Was very fairly priced and informative. A lot of the castle still stands amd can be explored inside and out. I would have put 5 stars as castles go but a lot of it you were not allowed to explore and the highest tower was closed due to the wind which was disappointing.

I've been visiting this castle since I was a child. They had a Halloween trail on for the kids which was good as they had a treat at the end! Very informative about the history of the castle and a lovely walk around. Recommended for anyone in the area.

Caerphilly Castle is absolutely stunning! 🏰 It’s one of the most impressive castles in Wales and has such a magical, historic vibe. The castle is surrounded by a beautiful moat and lake, and the reflections in the water make it look like something straight out of a fairy tale. ✨ You can walk around the huge walls, explore the towers, and even spot some ducks and swans in the water. It’s a great place for photos, picnics, and learning a bit of Welsh history. I totally recommend visiting — spend a couple of hours here, enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, and take in the amazing views of Caerphilly town and the hills around it. 🌿📸

One of the best castles during our Wales visit. Very friendly staff who told us the advantages of buying the Cadw 7/14 days explorer pass to get free access to all Cadw castles in Wales. Already after the second visit it was cheaper than paying the regular entrance fee. Many things to explore and a lot of very good audio- and video animations. Also the chance to hear a bit of Welsh language. We enjoyed all the information and also tales about Welsh history. Definitely worth a visit if you are in or around Cardiff for both young and old visitors.

Beautifully restored castle with stunning grounds. £11 entry which i purchased online through CADW. Lakes with wild fowl and a well kept moat surround the castle. Toilet facilities within. The great Hall is beautiful with digital story telling. thoroughly recommend for all ages. With the town literally yards away it's an ideal location 👌🏻

Lovely castle with a double moat and information presented in a nice modern style. Crazy leaning tower too. A few minuses - he route was a bit confusing (several occasions where "Follow the storey" goes in opposite directions) cnc there isn't a tea room on site.

A wonderful castle ruin, with plenty of information along the self guided tour, not only of the castle but of the history of some of the famous people that lived there. Beautiful scenery. Informative display of catapults, and a fun pair of huge dragons with an audio story accompanied by steam and sound affects.

Always clean and tidy with a good range of shops and free parking. A quick walk to Caerphilly Castle and town centre via this shopping centre. I think Caerphilly is underrated as a place to visit. Plenty of food and drink available and the castle as the center point is hard to beat. Heron foods recently closed, so hopefully another business can take over that space soon.

Pretty dire. Shops run of the mill (the lady in The Works was polite) and the atmosphere was poor. Marijuana smokers lurking about at 14:00 on a weekday and of course no policing. Not pleasant.

What I love most is that there is plenty of parking space which is good when you've got plenty of shopping to do.

A good little shopping centre in Caerphilly. It has a good range of shops and you can get almost anything you need. It's a good place to get the essentials and somewhere to stop for a coffee in costa or a quick bite to eat in Greggs. It was clean, tidy and well presented with a nice display of hanging flowers.

A wide selection of shops laid out in a gallery arrangement with covered glazing on both sides.

Nice litte Shopping Center in Caerphilly with a good selection of little shops offering the basic needs and a little more. You have some coffee shops along as well that offer you the chance to sit down and relax. There is plenty of space and the overall appearance is clean and tidy. Nice place to either have a little wander or go and buy something specific or just chill out with a cup of coffee.

Derelict, run down, void of any sort of atmosphere. So much more could and should be done to improve this area

My son had a 5th birthday party on Friday between 4-6. It went very well. Staff were very helpful and they enjoyed the mascot and the food. It was busy as there were 2 other parties going on at the same time and it was a Friday night but everyone enjoyed all the same. I would recommend as a party location

We had a fantastic (funtastic) afternoon yesterday here , celebrating our 2 year old and 6 year olds birthday . We were able to book the whole place to ourselves for family and friends and it was superb . Fully air conditioned (which was a godsend in yesterday's heat) The staff were friendly attentive and helped with everything, making it very soecial for us all. It has something for all ages and kept them all happy ( which created happy parents and guardians) great birthday party food too. A place we highly recommend and will certainly use more of . Thank you .

The soft play is big and clean; the staff friendly and smiley. The prices of food and the entrance are an excellent value for money.

Excellent...value for money...children’s play centre. Quite a fair size car park, you do need to follow the one way system around the back of the of the building to the front, good floor signage.

Great soft play. Not huge but ideal for my 5 year old. Air conditioning super in the heat. Cheap and cheerful food, friendly staff and everything seemed very clean including toilets.

kids loved it so it needs a easier gate way to it or maybe a flight of the runway that empty next to it , good family session 👍

My Daughter had her 4th Birthday party here yesterday (and last year). The staff were brilliant and the kids thoroughly enjoyed their time here. I had a range from under 1’s to 8 year old. The party weekday package is absolutely amazing up to 30 children and worth the money. Definitely recommend having a kids party here or even a drop in visit with the kids. I come here regularly as I think it’s one of the BEST soft plays which really has an AMAZING VALUE FOR MONEY (DONT CHANGE THIS) what makes your place busy! Want to say a massive shoutout to the lady/staff who’s birthday it was with the badge, she went and got a number 4 light to jazz the room up more for my daughter which was so thoughtful. Thank you so much (I don’t know your name). I think it would be an idea to sort through the little baby part where the sensory light is on the floor, put more under 1s toys and at least have 8 baby walkers as there is only one which isn’t enough for the quantity of babies which attend funtastic as I had 3 under 1’s at the party and couldn’t all use them. Maybe throw all the dirty not looked after toys out also. In regards to the party I would make sure the room is set up properly on arrival for the birthday boy or girl room set up, disco lights on ready and jugs of squash already out prior to children arriving. The jugs need to be bigger as they were really small to save the back and forth trips, a member of staff should've really checked every so often instead of the parents going back and forth for more squash along with monitoring the children as advised. I think that’s a very important part. The parents of the birthday child should also get a free hot drink within the price ;) Lastly, I think funtastic should do a loyalty card so kids can enter free on their 10th time and parents to have a free coffee on their 5th time. Really good idea. … I think the ladies names who hosted us were Hannah and Georgia. If so, thank you both. Thank you all! :)

Popped in for a cold drink and a single cheeseburger. Service is fast and burger cooked well. Not bad value at £6.69 as it's a decent sized burger. I suspect you'd get better quality meat in the mountain burger, so worth trying that if you're hungry. Otherwise the burger is pretty standard quality meat for this kind of place. As others have said, there's no inside seating so most people eat in their cars in the generous sized car park. You'll get pretty decent views as well. I sat outside on a bench that was a bit sheltered from the cold wind and it was fine - just wrap up warm.

