Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A four-star pub with individually designed bedrooms above it on Cathedral Road in Pontcanna, Cardiff's leafy neighbourhood west of the River Taff. It's a walk into the city centre. It suits a city or rugby weekend where the dog comes too. Dog-friendly rooms come with a Happy Dog Hamper, a bed or blanket and a bowl, and Bute Park is on the doorstep.
