    You can just feel the ghosts of pirates in this seaside tavern. With its nooks and crannies, it's…read morejust perfect for an illicit rendevouz and talks of treasure over a glass of brandy and the crackling fire. This has got to be one of the oldest pubs in South Wales, it's medieval and dates from 1380. This is one of those places that reminds you how small we used to be - I'm only 5ft 7 and I stoop through the worn wooden doors. I havn't eaten here, but there is also a well respected restaurant upstairs offering a good selection of seafood dishes. Dishes include: Brixham Crab Cake with baby leaves and lemon butter sauce (£5.25); Plaice Goujons with paprika and a sweet red pepper tartar sauce (£4.95); Roasted Fillet of Hake with a chorizo and roasted red pepper risotto ith tomato, garlic and orange sauce for £13.95 For the vegetarians on the day I visited there was: Tomato Fondue, Wild Mushroom and Aubergine Bake, finished with garlic crumb and poached egg (£4.95) and Rosemary and Truffle Arancini Risotto with a tomato, red onion and spring onion salsa ( £4.95). The restaurant opening times are Monday to Saturday from 7pm to 9.30pm. They also offer bar meals between 12 and 2 pm Mondays to Saturdays and evening meals Monday to Friday from 6 to 8 pm.

    One of my favorite pubs when I come home to Wales. I've been coming here for 40+ years. Great…read morebeers, lovely staff, exceedingly good food on a great menu, and a building that should last another half millennium plus. And a beautiful spot for a picture that will include a thatched roof and hanging baskets.

    Can't recommend a stay here due to the bizarre green light above the bedroom door. It's after 3am…read moreand I haven't slept a wink. Tried covering my head with pillows, my blanket, etc and it's no use as the glow of the light is such that I feel I'm sleeping under a street light. Dreadful.

    This a lovely, historic pub in a lovely historic village, in the heart of the Vale of Glamorgan,…read morebetween Barry and Cowbridge. Llancarfan may be tiny now, but it was once home to one of the most important Welsh monasteries in the mid-6th century, founded by the mysterious St Cadog. The only remnant of this is the church, rebuilt many times since then, and some earthworks. But set in lovely countryside, it's an excellent place for long week-end walks. The pub itself dates from the 16th century, and the stone walls and low-beamed ceilings certainly feel like it. Although it's quite large, it feels cosy and features roaring fires in winter. Outside, there's a lovely beer garden, set beside a stream. An idyllic spot on a hot day. As well as the local Brains beers, (including the renowned Brains SA - Special Ale, better known as Skull Attack...) the pub features regular guest ales. But the pub is also famed throughout the area for its food. It's as close as you get hereabouts to a gastro-pub, but with nice, straightforward cooking and sensible prices. Although I'm a veggie, I'm told the Welsh Lamb is superb. The staff are helpful, efficient and friendly, although it can get very busy indeed on summer week-end lunchtimes. I've not stayed there, but the pub and setting is attractive enough, and the staff are so friendly, that I'd suggest this venue rather than one of the dreary chain hotels if you were flying into or out of nearby Cardiff Airport (and at £75 B&B for a twin room, it's good value).