The food is always fresh, tasty, and served with a smile. Whether you’re stopping by for a hearty breakfast roll, a quick snack, or a hot drink after a walk, the portions are generous and great value for money. The staff are friendly and welcoming, creating a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere that makes every visit enjoyable. The location is perfect too—set on the mountain with lovely views, it’s an ideal spot to take a break, especially if you enjoy walking, cycling, or just want a peaceful place to sit and eat. It’s clear that this snack bar is loved by locals and visitors alike. Highly recommend stopping here if you’re passing through—you won’t be disappointed!

The food is absolutely amazing and good value for money. They are regularly busy but serve a large quantity of people quite quickly with no compromise on food quality. People happily wait in line for this food. It is a shame however that there is no in door dining space given the mountain is exposed to high wind.

I went here this morning with my 6 year old to buy an ice cream from the ice cream bar. Here are the problems I experienced: - I wanted to get a tea as well, but this wasn't possible and I was told I'd have to go inside and buy that separately. Not very convenient - especially when you're with your kids. - Inside I ordered a bacon sandwich and a tea - they forgot about my tea with the order so I had to chase this up. - They did the milk for me - the tea was horrible, very strong. Please let us do our own milk. - I asked for onions with my bacon sandwich - it was more like an onion sandwich, far too many. - The sandwich was only cut through one slice of bread, not the bacon or the other piece of bread - so I had to self cut and rip apart myself. A bit of a mess. Hopefully this feedback is taken onboard. One positive - my boy loved his ice cream

No one can deny the mighty mountain burger is immense. All the food to be fair is high quality and yummy. The staff are fantastic and work frantically, (which is absolutely needed). The place is usually full, so there will be a wait. My one gripe, and it is annoying is the automated order system. Man it is clunky! I really wish they overhaul it as it just dosent work the way it should. I get it, it busy and it 100% saves time, but from a customer experience point. Its a bit poop. Nothing better than sitting in your car, nursing a sore head while ploughing through a naughty burger and supping a brew. It is one of my favourite haunts, regardless of the operating system. If you havent already gone, please take yourself there.

Stopped here yesterday for a breakfast roll place was packed which is normally a good sign but the food was awful Bacon had no taste and was very thick asked if I wanted onions on roll which I said yes to well the roll was completely soggy they must boil the onions brown sauce they use is cheap and nasty had a sour taste. Would definitely not Return

Pulled in here not sure of what to expect. Staff was friendly and the food was fresh and delicious! Seating area is all outside, but there are covered tables. It was pouring when we were there yet we were well protected.

A lovely little park that is best visited in autumn when the trees are turning different colours. Plenty of little trails to explore and a stream with a nice pond to photograph as well. Parking can be limited on weekends when it's busy. There are toilets here and a coffee van in the car park - not sure if it is always there though.

Fantastic gardens on an old estate with plenty of ornamental areas, pond, dipped field, woods, wildlife, decent free parking and toilets/dog wash area. Beautiful

Fabulous place to explore nature with our grandson, lovely walks and picnic spots. Great size car park. Would be better if it had an on-site cafe but overall a lovely place.

Visited Cefn Onn Parc recently for a short 15-minute walk as part of a social outing with children who have ALN, and it was such a positive experience. The kids loved exploring the little streams, spotting all the different fungi, and even climbing on some of the cut-down trees. It’s a really peaceful, dog-friendly place with so much to discover, and I can’t wait to go back and explore more of it.

Such a lovely place to come and just walk,sit down or have a picnic. It comes to life for me personally in the spring time just everywhere you look there is colour. I come here with my wife and woofie and sometimes we just sit and people watch and just switch off. Lovely walk all the way to the top where you can sit and have a picnic. Toilets and a place to wash your boots or woofie in the car park. Parking can be a problem but not all the time. Overall the Parc is spotless.

We visited in the late spring the park was beautiful. We will go back in the autumn to enjoy the autumn colours.

Great place to take the dogs for a walk , with plenty of shade . Beautiful scenery, and very well maintained .

The food was good, correct, but the children's burger was thin and dry. The salad with rocket and tomatoes wasn't tasty for me. The service was nice and polite. A place with an atmospheric and creative design. The place is clean and pleasant. Bathrooms are large, clean and fragrant.

Decent food that is just about reasonably priced. Nice interior and staff are quick and efficient to clean tables etc. between sittings. Good service and you can either order off the app or go to the bar. Drinks and food were quick and tasty. The menu has lots of options so there should be a chance to order something you'll like and possibly try something new. Worth a visit and if you sit upstairs you get good views of the castle as well.

Came in for food today with my partner and my mum, food was absolutely stunning and service was amazing! Would love to give a shoutout to the nice lady with blonde hair behind the bar, really went the extra mile to make us feel welcomed :)

Cold restaurant with a cold reception from the staff. Really disappointing Valentine's lunch. The venue is really dirty too. The table and chairs were covered in old candle wax and debris. The glass given to me was incredibly dirty. I'm assuming the management team haven't heard of Renovate. Food was average. Cold sweet potato fries which had to be returned. Missing items from the mains. In general, pretty rubbish.

Regular visitor here but the last 3 visits have been poor. Especially the drinks service and quality of drinks. I have given feedback via email the first time and manager emailed back but sadly this has got worse. A few weeks ago I waited 30 minutes for 1 pink lemonade. I asked 2 servers and still no drink. I had to go downstairs and get myself in the end. No apology ! The. Yesterday our food came before our drinks again! The pornstar martini was full of Prosecco and couldn’t drink and again we had to ask where our drinks were as food was already on the table . We also had to ask for cutlery. Also tried the cookie dough which was burnt around the outside and unable to get out and eat as it was that hard. The staff used to be so friendly and attentive in here but the service has gone down hill massively . You also need to sort the quality of your cocktails and wait time on drinks! Very disappointing as I was a regular customer here but sadly won’t be rushing back as that’s 3 poor visits now

Best all day breakfast I've had in a very long time. I'm not a lover of hash browns, but these were the best I've ever had. Topped off with a pint of Hofmeister (on tap).

Atmosphere great, staff cheerful. Food is not a good value for money. Fried chicken was dry, noodles had no sauce (why), portions were small. Only the chips was good.

More than an hours wait for a moderately warm burger. No warning or apology from the staff. The pub is not very busy. It took so long I lost my appetite and finished my drinks before food was served. The photo shows the beers garden empty and there is no one inside....

Lovely old pub in the centre of Caerphilly with a brilliant beer garden, with great views of the castle. Good selection of beers and lager on tap. Nice friendly welcome and absolutely cracking food, Some would say it's a bit pricey for Caerphilly, but I thought it was worth it.

Lovely experience overall—friendly staff, food and drinks were very good, and the convenience of ordering through their app. The view of the Castle from the seating area is absolutely stunning.

