Outstanding stay, food and company.
Amazing place and pub/overnight stay. This is a little gem and the owners and staff should be proud of the great pub and guest rooms they run. The locals are friendly and nice, and this pub is at the heart of the community as it should be. Anyone who wants fantastic food, great staff and company needing a room or meal within 20 miles of this place should divert there. I cannot commend this establishment enough. I travel all over the UK with my job, and this is by fsr my favourite place to stay bar none.

A one night stay
We had a very enjoyable stay after a good family party at the pub.
The attic room was very comfortable, though rather too warm. We had to open the windows, but the heavy rain that night meant we couldn't leave them open too much.
Also, that heavy rain on the Velux windows did disturb us quite a bit. Nothing that the Inn could do about it, just lead to disturbed sleep.

Great country pub with accommodation near Cardiff.
This is a lovely pub with restaurant just north of Cardiff. It's in the country but only about 20 minutes out of the city by car. It's set at the bottom of a mountain/large hill, in beautiful countryside. At the top there are views over South Wales and beyond to Somerset. The pub has accommodation attached, with 3 rooms. Ours was comfortable, clean and well-appointed with good facilities. It was quiet in the room even though the pub was sometimes busy. The service-levels were high. The staff were attentive and friendly. They are really can do (where many places are not).. in particular, the owner/front of house manager Rob made sure all customers and guests were looked-after.. The bar staff were great and I want to especially mention Sarah who works there, Maggie and Rob managing the accommodation, they were all great.. Thanks for a memorable experience.

Our room was exceptionally comfortable and impeccably clean, with a cozy bed that ensured a great night's sleep. Additionally, our interactions with Monika were outstanding, and Rob and Maggie made us feel truly at home. The Full Welsh Breakfast Maggie prepared was exceptionally delicious! I highly recommend this Inn and would return if the chance presented itself.

Clean, decent sized rooms.
I was initially concerned about noise from the bar below but this was not a problem, even with windows open and customers outside below. Because it was so warm, we did have all the windows open and noise from the nearby A470 was a bit of a problem.
Great breakfast. We didn't eat in the restaurant but the menu looked good.
