The Cottage in Cardiff

Salió el fin de semana del 14 de diciembre cuando Cardiff estaba lleno de gente y se sentía incómodo a veces. Sin embargo, la casa era genial, a pesar de ser bastante céntrico era amable gran ambiente

Good pub with nice atmosphere 😊 Good prices also…

After watching Nick Cave the night before it was great to visit this ace welcoming pub on Jam night.A blindingly great normal unpretentious boozer.

Great experience on a Thursday night.

Visité este lugar hace quince días el sábado con dos amigos para tres lagers que usé mi tarjeta bancaria para pagar, debería de haber sido £ 6. 30 pero cuando comprobé mi extracto bancario la señora detrás de la barra me cobró 63 libras. 00 He estado tratando de llamarlos para tratar de recuperar mi dinero, pero no contestan el teléfono, simplemente sigue sonando y sonando, siento que he perdido mi dinero.

A proper pub with a pool table and table tennis. Loads of sport and friendly staff

Great Open Mic with Tony Morely and friends and great live music set from Thoby Davis 🎵🎶🎻🎵🎶🎤🎵🎶🎸🎵🎶🎺

Had a lovely Sunday lunch today. Brilliant service and friendly staff.

Lovely pub. Excellent staff and beers served perfectly. At the other end of the scale - the toilets are beautiful and clean and well stocked. Must visit when in Cardiff

Old school pub in the heart of Splott, easy to get to from the city centre. Pool table, food and beer. You can watch sport here, friendly staff.

We'd never been to this pub before, so we have no experience of what it was like before the reopening in October last year, so this is only my review of my first time in this pub. We thought it was a lovely pub. No gimmicks, no kids running round, no dogs barking at each other across the bar... It's just a traditional pub in Cardiff city centre with a lovely atmosphere.

First visit since the reopening very welcoming atmosphere and good drinks selection Surprised to see no food service but still a good place to socialise

Dog friendly pub. Nice food, I recommend the burgers or the Sunday roast. Very nice local pub and very welcoming.

Great little pub . Great to see it still going. Food delicious and filling

Popped in for a bite to eat. This pub has had a bad reputation, but we felt safe enough in there and the landlord was amenable and approachable. The food was okay. Not the worst I've had, and there is a new menu starting. We agree to give the food another go sometime soon, just to be able to have a clearer picture. The prices are cheaper than general, and the service was very good. We were there in the afternoon, workmen came in and we felt comfortable there at this time. Unfortunately the reputation for night time is why I would not chose to go here at night. That said, we like to support local businesses the best we can, and this place is trying its best to attract more clientele. Also does karaoke.

We had a great experience and an amazing roast. Great typical british pub

Disappointed after waiting for ages to reopen. The Brains Dark was appalling and apparently they dont serve lemonade so I had to have a lager top with cloudy Lemonade which was awful. Will not be returning which is so sad as it held so many memories for us.

A great central public house with plenty of character. Plenty of drinks at very reasonable prices served by friendly staff. I've been coming here for years, such a wonderful atmosphere on your own or with a group.

Great sunday dinner , pre book is best , good food , good value ,we will be back , thankyou .

The people are so welcoming, owners and locals alike! Would definitely recommend for a quieter place away from town centre

Amazing Burgers, great value for money. Lovely atmosphere & art work on the walls.

Thursday night open Mike with Tony morely

Drugs sold outside , inside, every side 2019. update..... 05/07/2023 this pub has truly had a transformation...... Well done all involved

Great crack and laughs,great service.

We visited the Cottage (Lisvane, Cardiff) on 31st January. The lunch was lovely. Jessica and Sophie were very efficient and friendly.

Great pub with a Cheers style bar, friendly staff and quality beer with seating on wooden floors

This place has come back to life..great fun on a Friday with karaoke.. landlords and staff amazing.. friendly people of all types..and the most spotless toilets ever, which is very rare these days...well deserved 5 stars from me

Great little pub. Very welcoming....and under new management

The Cottage has been through a few transformations and managements in the past several years, but the current owners have done well with it. Hosting regular events and karaoke, there's always something to do, and if you're more chilled they also have two pool tables. Drinks are reasonably priced and children are welcome up to adult's time. Nice little community pub if you want to pop in for a pint.

Really good place with great guinness and pool tables -- 10/10

Traditional pub serving lovely local cider. Great service from a young bar man who was busy on his own during the afternoon. Accepted Scottish currency which is uncommon but hugely appreciated. Looking forward to returning to experience the same warm hospitality again soon.

Our visit on a very quiet Sunday afternoon started well with polite service from the young barman. After an hour my wife and I were recognised by two old friends from our days in London 25 years ago. We talked across the almost empty room for 20 minutes then they moved to a nearer table. At some time around 5pm the barman went off duty, the rudeness of his replacement was something to behold (but not too often), I asked for his name and he claimed to be Trevor Michels the landlord. Our troubles seemed to start when my wife commented on the very poor condition and cleanliness of the ladies toilet. From then on any movement we made was greeted by shouted instructions from Trevor. We asked if, as a party of four from two households we could sit at the same table but Trevor claimed we did not know our friends (obviously based on his extensive knowledge of my life). Trevor threatened to call the police and then asked us to leave, so four pensioners went out into the heavy Cardiff rain never to return.

