home and I have many happy memories of the city. So it is a well loved and looked after place to stay. It is right in the city centre and close to the Castle, shops and local hostelries. The studio is truly a peaceful and comfortable haven in a lively and beautiful city . We do our very best to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
1 Take a visit to the Castle 50m away. Visit the grand rooms, the Keep, and the Welch Regiment museum. I got married in the Castle and had my reception in the Great Hall. 2. Get a boat trip to Cardiff bay. They leave every 30mins from the River Jetty in Bute Park 300m away. Enjoy morning tea in the tea shop near the park entrance. 3. Explore the arcades nearby...specialist cheeses, crafts and some quirky cafes and bars 4. The city centre shops are a must of course as is the bustling Cardiff nightlife. Try Bootlegger on Womanby Street for live music
