Maltsters short break
Lovely place. Only problem, and only a minor issue, was a little noisy outside occasionally during the night. Sraff were really friendly and professional. Room was superb. Would definitely stay here again. Excellent location.

Really pleasant stay of a few days in this pub. The staff were all great - helpful and personable. Room was suprisingly large and fairly well appointed. Bed comfortable, water hot and plentiful and food very good indeed. I had been concerned about noise but those concerns were unfounded. A few things that could have been better: The shower dripped - A LOT! I managed to put a sponge under it which stopped the noise otherwise it would have driven me mad. Apparently it's going to be fixed soon. The heating in the room was a bit odd - the A/C indicated it would heat and most of the time it did, although rather intermittently. There is a back up option of a plug in radiator. The thing that really bugged me was having the cleaners in every day. I'd said not to bother but they "tidied" nontheless. Having towels changed daily just isn't necessary or desirable. If you'r there on business then the desk wasn't really big enough to work on. TBH, that wasn't a problem as I found a quiet table in the bar and worked from there. The food in the pub is far better than your average "pub-grub". Being Xmas, there wasn't much in the way of other options so I ate here most nights and didn't have a disappointing meal. Good food and good beer - perfect! I'd certainly stay again.

Things that go bump…..
I have stayed here before and that in itself is a recommendation. Last time I was in a room in the rear part with no exterior noise issues. This time I was in a room with a view of the scenic High St of Llandaff beautifully lit for Christmas; there was no issue with external noise, just occasional bumping noises from 6.00am on possibly chairs being moved around in the dining area below. Other than that, absolutely fine!

Nice stay comfotable room. Good breakfast. Friendly staff. One slightly sticky table in bedroom but I have a feeling it had been re varnished and not dried out properly.