Right in the heart of the bustle of Cardiff this 'old fashioned boozer' is anything but. Welcoming staff and management, covid secure and a great selection of food and drink. Maintaining its' history but with a modern approach. Highly recommended. We'll be returning for sure.

me and my friend went to the cottage for a few drinks and some food the other day, although it was quiet it was still a nice vibe. The thing that stood out the most was one of the best (and most attractive) barmen I had ever come into contact with. I believe his name was Ashley. We'd been here before so I knew he was new, but he was so polite, professional and friendly, the entire experience was an absolute delight! I would come back just to have the pleasure of being served by Ashley again. He will definitely go far in the hospitality industry!

Friendly pub and make new-come's feel welcome

Went to meet friends there and found it to be very cold 🥶 l couldn’t finish my drink so we went elsewhere

Nice patrons and staff. Pints are good and so is the music. Met a few friendly people here and enjoyed myself. Good atmosphere and funny times aplenty

Decent Beer and Food A lovely feeling place.All wood panels music was a bit intrusive but all in all fine

Nice cozy traditional pub. Friendly staff, good food, great drink selection and cheap beer. In the busy city centre it was lovely to find this lovely little pub. I enjoyed both food and drinks on several occasions during my weekend to Cardiff. Places like this are what makes me want to come back to Cardiff soon.

From wat I remember back in 2000 when I worked in Ocean Park House, East Tyndall Street was an ok place to go at lunch time. Forgot about it until today whilst staying in Cardiff.

Vienkāršs krogs kur jāmaksā skaidrā naudā .

Went to the cardiff cottage for evening meal with wife.Busy due to football however service was very good and quick.The burger was super and very tasty.Super atmosphere and very welcoming.

4人で行きました。 レビューでは結構悪くないようでしたが、あまり良くはなかったです。 バーには1人の女声、このスタッフが バーと食事のお運び全てを賄っているため、もう一杯一杯って感じでした。 料理ができても、彼女が気づかないとキッチンでずっとそのままって感じで、シェフも呼びに行くでもなく、ただ彼女を見つめて気づくのを待っている。 出てきたバーガーは、肉は焦げて、でもパンは冷たくパサパサ。ラザニアは熱すぎ（おそらくレンジで温めた？）チキンは塩辛すぎと、あまりいいこと無しでした。 たまたま人手が足りなかっただけかもしれませんが、余りおすすめできません。

Good pub food served in an authentic atmosphere. The staff are wonderful and make you feel at home, as if you are in a local village pub.

Nice locals, but I never returned after my eggy pint of Stella in early 2018 ! clean your lines please.

Posizione centrale, personale gentile, in particolare il proprietario, persona gioviale che fa sentire a proprio agio il cliente. Cibo buono...

Look at the photos. Say no more about it

Local friendly pub with good food, live music, friendly staff and excellent selection of spirits. Love the pub games - darts, pool, ping pong, machines. Also has a wicked jukebox! #localspot

Great place for a good night out Super atmosphere and friendly staff. Sunday lunch is the best around and great value... Cheers

Excellent roast beef dinner, friendly welcoming staff

Lovely food, lovely scenery. Sit an have a pint an dip your feet in the harbour whilst looking up at Clifton.

Great family pub and great staff

We visited here 2 times this week while working away from home. Whilst the pub was very quiet we were greeted with warmth and friendliness. We can't comment on what it's like at weekends but we would certainly visit again when we return to the area.

An amazing experience all round.The most friendly pub you could ever find.The staff and owners are brilliant.You would never be lost for a friend in the cottage. If ya fancy a pint with friends or just wander in for a pint you are greeted with a smile and a big hello. Top marks

Excellent service brilliant landlord and landlady fantastic staff

Great pub with a well stocked bar. Staff are fantastic, always a warm welcome.

We don't know much about beers in the UK, so they allowed to try a couple before actually purchasing a pint. The staff is extremely amiable and eager to help. Congrats. The atmosphere is predictable, but the pictures on the wall add a touch of thinking and contribute to the conversation. The vanilla ice cream is superb. And the restrooms are OK. An excellent sample of welsh hospitality.

Abbiamo cenato qui con piatti tipici del luogo i prezzi sono molto più abbordabili rispetto ad altri pub più lontani...

Great traditional pub with a great atmosphere and friendly family owners who will go the full mile for you. LOVE GOING THERE! ! Allison and Mathew are great hosts supported by Liz and new chefs Andrew and Chris. Quality ales and wonderful food in a newly appointed 4 star pub and kitchen ! What more can you ask for.

Siamo stati a cena in questo pub in occasione del match delle sei nazioni di rugby seguendo le recensioni precedenti...

What a l lovely traditional pub with pool table etc a great chance to meet some lovely locals