Food, staff and atmosphere were absolutely first class. Quite possibly the best pub I've been to. Stunning views of the castle ample outdoor seating. I can't wait to return.

Really nice place great view Gay guy at the bar was super accommodating with remembering drink recommendations! 👌

Frequent visitor of The Court House... Best beer garden in Caerphilly! They always have a decent selection of drinks on tap, as well as a variety of food on the menu. Eleri on the bar always goes above and beyond, making you feel welcome through her easygoing personality. Brought the family here for a meal where everyone made compliments to the chef, Gareth. I highly recommend this pub to family and friends visiting the area.

The woman provided , had given extremely rude service towards my family , loved the food however I have never felt so unwelcome in a environment due to the backhanded behaviour of this woman, I hope this can be resolved and this worker can be spoken too.

Walked into subway, two staff working but just ignored me completely. Waited patiently thinking someone would have basic decency to take my order but left after waiting for nothing. How this store is still is business is beyond any comprehension.

3rd time ordering on JustEat and for the third time in 3 weeks they have got the order wrong. Ordered it at 9am to be delivered at 1pm for lunch break in work and still turned up 40 minutes late. If you want the wrong food sent you can guarantee this place will do just that!

Ordered on the app for pick up but when I got there they said that their machine wasn't working. I've lost my voice so I couldn't speak, I tried telling the gentleman, he understood and I showed him my order on my phone. He made it quickly and perfectly. He was very polite :) thank you! This was 22/06 at about 1530.

Ordered a salad, took over an hour to get an update, girl on the phone said it's on the way. I called in again and the girl said no one had picked it up, despite being told it was being delivered by their staff.

Best subway ever staff need a pay rise

Fantastic new member of staff who is a credit to the place. Went above and beyond this morning and was great to see someone who wasn’t robotic. I didn’t catch his name but will next time I’m in to update here. Great food and a credit to the company.

This place is very hit and miss. Only one or two staff members have any customer service skills, the rest are not interested through to rude. Usually staff are too busy chatting to each other or their friends who visit the shop to pay any attention to you - on a previous visit I was asked the same question 3 times, when I commented on this they were again too busy talking to hear what I was saying. I know it's not the most thrilling job in the world but a smile and a hello wouldn't hurt. It's also not very clean, on a recent visit there were black rubbish bags in the food prep area and they seem to have an issue with fly's in the shop which are evident almost everywhere and again staff are oblivious. They all wear gloves but I've seen some not change them between serving people for food and at the till.

Love visiting travellers rest, even if it’s for a bar snack (3 for £12) a pub grub meal, or coffee & dessert. Food is delicious & service is amazing, staff are welcoming and friendly. I’d highly recommend visiting, it’s extra special when the fire is on during the colder days. Thank you Tania & your team for all your hard work.

Welcoming dog friendly restaurant serving scrumptious food. Cooked to perfection Seabass, substantial delicious Chicken & ham hock leak pie, tender beef brisket sandwich with triple cooked chips, tasty breaded chicken breasts topped with cheese sauce! Mini pudding menu cried out to be tried and did not disappoint!! Absolutely great friendly service from Adam too! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

What a fabulous pub, in a beautiful location. We were greeted as soon as we arrived and shown straight to our table. Darren was our waiter and very funny! The restaurant was beautifully decorated and very clean. Food was delicious, my only criticism was the time it took for our dinner to arrive, it was a bit too long , but everything else cancels that out. We will return

Nice old pub. Different to ones in Australia. Just watch your head on entry . Food was great, service quick. Had the chicken parmigiana or parmy as we call it was up there with the best I've had. The bacon was a different touch as I normally have ham on it ,but was again great

Lovely country pub with thatched roof, low ceilings with oak beams, open fires, creating a superb atmosphere. Good selection of beer on tap, with ciders, wines, cocktails, etc. also to choose from. Excellent, friendly, quick service. Food quality is phenomenal, compliments to the chef and staff. Good sized car park. Outside seating available. Dog friendly. Highly recommended.

The atmosphere was perfect, food devine and the first class. We completed our walk over Caerphilly Mountain and Trig Point and could see for miles over the Egwysian, Caerphilly, the Bristol Channel, Steel Holm, flat Holm and Cardiff. Loved the walk and the well deserved refreshments at the Travellers Rest

Came in for lunch with a friend. Was greated by Steph who was very cheerful, she found us a table and sat us very quickly, she told us Lisa was our server. Lisa greated us with a smile and was happy to answer our questions, and give us information best to her knowledge. She informed us our chefs would be Dylan and Beccy.

Can't sing their praises enough. First visit & Can't wait to return. Don't know who enjoyed it more, us adults or the children! Very clean, well looked after. Things to do dotted all around. Really gets choldrens imagination going. Dog friendly which is a bonus as we were able to take the dog too. Plenty of parking. Friendly, welcoming staff. Pizza was also great! The cafe is clean, tidy & great selection too. Easter egg trail which was fab, children had a chocolate egg at the end :)

Its a very long walk for younger kids so comfy shoes are a must the activities are so good and varied the tree houses are amazing there are two massive pillows for bouncing on like a trampoline you have to take shoes off not an issue but its sandy round the edge so trying persuade an autistic child to put the shoes back on for the rest of the walk was tricky but we managed the cafe is beautiful lovely ice cream much needed after the walk great value for money too

Brilliant experience. We took our eight and three year old grandchildren to Mountain View Ranch to see the Gruffalo Trail, but the Ranch is so much more than the Trail. It’s 100 acres of wide open space for kids to run around and explore with cleverly interspersed activities on a nicely choreographed route. The activities and experiences blend in with the wonderful natural setting and are all good quality. It was our first visit, so it was all new to us, but I think every visit will be different due to the seasons. The children loved the map and collecting the stamps on it along the way so they could get the Gruffalo sticker. There are porta loos scattered discretely along the route and plenty of bins, including recycling. Benches and picnic tables are available to eat your own picnics. As it is school holidays the Pizza Hut was open. Pizzas were freshly made and tasty, prices £10 to £12. Had a quick look in the coffee shop and apart from ice cream, cakes and takeaway coffee there only seemed to be a few white bread pre-packed sandwiches available. We pre booked on the website and got a 10% discount. We were lucky with the weather, some showers first thing and then sun, but if the weather is going to be bad on the day you’ve booked you can move your booking. Price was very good, £32.90 for the four of us. We booked a 9.40 slot, and could have stayed until the park closed at 5pm. From the playground sited in a huge sand pit with big Tonka Toy trucks at the entrance, to meeting (spoiler alert) the Gruffalo at the end this is a brilliant day out for the whole family. No need for a phone, except to take some lovely photos. Unfortunately as my grandchildren are visible in most of my photos I can’t post too many here. There are some improvements coming into 2026 and we look forward to returning to The Ranch. The Mountain View Bike Park is separate, but next to the Ranch, so there is something for everyone on this site.

