  • "A lovely flat, very comfortable and well equipped."

    Well situated for exploring Cardiff and surrounding areas. Particular bonus was it being across the road from St Fagans National History Museum (free), which was well worth the visit.

  • "A lovely cosy place to stay."

    Comfy bed and great shower. Everything you could need for a break away with lots of little extras. Parking was fine and location good for seeing Wales and visiting family. Only issue was noise from guests above which disturbed you in the night and from the adjoining house at breakfast time.

  • "We loved our stay at the Laurels, the owner was very helpful."

    The property was clean and spacious and I would describe it as a luxury hotel room with the added benefit of a kitchen on the side.

  • "The host was so lovely and friendly, asking if we needed anything and welcomed any feedback."

    We asked to borrow a picnic blanket and she very kindly lent us one. The flat was clean, warm and cozy and in the hot heat the flat is cool throughout the day as shaded.

  • "We were extremely pleased with our stay at the Laurels flat."

    We were warmly greeted by our host, Julie, who was happy to help with making sure our stay was enjoyable. The accommodation was first class, and had everything that we needed. The living/sleeping room was light and specious (with a special shout out for the amazingly huge and comfy bed!) The kitchen was roomy and well equipped with everything we need for our weeks stay, and the shower room brand new with plenty of towels etc. Everywhere was spotlessly clean. As with most properties, when quiet, it was sometimes possible to hear other residents walking around above or running water, but this did not disturb us. An important plus is the flat's position as it is so convenient for travelling into Cardiff, or travelling further afield - perfect for all major routes. The wonderful St Fagans museum is literally a few steps away. Although situated next to a busy road, we were not affected by traffic noise at all. We will definitely be looking to book again when we are next in South Wales. All-round, an excellent gem of a find on Sykes' page, and well recommended.

  • "We had 5 wonderful days in this lovely new flat (we were the first guests)."

    The big and bright bedroom with sitting area has a very comfortable Super King bed. The kitchenette had everything we needed and the new shower room has got a really good shower. The heating in all rooms worked very well and reacted quickly. We could park our car in the court yard. The flat is next to the rear entrance of St. Fagans Museum of National History – a must when you stay in The Laurels Flat. We used the excellent location for visits to the Vale and to Cardiff. Thank you Julie for being such a welcoming and friendly host and for the welcome pack. We certainly will come back.

    Vielen dank!! Julie Property Owner
