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.

    A very spacious house with 4 double bedrooms and lovely individual decor in each room. House is in a private, quiet location. It was easy to find and gave us a great base for travelling to the National Eisteddfod in Pontypridd. Would recommend to others. Great location for exploring the area.

    Easy to find and parking outside. Was much bigger inside than inspected and very clean and tidy. They are currently doing some improvements to garden decking but did pre warn us and were no issue anyway. Good size rooms and beds, clean and tidy. Fresh milk and coffee and tea stuff provided, towels. Host was easy to speak to, helped with us sorting our travel arrangements out whilst in the area and local places to eat. General spot on.
