A quiet stress free haven (Cardiff )

The house is part of a terrace of large Victorian properties built at the end of the 19th century. Kyvielog Street is a short road which is bordered at one end by Cathedral Road (one of the main routes into the city) and at the other end by Pontcanna Fields, an extensive parkland through which it is a pleasant short walk to the New Theatre, the Sherman Theatre and the city itself. There is also good public transport.

There are two rooms available for digs guests. Main Room 1 is on the third floor. It is light and airy with a good view. The room itself comprises a double bedroom which is comfortably furnished. The bed is new and of a good quality. Linen is supplied and changed weekly or as required. The bedding is of good quality, non-allergic fabric.

There is a TV in the room that receives digital free-to-view programmes. The house has good wi-fi available.

Next to the bedroom is a private bathroom which consists of a bath, overhead shower, sink and toilet. You have exclusive use of this bathroom during your stay. Towels are provided and laundered weekly or more frequently if required.

Main Room 2 is also a double bedroom. It is on the second floor and overlooks a delightful garden. The room has a en-suite bathroom with shower, sink and toilet.

We want guests to feel relaxed and able to rest after a hard day of working. The owners of the house will respect your privacy and would expect that the same from you.

The area around Kyveilog Street hosts a number of useful facilities. The Welsh Institute of Sport where, for a small fee, you can join and enjoy the gym etc. There a number of places to eat locally from take away to posh nosh. There are a number of local shops within less than a few minutes walk away (chemist, grocers, butcher, deli, post office, and off licence).

There are plenty of cafes, pubs etc nearby. Chapter Arts Centre, which is within easy walking distance, offers a range of film and theatre and dance events. It also has a good bar and offers a reasonable range of food.

More broadly Cardiff offers the usual main stream films and a good variety of theatres and music events. The National Gallery of Wales in the city centre is well worth a visit if you enjoy fine art.

Lovely house and very friendly hosts. They gave me useful information about the local area and made me feel very welcome.

It is a little bit further away from the theatre than is ideal for some people but it's a nice walk through the park and I felt perfectly safe when walking home at night (even when the rugby was on!).

I would definitely stay here again. Superb!

Great digs that are a stones throw from the beautiful Bute Park.

Clean, light and airy. A 15 minute walk to the New Theatre through the park and a few minutes more at night via the main road.

A very enjoyable stay!

Peter and Chris are wonderfully friendly, generous hosts who made my 2 week stay in Cardiff feel as though I was visiting with good friends.

The bedroom is spacious, bright and airy, yet cosy; the bed is very comfortable and the bathroom is bright, airy, clean & modern.

The accommodation/home w... read more as clean and very well-presented.

It is conveniently located to all the necessary amenities and suited my needs perfectly. The High Street and Cardiff Castle are a very easy stroll away.

I found this to be an excellent place to stay and I recommend it to anyone requiring accommodation in Cardiff.

Effortlessly stylish decor, as quiet and stress free as the title suggests and perfectly hosted.