We had an amazing day out here with the family, lots to do for the kids they really enjoyed themselves we will definitely be back a cheap day out for the family xxx kids were always entertained and the staff were very accommodating and lovely xxxx

We had a lovely day yesterday, it was our first visit and we were very impressed 😁. The grounds are beautiful, each activity is designed with amazing creativity. The treehouses and the fairy woods. There was so much to do! The entry price is inclusive, everywhere is else is so expensive but keeping your prices low will invite many more visitors. We travelled for an hour to get to you and would again and again for the lower price.

Such a fantastic day out! Tip, start at the end first and work your way back up the ranch! Lots to do for the kids, different things along the way! The goats do eat the trail maps, so to avoid tears, hold them away from the goats when petting 😂 Will definitely be back again soon, the kids absolutely loved their time here.

We had a brilliant morning, the goats were a lovely surprise and my little girl loved the park and jumping pillow so much we didn't explore the trails. This was our 1st visit and we'll definitely be back. Thankyou for stocking dairy free ice cream on such a beautiful day this was a bonus.

Such a lovely place, I had no idea it was there. 90% of the enclosures are to a good standard and the animals seem very healthy. Lovely volunteers feeding the pigs and goats (Monday). Unfortunately it is not great for prams and it was very bumpy which kept my little one awake the whole time. They have tried to make it better but it needs a lot more done. Ramps need to be improved. Cafe is very cute. Bird Avery's were lovely.

Good day out, nice place, decent variety of animals and that's about it. Things to make place better - need much better toilet facility, very poor! Most of the wash stations didn't work properly, need better play areas for kids and it's expensive for what it is. Extra charges for animal encounters, animal feed should be £1. Foam party was cool, kids enjoyed that, but as it was at 4pm, we had to wait along time as you will go around the park in 2hrs max, should bring it forward a bit. If you haven't been then it's a decent day out with kids, but doesn't have repeat visit appeal.

Fabulous park. My 10 year old granddaughter loved seeing the different animals - and particularly enjoyed feeding the goats and llamas and being able pet them. Nicely laid out with picnic areas and lovely play areas too..will definitely visit again

Absolutely fantastic day out with the kids. Plenty of things to see and do. Lovely areas for the children to play, eat and run around. You need to pay extra for interactive sessions, but for 2 adults and 2 children was an extra £12 for 3 sessions. Def worth a visit and we will be back.

Went on a family outing to the Park (2 adults, 1 child) and everyone had a fantastic time. Even as you walk in towards reception you already get to see some gorgeous peacocks and ducks. Friendly greeting at reception and easy sign in. We were handed our animal feed (purchased in advance with our tickets) and explained the rules very clearly. We stopped for a snack first at one of their picnic tables and then proceeded through the park. Amazing animals right as you start with information about them on a poster by the enclosure. We were extremely lucky to have been there at feeding time and we got to see one of the volunteers feed the meerkats and he even took the time to tell us about their personalities and behaviour. It was amazing to see the animals up close and being cared for so nicely. As we carried on, we got to see some animals we don’t usually see in these farms, like a Kookaburra and a skunk. Continued on towards the goats who were hungry fellas and very gentle, my child had a great time feeding them. We then headed towards the llamas and alpacas who were also very gentle and easy to feed, it was a fantastic experience. Throughout our visit we got to see swans, ducks, horses, lemurs, capybaras and even wallabies! One of the wallabies had a baby in their pouch! So cute!! Foam party at 4pm by the reception which all the kids seemed to be having a blast with! I’ll also mention that there’s a lovely play area for smaller children with a sand pit and some little houses. There were hand washing stations all throughout so you could consistently wash your hands after interacting with the animals. If I have one small note, it would be that a few of them had run out of soap but that wasn’t that big of an issue as there was always another one nearby. We’ll just bring some hand sanitiser next time, no biggie. We didn’t sign up for the animal interaction this time - they have goats, bunnies, Guinea pigs and tortoises - but we will for sure go for it next time. All in all, it was a brilliant time, there is something for everybody there. You can see the animals are well taken care of and they all looked very relaxed. The staff/volunteers are incredibly nice and more than one took the time to have a chat with us about the animals. Will definitely be visiting again.

Such a lovely spacious farm. With s lovely petting area where you can sit with rabbits and guinea pigs. There is the option of paying extra to go into some of the pens with certain animals. The farm was clean and tidy. The volunteers were friendly and were able to answer questions. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is we had to wait 30 mins in a queue to enter, even though we booked online for quick entry and a certain time slot. It was a very hot day with no shade. My child got bored and wanted to go home even before we go in.

Absolutely beautiful place. Very reasonable entry price. Enclosures and whole park very well maintained. Clean and very easy to navigate. All animals were kept in immaculate condition. Really enjoyed the Lemur walk through especially!! Friendly staff. Will definitely return!

Cadw have carried out a wonderful build of the banqueting hall, towers and flower garden. The animated video explains the history of the castle and the main characters. Well worth a visit.

If you get the chance please pop down to see this fantastic castle you will fall in love with it tho beautiful walk around the pond then on the way for a nice coffee or tea.

Wonderful Castle, Nice Walks And A Great New Coffee/Bar/Restaurant Opened Up Right Opposite Called Rositas Bar. Definitely Recommend A Visit

A pleasant cafe cum visitor centre with views of the castle which is just across the road. Decent coffee and snacks at a reasonable price. Toilets downstairs are a shared public facility.

Very helpful staff, got us to buy a 3 day pass that saves us a bit of money for all our visits to every other castle

Nice cafe just over the road from the castle, good friendly service. Go here 1st before a chain coffee shop😀👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Then make sure you visit the castle,absolute splender, with all the trimmings of complete battlements , seige weapons, views, great Halls, and very helpful staff who have fantastic knowledge of the history of Caerphilly castle. It makes a great day out for any family.

Nice little cafe overlooking the castle. Very nice staff. Seems to serve only snacks and drinks but still a pleasant environment.

Have been coming here for nearly 20 years, never had a bad meal, hubby is slowly working his way through the menu and has not had a complaint yet, service is always 5* whether you are eating in or taking away, they even know our favourite dishes, a proper family establishment, I can not recommend enough.

Glorified take away. Booked for a sit down meal. Couldn't shut the windows properly so cold blowing in. No tablecloth or plate warmers so everything went cold quickly. No atmosphere so won't be back.

