Just in the park there's the river taxi that can take you all the way to the mermaid quay which is nice. In the park jsut over the footbridge (shows on google maps) there's a good cafe where you can get breakfast baps which were lovely. Host was very friendly and gave us good local info. Great base for a lovely weekend, would recommend to friends!

Boasting a garden and views of garden, The Mews is a guest house set in a historic building in Cardiff, 1.3 km from University of South Wales - Cardiff Campus. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. Guests have access to a sauna and hot tub.

A beautiful home to stay in, the host was very welcoming, helpful and friendly, and we were very impressed with the facilities. We really enjoyed using the hot tub and loved the sociable aspect of the shared kitchen and garden as we made friends with other guests during our stay. The self service breakfast was plentiful and we felt very at home. The prpperty is a short and straightforward walk into the city centre, we used this as our overnight base for a concert at the principality stadium (20 mins walk) and would definitely reccomend to anyone thinking of doing the same!

    The location was perfect for my needs as I was driving and it was only 5 mins drive from where I had to perform. I could park outside for free which is was great. Surprisingly the small flat was located inside a private home but it had its own entrance so it was no problem at all with that. The flat was superb, extremely well conditioned to the needs, with coffee, sugar, tea, even milk in the fridge. Bed super comfy and also the sofa bed was great.
