Site visits in Cardiff

“This is such a well thought out and varied play space. It’s entertaining enough for repeat visits without being overstimulating like some traditional soft-plays. We held our 2 year old’s birthday party here fairly last minute after being let down by another venue (we didn’t know about Imagination Fascination beforehand otherwise we’d have just booked in the first place!) and it absolutely turned out for the best, as the team here could hardly have done more for us. Rebecca and Becky in particular worked their socks off pulling together a fantastic party for 40 very happy toddlers and their parents, and they’ve gained some very loyal customers out of it!”

“We had a wonderful and comfortable stay here. Positives are location, comfort and the service and staff. We were able to drop our luggage to the hotel before check-in and leave it there after check-out whilst we enjoyed the vast shops of Cardiff town. The breakfast was delicious too. The only negative- we were unable to book the restaurant for dinner. The only available time was 9pm and this was when trying to book before 5pm. We were offered to sit and eat from the bar menu, however we found the music too loud to hold a conversation and the table size not suitable to sit comfortably with a meal. We therefore ordered room service. This was delivered quicker than anticipated but was tepid, the sprouts were extremely soft/soggy, the parsnips and potatoes dried out and the Turkey was dry too. That said, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Overall, I loved it.”

“Saw ABBA Tribute band, it’s the second time I’ve seen them. Fantastic night as always. Definitely recommend going to see them. You can hire the hall for private functions, there is a bar and is wheelchair accessible”

“Plenty of parking..lovely lil pub..friendly staff..always feel welcome xx”

“Have just come home after a short break with my wife and children. Absolutely lovely hotel. Breakfast was brilliant, For breakfast you place your order the night before and it's cooked fresh for you once you come down for it, but this is for a few reasons the main perk of which is it arrives hot, and fresh unlike you get at the buffet style and added bonus to that is the fried eggs are not rubbery. The owners were a lovely friendly couple and come across as if they are running the hotel for the love of it and not just in it for the money. Nothing appeared to be to much for them, even having a laugh as I was apologising for my wife spilling coffee all over the floor and the only thing to hand to mop it up was one of their lovely clean white towels. They appear to also love the WSM part of the country and full of local knowledge as to where to go depending on what you want to do. Having visited Western Super Mare a number of times this hotel ranks as an 11 out of 10 compared to others we've stayed at in the area and 15 out of 10 against your travel lodge / premier Inn type places so much so we have already pre-booked the same few days for next year. Have just asked my sons about the stay and they said that they are excited to be going back to the same place next year. Now for them to come even remotely near saying something like that is a miracle. The only thing they could fault was the phone signal for 5g internet but this is totally out of the hotels control and they have rectified this the best they can with free wi-fi from within the hotel. As a message to the owners "Thank you once again for helping to make our stay in Weston even more enjoyable than it normally is, and we will see you next year"”

“All 3 of my dogs go to Jess, She treats them all as individuals and always knows which ones like or don’t like something and taylors the groom to each of them. Jess is always bubbly and smiling when you see her and all 3 of my dogs will happily run to her. Grooms are always to an excellent standard and they always come out smelling and looking beautiful. I also love the fact Jess takes photos and videos whilst grooming them as an owner it is great to see how comfortable they are around her. .”

“This is the second time I’ve been to this garage for help and yet again, they sorted out the problem immediately. I did have to wait for the part but the boys Aaron and Mikey kept me updated daily and also gave me the damaged parts for proof. I would highly recommend these to anyone who has a motor malfunction. Thank you both”

“Absolutely couldn't recommend more. I'm new to the area and was a little worried about being ripped off, especially due to past experiences of my car issues being misdiagnosed and paying out the nose a few times before the actual problem was found and fixed. Nick and his son were very friendly and took my car on a test drive straight away to find the noise it had been making. They found the problem quickly, and put it up on the ramp to double check before doing anything. They were very fairly priced and fixed the problem the same day. I will definitely be using this garage in the future and recommend others to as well.”

This was my second visit and it has become a cherished tradition for me to return whenever I find myself in this vibrant city. They only offering take-away services, there were four stools available but there were more seatings in upstairs. Authentic Thai food by Thai chef continues to impress with its delectable offerings, generous portions and reasonable prices. We had Thai Red curry with Chicken, Thai Green Curry with Chicken and Pad Thai with Prawns, the Thai flavours served here never fail to impress. The Thai Red curry was very hot and delicious. Friendly staff, the entire process from placing order to collecting it was remarkable swift.”