Absolutely shocking experience with Raj of India Caerphilly on New Year’s Eve 2024. I placed an order at 6:10 pm with a 45-minute delivery estimate. Knowing it was a busy evening, I waited patiently until 7:15 pm before trying to contact them. From then until 9:14 pm, I called 11 times, sent messages on WhatsApp, and even tried Facebook Messenger—no response. When I finally got through, the person on the phone said, “I packed that ages ago,” as if that was an acceptable excuse. Meanwhile, I’d been waiting over 3 hours for food that never arrived. I’ve had issues with their slow delivery before, but this time it was the last straw. How can a business keep accepting orders when they clearly can’t handle the demand? If you’re too busy, stop taking new orders so customers can find somewhere else instead of being left waiting and hungry for hours. Save yourself the stress—just don’t bother.

The staff are always incredibly friendly and seem to have a savant-like memory for the curries I’ve ordered in the past, which makes each visit feel personal and memorable. The food is consistently excellent, super tasty and served in no time at all. I’ve been back the last two Saturdays and it’s been an absolute pleasure. Curries of this quality truly deserve to be enjoyed in a restaurant setting, not just from the sofa in front of the TV. Please do take this as a heartfelt note of appreciation. I really enjoy eating at your place and seeing your friendly faces.

Amazing atmosphere, amazing food! The guys always treat us good, and the price is unbeatable for the quality! THE place to go for good food!

Awful, awful, awful. Please avoid! When the food eventually turned up, one of the main meals was missing. Vindaloo sauce had spilt everywhere in the bag. An absolute mess. Greasy, gristly food of the very lowest quality. The missing meal was delivered over an hour later (with no freebies as a gesture of goodwill), by which time the rest of the food had solidified in its own muck. The worst service and Indian food I’ve ever eaten.

If I could give a zero I would. They delivered my food to the wrong address. Never again. This isn't the first time. They've messed up an order and not given a crap. I have checked my uber details and they are correct!

Lovely pub with real log fire. Server Finn very friendly and helpful. Food tasty and good portions. Relaxing atmosphere and very enjoyable meal. Highly recommended.

Had a lovely meal yesterday,we were served by a lovely boy called Jon,he went above and beyond for us..Will definitely be back for more

Beautiful pub with a delicious Sunday roast. Plenty of choice for mains and dessert and extremely accommodating for children and their needs. Staff were super friendly especially Gina who although busy took the time to chat and ensure that all visitors felt welcomed. Will definitely be returning!

We popped in The Black Cock for a quick drink after a stomp up Caerphilly mountain! A friendly pub with a good choice of drinks. Nice little play area out the back too. It was a bit late on a Sunday, so we missed the 3pm kitchen close time unfortunately. Nice big car park and not too far off the main road!

Had an incredible curry with chips and rice. One of the best I’ve had. Bartender, Dan was awesome as well. Was great crack when I sat at the bar. Loved the pub. Definitely coming back

My partner and I had a good Sunday lunch here a few days ago. The food was very good, decent portion size and all cooked very nicely. The service was good and the staff were friendly. Plenty of parking too.

We visited The Black Cock Inn for a family birthday meal (three of us, total bill £69.50) and left pretty disappointed. The portion sizes were small and everything felt overpriced for what we got. My mother’s steak aaround £21 tasted frozen, not fresh. When I tried it, water came out of the meat, there was no seasoning, and it had no flavour at all. My chicken tikka curry, rice, and chips (also £16) were just standard, nothing special. The chips were the best part and the rice was wet. We ordered nachos for £7, expecting enough to share, but it came in a small gravy boat dish. It was barely enough for a child, let alone a table. We didn’t bother with dessert since they were £7 each and after the rest of the meal, we didn’t feel like it was worth trying. Overall, the food quality and portion sizes do not match the prices. Would not come back for a special occasion.

Went last night for a celebration Family Birthday meal, Food was absolutely delicious at this pub. Staff were Amazing throughout from start to finish.... Will definitely be returning here again in the future, Especially savings we had 40% off meals and 40% off premium drinks ...

Visited a few times now and staff are always so helpful and friendly and the food is lovely. Our server Lauren (who has put up with us a few times 😂) was amazing and very helpful, especially with my daughter who now refers to Lauren as her friend ❤️

Pub was almost empty on arrival but with many bookings. Warm welcome and easy access to table. Foodwas good value and tasted lovely

I had a quick catch up meal with a friend, I was fast and efficient but quite chain restaurant like, which is obviously to be expected. That said the food was nice and the staff were polite and helpful. It's a Dog friendly pub if that bothers you or aids you.

Came Friday night with family! Amazing service from Jared so helpful when taking my allergy order, food came out quick and was amazing.

I booked a table of 12 only the night before for my son's birthday, the staff were lovely from start to finish and all the food was fabulous.. We were told straight away what was missing from the menu so wasn't disappointed when placing our order..

booked a table to celebrate family members birthdays, staff were very welcoming and attentive, great choice of menu, the big daddy burger was outstanding. The food was served very quickly highly recommend, will definitely be returning

Big park considering it is in a city. It has different sections open grassland, woodland and a few small ponds. This park has had more investment than my local parks. There are also playgrounds, tennis courts and a mini railway. They look to be opening a Brodie's coffee in the hut there, which is good as there aren't many coffee or food options without leaving the park otherwise. That will also have toilets (unsure if they will be for customers only). There are a few different car parks, which is good as it spreads visitors out a bit. The car park I go to is also free for the first 2 hours which is rare in Cardiff now - providing you enter your registration details.

Didn't want to drive so got there by bus. Not difficult to go but still a track to the park. Kids playground, tennis courts and green if you'd like a picnic. A kiosk there selling drinks and lollies. But please DO NOT use the toilet there. Can walk further up for miniature train ride. But it was far too busy we went the weekend before school holiday week. Paid £1.80@ to go in the "train station" area and was surprised to find out we still need to pay £1.80@ every mini train ride! Thought the entrance fee would mean train rides! Love the train model there and guess that money goes into the fund to keep the area going, but appreciate a free ride if it requires entrance fee. Thanks for the volunteers/staff who run the place anyway.

Lovely clean and spacious park! Cardiff is definitely the best city when it comes to offering green open spaces.

Only a quick visit. Got a bit busy, as expected during these times, but manageable. A great climbing frame for the older 6+ kids and a smaller one for the toddlers. A lovely pond and wooded area to walk around and explore. Also a big football pitch/grass and golfing area. Plenty of space to run around and let off some steam.

Lovely large outdoor space with childrens play area. Lots of room to walk the dogs

A lovely family/dog park in my neighborhood, my husky loves it so much, plenty of space for him to run and play. My second favorite park in Cardiff after Bute Park which is even more amazing. 💕 💕 💕

Another one of Cardiff's great parks! Lovely all year round. Always seems full of life at the park with kids players, people walking dogs. They even have new tennis courts that are in great condition that you can use as a PAYG.

