Absolutely loved this B&B. The owners are very friendly and it's fantastic they've been able to save and restore such a gorgeous manor house. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back if we're ever in the Caerphilly area again.

Beautiful location, the host was so friendly, the room was gorgeous. Only a 20min train from Cardiff. I wish I stayed longer! The town is a short walk away, and there is access to trails through grassy fields right next to the inn.
