Howard and Catherine were excellent hosts making my wife and I feel at home. Breakfast was great with plenty of options from homemade granola with fresh fruit to a full cooked breakfast of your choice. The location was good as our relatives lived close and there was easy access to major roads. We would recommend staying here

The location is perfect to getting around Wales. It's pretty much central to everywhere. Catherine and Howard are epic hosts, so welcoming and warm. The breakfast is second to none and they cater for all dietary needs. The rooms are extremely comfortable and the house is just a wonder.

Having to leave.

The house is beautiful and you feel like you are in a stately home. The room was large and had everything you needed, the beds very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, freshly cooked with a good selection of options to choose from. So many small details made for a wonderful stay including the heart shaped Welsh cakes left for us. The hosts were engaging and very helpful.

The hosts were amazing and catered to our needs, along with making us feel right at home. The house was stunning, along with the breakfast in the morning cooked by the hosts (Welsh cakes were especially good!) the bed was very comfortable for a good nights sleep and the bathroom facilities were great. Would definitely recommend and would love to come back!

Maybe visitors would beneifit from knowing before booking they cannot wear shoes in hotel saving the need to go purchase slippers when we had some at home

Lovely hotel beautifully furnished with perfect hosts and breakfast was lovely with a good range of choice for times

The main thing is how you feel about where you stay and nothing could have been better!! Catherine was lovely and Howard’s a great guy! We felt so welcome to their home and the rooms are spacious and very well furnished. We’ve stayed many places and this is one of the best!!

Breakfast was lovely and the table layout and the room was so clean and very well presented. A great start to the day with wonderful hosts. Just couldn’t fault anything.

Weather was hot and sticky so we slept with the windows open which meant you could hear a bit of traffic but nothing too bad, and certainly wouldn't put us off staying there again.

Breakfast was fantastic. The house is full of interesting pictures, ornaments and furniture - something interesting or quirky to see on every wall and surface. Beautiful gardens too. Parking on-site behind a locked gate. Catherine and Howard were lovely people to meet.

There was nothing we didn't like. When I found this place on booking.com after seeing the highest guest reviews/score, I shared the link with my family and with my boss at work, because it looked so beautiful. The experience of being there cannot be conveyed in the pictures!

Oh my gosh, where to start! First of all, the Gellihaf House was the MOST enjoyable, bespoke & beautiful place my hubby and I have EVER stayed at. The front garden is gorgeous and there are crazy chickens in the back! The public space on the ground/1st floor is just amazing! So many things to look at and enjoy. Our bedroom and bathroom is pretty much how I wish mine looked like ! The bed was dead comfy with the beautiful cotton sheets, the bathroom couldn't be cleaner if I tried. But the best part of our stay were our hosts, Cathy and Howard. What absolutely lovely, kind, interesting and funny people! Cathy made the most delicious breakfast, I really tried to restrain myself, but I am the reason why the muffins were all gone. The full Welsh breakfast was so delicious - home-grown tomatoes and locally sourced bacon/sausages! I've even booked mum and dad here for when they visit Wales. And next time I see my brother and his family, it will have to be when there is availability at the Gellihaf! Thank you, Cathy and Howard, for the most unforgetable stay !

The car entrance is best from only one direction.

The very warm personal welcome from Howard and Catherine. The house has been superbly renovated. Out bedroom was spacious and spotlessly clean. The breakfast was delicious with a good range of items and the hot elements cooked to order with local suppliers. It is in an ideal location in the historic Welsh mining area with Caerphilly Castle nearby.

We had a great stay at Catherine‘s and Howard‘s accomodation. They gave us great tips for the surroundings, made outstanding breakfast and the accomodation itself was very clean, beautiful and makes you experience a real british way of living. We can highly recommend to stay here when in Wales. Thank you Catherine and Howard!

Nothing, it was faultless

Catherine and Howard was wonderful hosts, they went out of their way to accomdate us and make us feel welcome. The breakfast was exceptional and our room was divine with the most incredible bathroom. We are local and were staying for a wedding, but we most certainly intend to return very soon.