Hi I ordered from your burger place on just eat and I am appalled with the food and service. My 2 burgers were completely wrong and I was missing chips. I phoned the restaurant and spoke to Charlie who was nothing but rude. She told me there was absolutely nothing they can do and advised me to re order and re pay. When I am not guaranteed a refund through just eat. What we did have was awful. The burgers were literally burnt to a crisp. And the chips in the tray were literally less than half full. All I wanted was to give the 2 wrong burgers back and have the 2 correct ones I ordered. Although after eating what we did receive I will never want to eat from here again which is a shame.

Located in the heart of Caerphilly town the King's is a great pub to watch sport at, there are plenty of TV's and a big screen. The decor is a bit tired but it adds to the character of the pub as a whole, the staff are friendly and the food is decent, though the menu isn't the most extensive.

Lovely honest pub grub. No complaints.

Nice pub pleasant staff good range of ales and decent menu. Visited on an arranged coach visit before going on to watch WBA at Cardiff City. Was made to feel welcome by the locals and recommend a visit if you are in the area.

Had the best burger and waffle fries ever today! Shane behind the bar recommended it and suggested I try a peppercorn sauce with it, well it was banging and it’s now my new favourite. Thank you Shane for great customer service and a banging lunch

They do not serve food, otherwise they had a good selection of drinks to choose from and good music playing.

Nice in eating area with friendly staff. Food was hot but the beer battered fish was just awful. It started off fine but about half way through it became watery, greasy, and bland. I could not eat it and left with a stick of gum in my mouth desperately trying to erase the memory of it! I could not use the loos as 1 seat was broken, another had the remnants of blood smeared on the seat and another one looked like it had feaces on the outside of the bowl. The last cubicle was a no go as it was so small I would have had to press myself against the loo to get in and there was no way on this earth would I do that after what I saw😨😨😨

Booked a small party for our little boy today and it was wonderful. Staff were so helpful and polite, beforehand and on the day. We've been to Poppelwood a few times and always enjoy. It's such a lovely soft play/role play with a twist, especially for younger kids. Our party consisted of ages between 1-5yrs and it was perfect for them all. Lovely little baby section and an older soft play area, although our little boy is 2 and the bigger area is safe enough for him to go around by himself. The best party is the lovely forest/fairy houses which have a reading nook and a play kitchen. It's very cute and well thought out. Decent food and fair prices. We already can't wait to come again. Thank you ladies for making our afternoon really memorable.

We went here with our grandaughter over Easter and had a fantastic time. There was extra fun and excitement provided by the Easter Bunny and an Easter egg hunt with prizes. The place is put together with great imagination, and obviously done by people who really care about and understand children. As well as the great softplay areas, there are little bridges, tunnels and nooks to explore with reading areas or kitchens in them. The staff are lovely - really friendly and very helpful. I've read a couple of reviews where people don't like the low seating and tables...but in my view these are ideal for adults and children to sit on/at as long as you watch they don't grab your hot drinks - but this is something you'd always expect to do with small children around anyway. The booking system ensures it's not too busy. Our hot chocolate was delicious. I would recommend taking a jumper, as it can feel a bit cool when you first arrive, but once you start running around with the children, you soon warm up. A really magical place...and the best softplay experience we've ever had. Highly recommend.

quaint not too big, lovely wooden theme, very clean, new things, nice staff. not massive but nice. love the little wooden houses and play centres. better for smaller kids than teenagers.

Nice little place, doesn't have loads of stuff but easy to spend a couple of hours in. Shame the wizard hut and couple of the buildings are padlocked and not open. Booked online and pretty cheap for just £6 a table (for 4 people including 1 child place), and get a 2 hour slot.

Had my daughter's 5th birthday party here today. It was excellent! Poppelwood has a lovely, chilled environment as you arrive. The staff have everything organised and running very smoothly (though are very hard to get hold of for any communication leading up to the party), the wizard entertainment was amazing and the kids loved it. So different to your ordinary soft play experience. They've gone to so much effort with the setting and play equipment. Really magical!

Lovely setting for childrens parts or just indoor play. Went to a party there that had a Wizard potions show in a cottage within the play centre. The children also had their party meal in the cottage.

Such a lovely area my 2 and 3 year old loved it. Clean and stunning to look at would have loved to go while the wizard was there so we will definately be returning for that x

This is a place I’ve come to, many times to walk my dogs. I’ve seen the park mature over the years until present day. The park is maintained by a great team who have done a lot of work over the years to address drainage. As you walk around, you’ll see culverts which have been added. If you check out Penallta Parc on Google Earth, you’ll be able to see “Sultan” the horse from satellite. An aerial view shows a horse sculpted during the creation of Penallta. It’s a lovely place to walk and there are lots of different paths to explore. It’s a peaceful place and great to escape the hustle and bustle of life. In summer, people bring a picnic and sit on the grass relaxing. Well worth a visit.

Dog walking heaven! A nice selection of well maintained all weather trails interspersed with sculptures referencing nature and the areas mining past - perfect for dog walking, running or just going for a leisurely stroll. There are a number of wildlife ponds with decking and viewing platforms so care should be taken to keep dogs under control in these areas. The lower sections of the parc also form part of the national cycle network route 47 - so once again care should be taken to keep dogs under control due to passing cyclist. A walk up to the highest point in the parc is rewarded with some pleasant views and is a great spot to stop and take it all in. There isn't an on site cafe but the Colliers Rest adventure farm & cafe is adjacent to the bottom car park and does nice coffee and cakes along with a decent looking breakfast.

Lovely place, always loads of space to park. Great walking trails and loads of space if you have a dog. Bouldering on site too. Huge field so games/picnics or playing.

Such a beautiful and breathtaking place to be the views are something to behold, penallta Parc is an amazing memorial to the miners and pit ponies that dedicated their lives to families and people in their community's

We go for a walk here most weekends, it's a gorgeous park. We particularly appreciate that it has a proper tarmac path which makes it pram & wheelchair accessible. There are a lot of options to go on dirt/ gravel paths too if you want a bit more of an explore, so there's something for everyone. Such a great place to have on your doorstep, recommend if you want some fresh air.

Beautiful place to walk the dog, so many different trails to walk. Unfortunately the only downside is there are so many inconsiderate dog owners out there who do not pick up after their dogs, or who do pick up in dog bags and then throw them in the bushes, really shame as it can spoil it. More bins are needed around the site

Only ventured to the main flat area to try the drone. Nice location for a walk, and a few walking trails off the main flat grassy section. Good car park spacing, but I didn't see any toilets. I think this links to the Taff Trail north/south so a good route to explore if you are passing on a bicycle. There was a few points of interests we will look at next time, but not much to say based off our first visit. There were many dog walkers so I did mention I would be using a drone and are they OK with that. I wanted pictures of above the old Penallta Colliery, but so many restrictions regarding drone flying it's hardly worth holding my licence. These are the points of interests people want to see, especially as I run a local community page also. After looking all over this location next time, it may reflect a higher rating than three stars given this time.

