    There is no breakfast provided now which is a real shame. Since the bar/restaurant has been sold off they decided not to do breakfast. That’s the only drawback!

    The beds are so comfy. Cosy warm and clean. Love staying here. Staff are fabulous and friendly.

    The welcome by the staff was very warm and friendly they clearly love there job. The room was kept beautifully and the bed was amazing so comfortable that we didn't want to get out. It was very tranquil in the evening,very peaceful and just what we needed sitting on the deck and watching the water was a lovely treat. We will definitely be returning for sure. Thank you guys 😊💕

    We liked everything, it's a beautiful place to stay. I highly recommend Penarth Marina. We caused an issue which we were deeply apologetic for. It was dealt with in a very kind and professional manner. I can't big this place up enough. The staff are fantastic, the restaurant and cafe at the marina are well worth a visit. It's a very relaxing and friendly place to stay. Go there you won't be disappointed.

    I wish places not just here would go back to the old way. Map showing here you are , bus stops, train station, boat trips etc.... Every is OK if you can get a good signal otherwise you've got to take pot luck in finding places.

    The rooms were cleaned everyday with fresh towels.

    Nothing - everything was perfect

    What a gem of a place . Stunning views, modern rooms with high quality finishes, beautiful selection of toiletries again of high end quality and lovely tea / coffee tray and biscuits we felt we were on our own mini cruise ship. Lovely to have the balcony and close to a choice of Restaurants without the need to drive. Informative and friendly staff. have already recommended to family and friends and will definitely stay again if in the area ( we live 4.5 hours away ) Wished we had booked another night now . Good value for money compared to some other places we stayed in Wales

    The automatic light under the sinks in the bathroom that cannot be disabled. It is very bright and stays on a long time. The rooms become a sauna in hot weather and would benefit from air conditioning.

    Great attitude from staff and great accommodation

    We did hear the boats around us but they didn’t bother us too much. Our only downside was the poor pressure in the shower but it was still ok.

    The location on the marina with free parking was perfect for our fishing trip. Bed was extremely comfortable, room was perfect, the private lockable balcony with an outside cupboard was a bonus! The staff are very nice and friendly. Elle was so accommodating and she kept the room clean and tidy.

    We liked everything, but would recommend an eye mask if you're a light sleeper.

    Everything. This was an incredibly relaxing and unique stay. The staff were great, the facilities all clean and luxurious, and waking up on the water was a real highlight. The bed was unbelievably comfortable and I would definitely recommend breakfast at the Galley just next door!

    We had some problems with locking a door, which the staff knew about and intend to fix.

    Wonderfully comfortable accommodation. Lovely location. It was all very clean and everything thought of. Best of all are the staff, especially Ell who went out of her way to make it special.

    The door to the outside veranda/dock banged all night-we should have wedged a sock or something. All in all, it did not break the enjoyment

    Loved the actual pontoon
