After reading other reviews it seems pipe problems is fairly regular and so I have to believe mold is an issue. And then we woke up to yellow water dripping down the bathroom ceiling. There was no fitted sheet on the bed, when I called down to inquire they said they don't use fitted sheets but a bed sheet is used and tucked in around the mattress BUT the sheet wasn't big enough to actually be tucked in. The pillows and bedding was poor quality. To top it all off we had loud drunk people yelling outside our window for hours. The windows did nothing to keep the noise out.

I have no idea whether our experience was typical for this "establishment," which I'm not sure about, but my impression is that it's called Culley's Kitchen and Bar and that it's situated within the Coal Exchange Hotel in Cardiff. I described my soup, entree and dessert below the appended photos. Suffice it to say, beyond that, while the soup wasn't bad, the entree and dessert were great. The room reminded me of a gym with tables and chandeliers and the performing "stage" was just a space beyond the tables. Our evening was dinner theater tailored for tourists and they all did a fine job.

Surrounded by breathtaking views of Welsh countryside, it's is an amazing venue for everything from private parties to corporate hospitality events. The reception room and bar comfortably accommodated the 68 wedding guests in attendance, creating a perfect atmosphere for an intimate and relaxed gathering. The outdoor deck area boasts stunning views of the lake and surrounding forest, with ample seating and a freestanding fire contraption to keep guests warm on a cold evening. Word of advice: don't bother entering the post code into the Sat Nav, you won't find it. My boyfriend and I had to stop and ask a few locals for directions, so allocate extra time if you need to be punctual. Even local taxi drivers are unreliable, as I found after speaking to a few wedding guests (it took 50 minutes to get 0.7 of a mile at 2 pm on Saturday because he too had no idea how to get here). A sufficient amount of parking is available - just watch those stilettos on the gravel-lain ground!

This review is about Canada Lake and its fishing facilities - and not about Canada Lodge, which is…read morea venue on the same site used for weddings and other events (see the reviews by other Yelpers!). Set in five acres of well-maintained grounds with a woodland backdrop, Canada Lake is easily accessible from Cardiff (just a few miles northwest near the village of Creigiau) and is a pleasant setting for a day's fishing. It's full of natural wildlife and the lake is stocked with both brown and rainbow trout, and is popular with both beginners and keen fishing enthusiasts. Brown trout have to be released back into the lake. The average fish size is two and a half pounds, but fish up to ten pounds have been caught. Open to the public, they provide a Leisure & Fly service (no need to book in advance) as well as corporate fishing packages. For leisure users there are various tariffs available for full days or allowing you to catch up to a certain number of fish, and so on.

There is also a farm shop in the park selling organic veg, free range eggs from the farm, local meat, cheeses, chutneys, jams and toys and gifts. There is no charge to just use the cafe or farm shop.

I've been to a rug bizarre here, been meaning to try out the Steiner toddlers group on a Thursday morning and have been to a 40th at this venue. The hall itself is oblong and a good size, it has power points and a kitchen, tables, chairs and toilets. One of the things I really like about St.Catherines is that there's a grassy outdoor area punctuated by trees for children to run around on and partied out adults to loiter. As well as it's use by Steiner groups, craft bizarres and for private venue hire, the hall is also used for judo, live music and 'disco tots'. Call the hall for more details about any of these activities and functions or if your passing have a look at the notice board by the entrance for more details.

Wow is a good word to describe this place. Posh is another one…read more This is the kind of place were you can't wear jeans. I went for Sunday roast with my family to celebrate my Gran's birthday and it really was something special. The service was amazing, everything was attended to without a second thought. The meal itself was beautiful, a bit different from a traditional pub lunch but really, really good and the pudding was amazing. I thought it was going to bankrupt my family but at £20 a head for the three courses it was pretty good value for money. And after dinner we went and had a little walk around all of its beautiful gardens. It would also make a beautiful venue for weddings.

Wow! We learned about The Baker's Table on a Talgarth Mill brochure left at our AirBnB in Penderyn,…read moreon the other side of Brecon Beacons park... We were heading back to London the next day, and at first thought "too bad this isn't on our way home," but the next morning decided we wanted to see more of the park anyway, as well as a few other points north before our weeklong adventure adjourned... What a pleasure it was to stop here on that dreary morning! When we arrived around 10:30am, the whole place was bustling with what turned out to be a tour group of retirees, about to tour the historic adjacent mill. The setup is counter service style: order your items, take your number and choose a table (indoors or outdoors). Most of the indoor tables overlook the brook running through the mill; the outdoor tables are in the courtyard of the mill buildings. They don't have a true breakfast, per se, but they have teas, coffee/espresso drinks, breads, cakes and cookies available all day, most of which are made using grains locally harvested and milled right there. There are some gluten free options available as well. At 11:30, their lunch menu is available and features sandwiches, soup and salads, all made from locally sourced, processed and grown Welsh foods. We were still finishing up our morning coffee, enjoying the chill vibe of the place (especially after the tour group moved on - haha!) by the time lunch was available, so we decided to stick around a little longer and try it out too! After much deliberation about how to best sample their offerings (everything sounded AMAZING), we opted for a soup/sandwich combo with the ham, cheese & mustard sandwich and fresh garden pea and mint soup, along with a "board" that included salad, two cheeses, local ham, an apple, fresh cherry tomatoes, house chutney and fresh bread. So simple, but so delicious!! We ate it ALL... I can't recommend enough the sheer quality of this real, simple but delicious local food. Other items to note: Credit cards require a £10 minimum charge. Locally made gifts and gourmet food items are available for purchase. Restroom entrance is in the courtyard, but there are public toilets in the adjacent building, facing the street as well. Free Wi-Fi. Check out the Talgarth Mill Craft Shop next door if you are looking for locally made Welsh treasures to take home. Free parking (and recycling drop-off) is available a couple of short blocks away, just off the highway. The Talgarth visitor's centre across the street is there for all kinds of information about the area, or, if you'd just like to converse with the friendly locals.