Pizza was delicious! So was the limoncello cocktail with a scoop of lemon sorbet in it. The chef and waiter were both lovely and really helpful. The chef took the time to explain how he makes the pizza dough when I asked him some questions as I'm just starting to make pizzas at home.

This Neapolitan style pizzeria is an absolute gem and a must try (then likely go again). The traditional wildfired pizza's were incredible and the custard, Nutella and pistachio cream bombs were the literal icing on the cake. Incredible!

Quite simply the best pizza I've had in the UK. The guys are from Napoli, where pizza originated from, and it shows. Authentic stone-oven in the corner, fresh ingredients, dishes not normally available in the UK. Thoroughly recommended and enjoyable. It took me back to being in Italy. The meatballs are amazing, and being truly from Naples-never ask for pineapple on pizza, it's a big no no.

Great place! Very tasty food, reasonable prices and lovely atmosphere. Many options for vegans and vegetarians. Everyone will find something tasty there ☺️

Mama Mia, that is some fine pizza! Absolute first grade pizzas are being made in this little pizzeria in the heart of Caerphilly, and I want to go back to try the different things on the menu. I think one of the reasons the food here is so good is that they use such high-quality ingredients, so even the most simple dishes taste magnificent. Bravo!

Oh this place looks understated, don't let this fool you. The food in this place is beautiful Italian food, it tastes so good and the service was brilliant, they couldn't do enough for us. My eyes were bigger than my belly because I was hungry and I ordered a side of chips as well, couldn't eat the chips to save my life I was so full so they gave us a doggy bag to take them with us. The portions are great and the staff are too, all reasonably priced and clean as a whistle. Don't let this diamond of a place pass you by, you'll be sorry. Thanks so much for a lovely meal.

Great pizza, calzoni, timballo, arancina and cannoli. Caerphilly 1st wood fire pizza joint. Highly recommended. Great customer service. Delivery service available.

Friendly service and excellent food. Great provisions for social distancing and the safety of staff and customers. Is say the best chips in Caerphilly by far. Highly recommended.

Brilliant and fresh fish! Lovely chippies! I will be back! Local is LEKKER!

Good fish and chips, along with two curry choices, once hotter than the other. Perfect if you want to sit in the park behind or plan a wander around Caerphilly Castle.

This chip shop is by far the best in Caerphilly but unfortunately it is also one of the slowest. They close at 9 o'clock. A couple of times I've been over about 8.15 and told they only have what's left and won't cook anything else. Also, I have tried to phone in orders on 3 seperate occasions so as to not wait but no answer on the phone. Such a shame as its lovely

Having recently moved down from Cardiff it’s been hard to find a chippy that could match up to my previous local, but castle fish bar are even better! Every time I’ve been the foods been excellent, chips are always crispy on the outside and lovely and fluffy in the middle. You can tell they take care with everything from the chips to the homemade chicken curry (personal favourite). Service can be slow at peak times as food is cooked fresh from what I understand but it’s well worth the wait as no chippy I’ve had in Caerphilly really matches up!

The person serving was handling cash and not wearing their mask when they were ask to at least pop their mask on and clean their hands, after watching them serving and taking cash, hand washing is a simple thing and as a food establishment should be done as standard they took a tiny amount of hand gel and rubbed it into their finger tips, sorry but this isn't hand washing, they have then put on the mask, completely pointless. Safe to say I asked the member of staff that night to clean their hands and not touch their mask before handling food and was met with an eye roll attitude, So I walked back to my car without food, safe to say this isn't my first experience of this at this shop but thought I'd give it another go.

Disgusting food. I have been using chippy for few months. Today fish cakes were hard like they had been reheated. Chips same. Greasy and tasted horrible. Going to try somewhere new next time. This was the one nantgarw rd as I only use this chip shop and a Friday night served by young girl and older cook. Very disappointed and waited over 30 minutes to be served and also had to have a refund on an item as the shop didn't make any. Curry sauce

Amazing food and amazing service wouldn't go anywhere else ♡

I've never eaten in the restaurant, but have been getting takeaway for years after coming to the conclusion (after much research) that this is absolutely the best Indian food in quite a big area. I've never been anything less than completely happy with the food here, and I wholeheartedly recommend the restaurant to anyone.

Food lovely and plentiful, in fact I had to take half of it home to have the next day, which is absolutely fine with me 😁 Naan bread was one of the nicest I've had in the local area. Restaurant is a little chilly so make sure you wear/take a jumper/cardigan that you can put on if you're cold.

Stopped for a takeaway on our way home as the reviews looked good. It was not good at all. The CTM was dyed bright red, really thick, like jam or porridge and very, very sweet. I have never seen or tasted Tikka Masala that colour and with such a weird texture. A tiny pot of creamy sauce was in the bag, that was tasteless too. I stirred it into the CTM but it did not improve the taste.The Korma also very sweet but with no flavour of anything, just bland. The 2 medium sauces for Lamb tasted OK but the one was just a pot of onions with hardly any sauce. The Dopiaza was the only decent sauce. It was really good. They did manage to cook plain rice and poppadoms that were edible. If I lived closer I would have taken the whole lot back and made them taste it. £30 wasted. While waiting, I tried to have a conversation with the man on the till and it was like talking to the wall. Zero interest in me and my questions about delivering curry. Try harder mate, especially as it was a Tuesday and there were just 2 people in there plus me. Horrible. Never again.

Saturday night takeaway did not disappoint. best indian meal i have had in quite some time ! keep doing what youre doing!

We had a delivery yesterday this is the best Indian food I have ever had top notch 👌 5 star

Amazing food, Amazing service and can't wait to go again.

Honest review intended to help. The staff are cool so I exclude them from what follows! This one is is on the owners. .....this venue should not be booked lightly. The accommodation block feels like you have been transported to the USSR in 1982 - so grim, grey and industrial -and the rooms are literally devoid of any creature comforts and I suspect would just about pass a health and safety assessment by millimetres. If you are a bricklayer working away from home you will cope. But if you are female or thinking of taking your kids there please think very carefully as I genuinely think this is not for you owing to the sheer absence of anything remotely representing comfort.

