My partner and I stayed here between Christmas and New Year. Prior to check in there was a power cut which affected the whole of Cardigan. This made for a bad start to our staycation as all cafes and shops quickly closed. It was a horrible day weather-wise so we ended up returning to our car to wait it out. 

Power was restored within a couple of hours so we headed for some lunch before checking in. The directions received by email prior to our stay were very helpful -  watch the YouTube video! As others have mentioned, the entrance to the car park is tight. We have a SUV but just about managed it. More difficult was getting out the next day as a couple of guests had parked in non-spaces and made a limited space for manoeuvring even tighter. Very annoying. 

We stayed in one of the ‘Premium heritage’ rooms in the East Wing. This was described as spacious (30 sqm according to the listing on Booking.com). I can only think that the common areas must be included in this measurement as the room was anything but spacious. It can’t have been any larger than 18 sqm including the bathroom. That was our first disappointment. Things got worse when we started to get ready before going out for dinner. There was no hot water. We reported this immediately and in all fairness the staff jumped on it quickly but it took 2 hours for the water to heat back up and for us to be able to shower. We had to push our dinner reservation back as a result. Whilst we were kept updated and the staff seemed genuinely apologetic for the inconvenience, I was surprised there was no offer of compensation. £135 a night for a small room with no hot water is definitely not value for money. 

We both agreed that the accommodation wasn’t to our taste. It was more shabby chic than luxury and overpriced for what was on offer. The room was cramped, soundproofing poor and only having tea and coffee facilities in a shared kitchen downstairs proved to be inconvenient. We will look elsewhere if we return to Cardigan. Sorry but it just wasn’t for us.

Missed the mark

Clean and spacious room just off the castle gates with easy checkin and departure. Breakfast of champions with the full Welsh on offer, great coffee and juice. The car park is really narrow and quite small so make sure you’re comfortable taking your vehicle in. I have a large SUV and it managed but you’ve got to approach it slowly and at the right angle.

Great place for a brief stay.

Not really a castle, I felt sorry for the little children asking when they were going to the castle. Basically you get a lawn with a stage on it, a wooden wizard, a big wooden chair and an arch made of two whale bones, oh, and a concrete pill box,all surrounded by the top part of the original castle walks. There was a house which we didn't go in.
We wondered why people who left the introductory video were coming back through to leave while we were still watching it, ten minutes to go round if you don't do the house. The best part was the tub of ice cream we had from the restaurant foyer. 

Not really a castle. Save your money

Excellent couple of nights here visiting  with my brother.All the staff were excellent and the service was good.We both had the Welsh Breakfasts and no complaints there.The room Y Copa at the top of the house was very roomy and quiet with good tea and coffee making facilities.We would definitely stay again.

Ceredigion,Da Iawn!

My husband and I stayed at the castle for two nights last weekend on a B and B basis.  We were put in a room in the self catering part, not sure why.  We had no tea, coffee in the rooms, no hairdryer or toiletries, apart from hand wash.  We could use the kitchen which had tea etc in but we would have preferred this in our room.  The room was very small and it was difficult to get your clothes on hangers in the wardrobe. You literally had to bend the hangers and this needs replacing. 

Now the good points.  The castle is in a great location, with parking, though somewhat difficult to negotiate.  The gardens are nice and interesting to walk around.  We didn’t get to visit the house/museum but would next time.

The breakfast in 1176 was superb.  We also had one meal in 1176 at night, which again was excellent.

The lady in the shop was friendly and helpful.  Also, the staff in 1176 were amazing.  So friendly, polite and informative. 

We do visit Cardigan for family reasons two to three times a year and we possibly will stay again but not in the self catering part.

Good location for centre of Cardigan

The team continue to excel at Cardigan Castle!
Fabulous accommodation, stunning location, welcoming and attentive team!
Already booked again for 2023!
Great food, service and welcome also at 1176, the on-site restaurant.

Another fantastic stay!

We cannot fault our stay at Cardigan castle. We had a 2 night stay in the Castle grounds accommodation. The room was spacious, tastefully decorated and very clean. Everything was done to make our stay enjoyable. The breakfast was out of this world and the staff, were the politest I have had the pleasure of dealing with for a long time. It is the little touches that matter!

Thank you for excellent accommodation that made for a great weekend.

Fabulous accommodation, staff and food!

We stayed in a standard b and b room. Very nice although a standard size double bed seemed a little small having had king size at other hotels. Clean with every thing we needed. A walk in shower and no bath. The setting is quite unique and when the castle is closed to visitors you have the garden to yourself. Parking was fine. Breakfast good. Good value for money. Would recommend.

A special place

What a little gem! Spent a few hours discovering the history of this historic site & loved every minute. To see how the castle, house & grounds have been brought back to life, is fascinating, detailed in an excellent video & information boards. The grounds are well maintained & there is a superb kitchen garden & greenhouse. 
There's a gift shop with really nice pieces of art, ornaments, blankets, cushions, aprons etc all reasonably priced.
The restaurant is superb with a great selection of beverages including decent coffee & food served by really friendly staff. 
A special thanks must go to 'Gwenith' for her professionalism, fantastic knowledge & friendly manner.
Will definitely be back.

Fab Morning Visit

My husband and I have visited twice in a two month period: the first time we stayed in The Coach House, the second time we stayed in The Stables, as The Coach House was booked up.
The accommodation on both occasions was spotless, comfortable, plenty big enough and well equipped. The Coach House had a well equipped kitchenette hidden behind a well designed tall cupboard, a dining table and chairs, comfortable arm chairs and a television. There is a large walk in shower room. The Stables had a kitchen area and shower room across the small landing from the living/bedroom area (which also had a dining table and chairs, comfortable arm chairs and a twlevision) ; the whole area of this first floor was for the exclusive use of The Stables guests.

The breakfasts were fantastic: a large range to choose from, tasty, and cooked to perfection. The staff who served us at breakfast during both of our visits, Rodhri and Jean, are super people, really friendly, happy, professional and efficient. 

In fact, all of the staff who we spoke to: restaurant, reception, cleaning and maintenance, were superb.

We had an issue with some plumbing on our second visit and within five minutes of us reporting it to reception, the maintenance man appeared and sorted it. Another sign of a great organisation.

Our primary reason for staying in Cardigan was to visit relatives. However, we took the opportunity to have a look around the castle, inside and out, and we found it very interesting. 

Overall, we were very impressed with the cleanliness of the accommodation and surrounds and the friendliness and professionalism of the staff.
