While on my motorcycle tour through Wales, I was looking for a last-minute place to stay near Cardiff as a starting point for exploring the Brecon Beacons National Park. Luckily, I came across Cresselly Inn. The room was newly renovated, bright, and modern – very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent and offered everything I needed. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating a relaxed and homely atmosphere from the moment I arrived. A special highlight of my stay was the quiz night. I had just checked in and was already invited to join a quiz team. I ended up having a lovely evening with the locals – one of those travel moments you don’t forget. I rarely feel this welcomed as a solo traveler. I can highly recommend Cresselly Inn – whether you’re just passing through or planning a longer stay in the area. Authentic, friendly, and simply a great place to feel at home.

From check-in to departure, everything was perfect. Hosts were very friendly and welcoming, once checked in we were told how to get to our room on the 1st floor. Room was immaculate and beautifully furnished, bed was spacious and bathroom was beautiful too with a massive walk-in shower, toiletries, and towels. The room had tea/coffee making facilities , coat hangers and a hair dryer in the desk drawer. We had a fabulous nights sleep, and went down early for breakfast. The host and chef were very accommodating to our breakfast requirements, and through conversation our vegan alternative full Welsh breakfast did not disappoint. It was superb. We had a walk around the area during the evening and had a drink in the pub opposite our hotel which was busy and lively... it was NYE so didn't expect any different. Overall, we had a fabulous time and would definitely love to stay again in the near future.

The breakfast was excellent. The location was close to bus depot as we do not have a car. The purpose of our visit was to visit my sister who was in Hospital.

    I really enjoyed my stay!

    I really enjoyed my stay! Hosts were very friendly and helpful. The house was very cosy and welcoming. It seemed that you are in your family house. Bedrooms were not too big, but it was enough. We stayed just for couple days, most of time went for hiking, because Brecon beacons park was very close. Local people were very nice and friendly. Kids could go to the playground which was situated opposite the house. Very peaceful and quiet neighbourhood, so we had a good rest. Garden was stunning and very well maintained, so we had a spot where we spend our evenings. Kitchen was full of necessary items, so you don’t need to think about spoons, plates or utensils. You will get more than enough. Fridge, washing machine, microwave, kettle, absolutely everything you get there. The bath was stunning, cosy and clean. Even bath salt you can get there, loads of towels, toilet paper and cleaning products. I felt like a family member there, so nice and so cosy place. Hosts though about every detail and necessary things which could be necessary for you to your stay. Do not expect big spaces there, but we as a family spent a wonderful time together. Even found games! 👌I really recommend this place for small families and small groups of friends. The only thing which bothered me was recycling! I didn’t know how to recycle right, so we just gave up🙈 The house was full of nice decorations and absolutely wonderful wall pictures, those details gave us understanding about house character. I just felt in love with this house😍
