This youth hostel I found adorable. My son and I stayed here in August. The manager Andrew was just…read moreone of the best managers I have come across - friendly, warm, knowledgebale, a real gem. The hostel is old (it was one of the first) and basic but it adds to its charm. There was a real communal spirit here and everyone talked to everyone. There was a big box of sporting equipment and plenty of space for the kids (borders national trust land). Camping also available. Highly receommended for the simple life and peace and quiet.

Great price, clean, amazing location, free coffee, free breakfast. This place is great. Make sure…read moreyou thank Charlie when he checks you in, he's the coolest.

I was in Cardiff for a conference and chose Riverhouse Backpackers as my choice...plus it was cheap…read morefor three days it was £60. It is run by a friendly brother and sister team. When they told me what room I was going in and it was all male....I was like nah! The were prompt to change and gave me an all female room. The did say keep bedrooms clean, so you knew you wasn't going to get a cleaner every day to change your bedding hence why I saw long stringy hair in my bunk bed that I had to pick off. I enjoyed the breakfast especially a paticular Peanut Butter I was raving to the owner about. It was from Costco! Obviously you get all sort of people- but mainly a young crowd. The have a cute small living room with plenty of choice if you wanted to watch a DVD! Also coming into the entrance of Riverhouse their are lots of information on what to do in Cardiff and the rest of Wales. I love the fact Riverhouse is near the River Taff and really close to the city centre . It was a pleasent stay overall.

We checked in here mostly because of the affordable rates. It's set in the woods about 10 minutes…read morefrom Brecon. The staff is extremely friendly and very willing to make enquiries/bookings for you. The rooms are small, but clean. Food is good, and there's a nice common area to relax in. Perfect for a rainy Welsh day. If you're into hiking, there are a bunch of tracks that start right from the hostel. If you have a car, that's no issue as there is a lot right on site. Definitely one of the better hostels I've stayed at.

Want a stunning spot for your wedding reception? Or want a very large; three course meal that many…read morepeople are invited to? Then this would be an ideal place for you to do so. I love this place, I have been here quiet often either for wedding receptions or for a meal with the company, as whole, who I do volunteer work with every now and then. The meal we have there is always different and it is always wonderfully tasteful as was the food for the wedding receptions. It has a bar; a comfortable sitting room area, an eating room area, a area where you would have the meal for your wedding reception or perhaps for even a party or for some work due, wonderful grounds to walk around and look out to the countryside view in front of you, lush bedrooms to sleep and wash in, and some toilets. They have thirty seven bedrooms and they are ten minutes away from Cardiff's city centre. This place has free internet and there is free guest parking. No pets are allowed. I recommend this place to all...
