Plas Gwyn is ideally situated to visit the city centre, many historic sites in and around Cardiff as well as the beautiful Welsh mountains and coastline. The city centre is a short walk along the Taff Trail or a bus ride away where you can visit the Cardiff Castle and the Millennium Stadium and shop in the old Victorian Arcades. Cardiff Bay, accessible by car or public transport, is where you will find many restaurants and cafés as well as the Millennium Centre and Norwegian Church.

All rooms are sold on a room only basis and are Single Ensuite in flats of 8 with access to a shared kitchen. All rooms are provided with bed linen and 2 towels on arrival.

Grounds and gardens

Plas Gwyn is situated close to the Taff Trail which is ideal for walking and cycling. The river runs alongside the trail which leads into the city centre to the West and up in to the Valleys to the East.
