Great host, fabulous breakfasts. An interesting and atmospheric B&B conveniently located on a safe 20mph road near the Taff Trail. Walk north to Tongwynlais (cafe & pub) and then on to Castle Coch (cafe closed 2025) Cycle on the Taff Trail to Bute Park, Cardiff Castle, Cardiff Bay Wetlands and Cardiff Bay Barrage. 1km walk to Radyr Station for (15 min) train ride to Cardiff Bay & Mermaid Quay and boat trips, Millennium Centre, Pierhead Building etc By train from Cardiff to Barry Island (30min) with its clean, safe, sandy beaches. Off road car parking at front, outdoor cycle storage at rear. Recommended.

The location was excellent being five mins from the train station (park and ride) giving a stress free way into Cardiff. There was parking, it’s a pretty property with great character. Our room was large and very comfortable with the most amount of extras and goodies I’ve seen in any hotel and B&B ever - biscuits with tea and coffee AND water and Welsh cakes replenished daily, bathrobes too. For us the bed was perfectly comfortable, a choice of pillows and I’m sure it was king size. The bathroom was on the small size but the shower cubicle was larger than average and was perfect for a few days. The shower was good too. We loved the ‘porch room’ for sitting in with a coffee and chilling, I’m sure it’s stunning with the fire in the winter. The breakfasts were unreal with so much choice (14 cereals!), various breads to toast, a gorgeous amount of fresh fruit, yogurts too and each table had its own juice and milk jugs. The hot breakfasts were HUGE and perfectly cooked. The last word goes out to Lisa, the wonderful, friendly, kind, fun and delightful owner. She is the real star of the show, this B&B is her passion and it shows in everything from the way she sets up the rooms to breakfasts and how she chats to guests. I can’t recommend Lisa and this B&B enough. We’re already talking about when to go again.

Two teeny tiny things I know others have mentioned. Because the windows are historical and beautiful they’re secondary glazed and can’t be opened so no ventilation/fresh air. I understand why but I agree it’s a little niggle. Again like someone else said a little shelf over the sink to put toothbrush, toothpaste, face wash etc instead of on the toilet would be nice, but again it’s a minor thing.

I stayed here with my friend for a concert at the Principality Stadium. The room was spacious and clean, with a lovely view of the valleys and a very short walk from the train station. Our host, Lisa was exceptional; warm and welcoming, and offered us lots of advice as we had never visited Cardiff or Radyr before. She went the extra mile to ensure we were comfortable and safe, and it was these small details that made our stay truly special. We were also very happy with the range of breakfast options available. We’ll definitely be visiting again soon and cannot recommend this lovely lodge enough! Thank you, Lisa!

We really enjoyed our stay at Ty Mynydd Lodge. Lisa was very friendly and welcoming and went out of her way to help us, even so far as giving us a lift back to the train station as we had lots to carry. Out room was cosy, clean and tidy and we loved the attention to detail in the extras such as bottled water and Welsh cakes - exactly what we needed after a long journey! The location was ideal and there are plenty of facilities within walking distance, including a small supermarket, a restaurant, a bar and a pub with a large menu of traditional 'pub grub' catering to everyone's tastes. The Roald Dahl connection was really interesting and there was plenty of photos and artifacts for fans of his books. We can't recommend Ty Mynydd Lodge highly enough - a real home-from-home!

The bedroom was small but very nicely decorated with some pleasant additions in décor. We even had a vase of daffodils which was a lovely addition. The bed was lovely and comfortable. The bathroom was very large and bright with a corner bath and shower that was extremely good. Good shaving facilities with a large hand basin and overhead lighting. The usual tea-making facilities and biscuits were included and there was plenty of room to actually make the drinks. The room was warm with a good sized radiator in the room and heated towel rail in the bathroom. Breakfast room was a little small but there was a good selection of fresh fruits and cereals. Out hostl Lisa, was fantastic cook and I had the best scrambled eggs I've ever had in any establishment, including my own! On my firsy morning I opted for porridge which I was pleased to see wasn't the instant variety. Toast with homemade jams and all the other usual offerings were available with a large pot of tea and cafetiere. A small lounge area for evening gatherings was nice and cosy with a large log burner keeping the room warm. Lisa was an excellent host and made us feel very welcome. Her friendly approach to guests was way beyond I've ever experience, making us feel relaxed and "at home". She guided us to local eateries: one Italian and the other pub-grub both of which were delicious and plentiful. Our overall experience was made better by Lisa's enthusiasm for her guests.

A small discomfort for me was the pillows were too hard for me to sleep, though my husband slept well on them. Also, the shower water didn't run away on my first day as the plug was blocked with a lot of hair. I removed this, though not pleasant as it wasn't my hair, the water drained well after that.

As for the staff, facilities, food, cleanliness, welcome, location and comfort, I give 100%. Lisa made us feel very welcome. But I regret I cant give a total 100% because of a small issues. The place is very small, and everything feels tight, dinky and miniature. Shower room and toilet is very tight. It looks like they tried their best to squeeze everything in there, which I am afraid doesn't work. No space to put your toiletries, had to use the too of toilet, and we couldn't dress in there. You can hardly change your mind in there. There is no space for a desk and the armchair is made for a child. We had to do work from our beds. Beds are a bit dated and mattresses past the use by date. My back was a bit achy the next morning. Other than that, superb 'little' place. Breakfast room also small and tiny.

We booked this lodge as it was rated well and is situated close to Cardiff centre, while still being in a very quiet and pleasant area. Honestly we did not expect how fantastic it would be. Lisa the owner is absolutely fantastic and so welcoming. She makes you feel comfortable from the moment you meet her and it really felt a home from home. The room we had was very clean and comfortable, it had an internet TV that was great for a bit of chill time after all the sight seeing. The bed was really comfy and both me and my wife slept great. It also had a full en-suite bathroom and a spacious corner bath. The morning breakfast was brilliant and Lisa really went the extra mile in making it a great experience. There is a train station a pleasant 10 min walk down the road that takes you straight to Cardiff centre or Cardiff bay and the trains are very regular and cheap. Next trip we will get the train straight to Radyr from home rather than driving, as it’s so easy to get to. Absolutely 10/10 from us and we look forward to going back to explore Radyr more, there is allot of woodland around the area that looks beautiful and definitely warrants a good explore.

Lisa was great, we stayed as we were going to a concert in Cardiff, celebrating my daughters 21st birthday. Lisa surprised us with a bottle of bubbles in our room, Lana Del Rey playing on the TV and granted us an early check in (I was even earlier than I said). She oferred us a lift to the station and the breakfast was great, so much to choose from. It was like staying with nice family, rather than just being accomodated for a cost. Thank you

Nothing, the room was warm, however the window opened and there was a fan in our room.

A very enjoyable stay despite awful weather thanks to Lisa's warm welcome and hospitality. A very comfortable room supplied with all you need plus a lounge with wood burner made for a very pleasant stay. Excellent range of choice for breakfast with cereals, fruit, yoghurt and juice plus toast, croissants and home cooked options set us up well for the day ahead and the location is convenient for Radyr station which makes taking the train into the city centre easy.

Just the weather (we visited during Storm Darragh)! We will definitely return sometime soon to explore the things we missed this time.

Lisa is an incredible host and we were looked after extremely well from check in to check out. There were personal touches all through our stay with Lisa driving us to the railway station on departure. Lisa was very accommodating and served a sumptuous breakfast.

The only thing missing during the couple of days of intense heat was air-conditioning. However, even in that regard, Lisa helped out with a nice pedestal fan.
