Oh my gosh, where to start! First of all, the Gellihaf House was the MOST enjoyable, bespoke & beautiful place my hubby and I have EVER stayed at. The front garden is gorgeous and there are crazy chickens in the back! The public space on the ground/1st floor is just amazing! So many things to look at and enjoy. Our bedroom and bathroom is pretty much how I wish mine looked like ! The bed was dead comfy with the beautiful cotton sheets, the bathroom couldn't be cleaner if I tried. But the best part of our stay were our hosts, Cathy and Howard. What absolutely lovely, kind, interesting and funny people! Cathy made the most delicious breakfast, I really tried to restrain myself, but I am the reason why the muffins were all gone. The full Welsh breakfast was so delicious - home-grown tomatoes and locally sourced bacon/sausages! I've even booked mum and dad here for when they visit Wales. And next time I see my brother and his family, it will have to be when there is availability at the Gellihaf! Thank you, Cathy and Howard, for the most unforgetable stay !

There was nothing we didn't like. When I found this place on booking.com after seeing the highest guest reviews/score, I shared the link with my family and with my boss at work, because it looked so beautiful. The experience of being there cannot be conveyed in the pictures!

I simply can’t rate Gellihaf house highly enough! From the moment we arrived our expectations where exceeded. The house itself is stunning, beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean everywhere. The room was beautiful, spacious and the bed was really comfy. It all felt very luxurious and we didn’t want to leave! The breakfast was absolutely delicious with a range of cereal/granola, fresh fruit and bread, fresh orange juice, tea and coffee and several cooked options. We opted for a full Welsh one day and eggs on toast another day, both days the breakfast was cooked to perfection and delicious. Cath and Howard are so so lovely, the welcome you in like old friends the moment you arrive and make you feel so welcome and comfortable for your entire stay. We will definitely be back and will be recommending a visit to all our friends and family.

Nothing! Honestly there was nothing to not like!! The house is beautiful, the food was delicious and the owners where so so lovely, definitely book if you can!

Great example of how to decorate and furnish a period property. We learnt so much that will help with our own house. Nice owners, good breakfast, great location, will try to visit again this Summer.

This won't apply to most people, but I was doing some work while there and the bedrooms could do with a larger table more suitable for a laptop. Maybe with a drop-leaf. I moved the TV to use its table, which is doable but it's a bit small. I have to work in the bedroom, not the main room downstairs, to protect client confidentiality.

Breakfast was fantastic. The house is full of interesting pictures, ornaments and furniture - something interesting or quirky to see on every wall and surface. Beautiful gardens too. Parking on-site behind a locked gate. Catherine and Howard were lovely people to meet.

Weather was hot and sticky so we slept with the windows open which meant you could hear a bit of traffic but nothing too bad, and certainly wouldn't put us off staying there again.

The location of the B&B was perfect, it is situated in a lovely quiet part of town with no road noise at all and lovely views across the valley. The house itself is gorgeous, full of trinkets and memorabilia that you could easily lose an hour looking through. The little touches in the room were perfect as well - such as coffee tables books about the river the room was named after. The room itself was big, spacious and luxurious. The bed was absolutely fantastic, large and cosy and it had one of the most comfortable mattresses we've experienced in a B&B. The breakfast was incredible both mornings - with the option to choose what you wanted on your plate and the butchers meats were of top quality. Howard was an excellent host (unfortunately, we did not get to meet Cath) who couldn't do enough to help, was always full of conversation, tips and local knowledge and made you feel part of the family immediately upon arrival. Would highly recommend for a stay, I wish we'd had more time there to appreciate it fully!

The very warm personal welcome from Howard and Catherine. The house has been superbly renovated. Out bedroom was spacious and spotlessly clean. The breakfast was delicious with a good range of items and the hot elements cooked to order with local suppliers. It is in an ideal location in the historic Welsh mining area with Caerphilly Castle nearby.

The car entrance is best from only one direction.

We had a great stay at Catherine‘s and Howard‘s accomodation. They gave us great tips for the surroundings, made outstanding breakfast and the accomodation itself was very clean, beautiful and makes you experience a real british way of living. We can highly recommend to stay here when in Wales. Thank you Catherine and Howard!

Catherine and Howard was wonderful hosts, they went out of their way to accomdate us and make us feel welcome. The breakfast was exceptional and our room was divine with the most incredible bathroom. We are local and were staying for a wedding, but we most certainly intend to return very soon.

Nothing, it was faultless

Great boutique hotel . We stayed 2 nights and Howard and Cath were fantastic hosts and nothing was too much trouble. The rooms are spotlessly clean and the attension to detail was at it's best. Breakfast was suberb. We would highly recommend this hotel with local walks and cardiff centre only 20-30minute drive away. Thankyou for the warm welcome, lovely to meet you both.

Absolutely everything. The property is fabulous, scrupulously clean, comfortable and fascinating. The hosts could not have been more accommodating, friendly, and willing to assist with any and all queries. Breakfast is prepared and served fresh, and includes local produce and home made bread.

Absolutely nothing, other than the fact we only booked two nights!
