We stayed here on 22 March 2012. Lovely location. Spring just starting - tranquil. Just opposite one of the best outdoor museums in the UK - Welsh Museum of Folk Life. Food really excellent (though don't be disappointed if some things are off the menu, as it is all truly fresh). Charming staff. Lovely comfortable bed, but duvet a bit... More

We went for Mothers day lunch and were really disappointed. On arrival our table wasn't ready so we waited for 15 minutes. Once in the dining room we were shown to a very small table which would have been small for two people but for three of us was pretty squashed - one place setting had no cutlery and there... More

Bought a combined deal, 2 nights & 7 course dinner that was excellent value. Large car park to rear and the pub next door is worth a visit especially if you are a bit early for 6pm+ check in (Note: pub shuts at 11 sharp!). Check in 12-3 or 6+. Food was good and varied for dinner and the full... More

We bought a Living Social deal which involved a 2 night stay with a 7 taster meal. We arrived on a Thursday morning.We had read that we would be able to register between 12 and 3 pm so we decided to have a walk around St Fagan`s Museum first. We parked in the spacious car park at the rear of... More

I booked a two night stay with taster menu via a living social deal as a treat for my husband's birthday. We had difficulty getting through - no phone answer and no answer to our emails so we contacted the Cardiff Tourist Information Office. We had just about given up hope and were considering other options when the restaurant/hotel phoned... More

This guest house and restaurant has been very tastefully refurbished. The room we stayed in was lovely, very big with a very comfortable bed. We bought a Groupon deal which was extremely good value for money! Although the 7 course "taster" was way too much food for me. I would have been happy to have stayed for the same money... More

We bought a groupon deal which was extremely good value for money. Our room was lovely and really big, from reading previous reviews I think we ended up with one of the best rooms at the front. The owners were extremely accommodating and found us a room at the last minute, my husband who is in the navy only had... More

The Old Post Office looked suspiciously quiet when we arrived. And after trying both doors and circling the building several times the place was clearly empty. After waiting half an hour, checking the date and check-in time (both correct) my boyfriend tried phoning them. He looked at me, stony faced and said that there was a message on their answer... More

Having read many negative reviews on the Old Post Office we went for our Groupon with trepidation, we needn't have worried. It's important to be objective and given the price we paid we were not disappointed, sometimes you have to be realistic and having eaten in Mitchelin starred restaurants I like to think I'm a pretty good judge. The service... More

Took advantage of a "deal" but wish we had stayed at home! The food was mediocre (soup not hot at all and very watery). The room was disgusting with layers of black mould around the window and in the bathroom all over the shower curtain. At no point did any staff ask how things were - food, accommodation or if...
