    We received a warm welcome on arrival and were shown to our room which was clean and comfortable. We had a meal in the evening, which was very good.

    Bed in room 7 twin nearest door matress dips in middle even with foam topper, couldn't get comfortable. However friends bed was very comfortable.

    The lady from the pub was super friendly. Let us park after check while we went into Cardif. Check if wed had a nice day. Location is great short 30 minute direct bus or 15 minute £12 taxi. The room was well presented and clean. High pressure shower.

    Room faced road/car park so aware of coming and going. Noise from people drinking outside at next door pub but all died down quickly at closing time.

    Convenient stop over. Room small but clean and tea/coffee facilities welcome. Did not use pub facilities as we'd been out for lunch but it was busy and seemed popular.

    Whatever was happening next door until 12am with loud music. When you've had a 6 hour journey and all you want to do is sleep, that didn't help (I assume nothing to do with the guest house or the bar at Tyr Winch). The only option for breakfast is a hamper of cold foods - freshly prepared, apparently - but hubby was looking forward to a fry up, so off into Cardiff we go. They have missed a treat - out of the rooms by 10am but the bar doesn't open until 12pm. Most people aren't going to hang around for 2 hours to return to the pub. Just my opinion, obviously, but we were slightly disappointed.

    Room was easily accessible once you signed in. Staff were friendly and happy to help. Lots of car park spaces available (although car park was tight for going round so don't park your car on an edge!)

    A Perfect Gem - worth a visit

    The only thing we said, which isn't a "dislike" so we mean no negativity with this observation. Was - the bed could have had better quality pillows, as ours (room 3) were very lackluster. One more tiny little disappointment - advertised in the description was a coffee machine, not an issue as there was a full selection of tea, hot chocolate & instant coffee, but we do love a "proper" coffee during our stays away from home, so, we were looking forward to a few "nice" cups of coffee.

    From the moment we arrived to leaving, our expectations were more than met. 10/10. Driving into the car park, we instantly knew we would love it here at Ty'r Winch guest house, beautiful decor, lovely hanging baskets brimming with summer flowers, this place is a perfect little gem. The staff were absolutely attentive and they ensured our stay would be a memorable one. The accommodation was spotless, with a very tastefully decorated room, this attention to detail followed into the bathroom where there is a "Rain Forest" mixer shower, and is superbly tiled throughout. We dined in the pub, which is right next door and again it was of impeccable decor, browsing the menu it was full of mouthwatering dishes, we settled on the Ribeye steak, also a nice little touch on the menu was, each dish had a recommendation on which wine would accompany the meal. The steak literally melted in your mouth and the portion size was absolutely spot on, again the staff checked everything was ok and that we were happy with everything. There is a beautiful little area outside for a nightcap, seating and benches, covered with perfect lighting and flowers. Upon returning to our room, we slept peacefully and comfortably on a very comfortable bed, Totally undisturbed by any noises from other rooms. (Truly soundproof). We will definitely be sharing our experience with friends & family and hope to return soon. Thank You to the manager who was amazing, ensuring our stay was perfect.

    This is very minor and not a reason to not stay. More a comment to the owners. Even though the bathroom was immaculate there was nowhere for my beauty bag and so I had to put it on the floor of the bathroom.

    Exceptionally clean bathroom, very comfortable bed with lovely linen. Welcoming decor and everything you need for a relaxing stay. Separate building to the restaurant and pub so a peaceful atmosphere and quiet sleep was appreciated. Loved it and book again next time in outer Cardiff.