During breakfast time, a lady who was standing at the reception of the restaurant on 14 September 2025 asked the customer (me) for their room number and, without a doubt, said out loudly that I hadn’t paid for the breakfast, but it had already been paid. After checking out the system then she read out the customer's name in public while attempting to guess their nationality . Specifically , she read out the customer's (my) name abruptly in her subjective guessed mother tongue of the customer, which was not English while the language she can speak, and then interminable communicated with the customer (me) in public in non-English. This behaviour is not only offensive towards lacking privacy but also disrespects the customer (me). Then, while the customer (me) was selecting the food , that lady kept interrupting the customer (me) in non-English and in a guiding tone to let the customer say that the stay experience was “so good“. Thereafter, something even more uncomfortable happened, in fact, on the day of check-in, I asked a young male receptionist what breakfast to be served, and he said that all/traditional British breakfast was included. However, when I went to dine, there were only a few pieces of meat, scattered bread, and some drinks. As the breakfast serving time was almost over at ten o'clock, a couple of seemingly English speakers came to dine but the staff provided them with another so-called British breakfast. Until I left the restaurant, no staff asked me if I needed it or why it was not available, but others were served except for me. Surprisingly, there is literally no breakfast price difference! So, to whom will plan or intend to stay in The Beacon Hotel, please pay your attention: if you aren’t English native speakers or you don’t look like English speakers, this distinguished odd will treat you differentiated and without privacy, without respect, without fairness, and so forth. If you would like to enjoy or experience what is mentioned above, just go for it! About room situation: I'm not sure about other rooms’ situations, but at least the toilet in the room which I was staying in, emitting a pungent odour of urine, and it's still unpleasant even with the bathroom door closed. The pong gets even stronger when it rains and constantly comes out from the cracks of the bathroom door. Plus, some particular fabrics inside the room, including clothes and bedding, especially those articles placed in the bathroom, were permeated with the reek. Today I had moved out of The Beacon Hotel, I still can smell the foul stink on my belongings since then. One-week dross in this hotel!

Helpful staff and very friendly. Though the hotel is in need of updating the new owners are starting to make changes. For the room prices it's good value. Rooms are well cleaned.

Room was clean, bed comfortable. Ww only stayed for one night but was very adequate for our needs. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Great place for overnight stay

I got here late on and was greated by a lovely welcoming night porter. Once he'd told me that the pre-check in I'd done online never, ever, ever comes through, he said the room still needed paying for.... It took a few minutes for him to realise it had been booked with a card which he could charge. Not swiftly enough to save me from trying to call the company who were putting me up at 2330. Anyway. Once that was taken care of, he kindly helped me carry my heavy tool box to my room, because this place doesn't have a lift. While reception looks fairly modern the rest of the place has the feel of an American motel from a 90s thriller. Getting in to the room I discovered an unvacuumed carpet, badly maintained fixtures (for example, you can see a random splash of filler in the picture of the lamp) and wooden sticks instead of spoons for the tea and coffee because obviously actual cutlery would be too luxurious. The coffee, by the way, is their own brand of instant. I didn't try it. I don't trust the cleanliness of the place enough to make a drink. One of the cups had a wierd crust around the edge. It's probably just dishwasher salt... Right? Next door have been quietly talking for hours. I can tell they're talking quietly because I can hear enough through the walls that if I wanted to I could actually make out their conversation. The mattress is soft, which I think is about over-use because it's particularly soft in one area, I assume where everyone sleeps normally. As long as you don't mind rolling into someone else's divot I guess that's fine. I went into the bathroom and honestly considered whether I'd be cleaner not washing in there. Check out my pictures of the dirty, crooked, tiling and what looks like a blood stain on the shower curtain. There are other stains and grime but I can only spend so much time photographing hotel rooms. I did use the shower in the end, opting to leave the curtain open, and was greeted by a warm trickle from the shower head. I've seen more powerful streams of drool. There's a Premier Inn just around the corner. Go there... Or if that's full get a £20 cab to the centre of town (because it's that far out of the centre) and find somewhere there. Just don't stay here. It's rubbish.

Stayed for 1 night while in Cardiff to watch Stereophonics. I was a bit wary about this hotel after reading some of the reviews, however the room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. I asked for extra pillows and they arrived within a few minutes, the staff were very friendly and checkin was easy. Yes the room decoration is a bit tired, but overall it was good value for money considering hotels in the centre were charging £250 plus per night.

Shower didnt work in room 110. Only red hot or ice cold. Great service though. Had an issue with a booking few weeks ago and they couldn't do more to help me out even though it wasn't there issue it was a 3rd party.

I got married here back in 2016 from start to finish Vicky and staff made everything as smooth as possible polite and friendly and what a beautiful day we all had to celebrate my special day. Would Highly recommend anyone to consider this outstandingly beautiful manor house for any occasion as I'm sure it will exceed any expectation. 5* all around.

Llancaiach Fawr Manor exceeded all expectations! The historical charm and well-preserved architecture create an immersive experience. The knowledgeable staff's passion for history brings each room to life, making the visit educational and enjoyable. The beautiful gardens and scenic surroundings add to the overall enchantment. A must-visit for history enthusiasts and anyone seeking a delightful day out.

This experience was exceptional. The actors who really stayed in character throughout the visit at the Manor were entertaining, professional, and a joy to watch and listen to. The Manor was outstanding with so much beauty and detail. I would highly recommend a visit here and will definitely be returning at some point.

I highly recommend this amazing manor house. The tour guides are fully in character as authentic servants of the house and they never break character. They are charming and entertaining and highly knowledgeable about every aspect of life in this grand manor house.

A big thank you to the actors who stayed in character throughout our entire visit. My grandchildren were enthralled and horrified at the same time. They brought the past to life with engaging stories and wit. A fun day out, highly recommended, we took a picnic and enjoyed it in the grounds. The sun shone down on our very happy afternoon.

What an interesting place! The Manor House staff are in period dress and speaking old English, they are very knowledgeable about the house and the local area. Nice restaurant and the food was really good. Very enjoyable visit.

Loved it!! The tour was amazing, the tour guides were in character the whole time and so interesting! They were brill with our kids (who could have been better!!) We very much enjoyed our tour, thanks so much for a lovely afternoon!

The newly refurbished Hall is fantastic. Access to the upper floor with the new lift and beautifully decorated toilets. A lovely place to enjoy a variety of entertainment and community events.

Great local venture. with multiple use rooms on the ground floor, utilized for everything from martial arts to knitting. The main concert hall needs updating especially the toilets. and the main hall has no wheel chair or pram access other than ALOT of steps

We attended a concert last Saturday which was very entertaining but the venue was awful. It was a very cold day and there was no heating. The hall is very run down and the only means of entry are steps into the foyer and more stairs to go into the concert hall. They are no facilities for disabled entry. How Caerphilly Council gets away with this is beyond me.

I absolutely love this place. Went to a screening of Pride today with a Q&A from Sian James. It was a fab atmosphere. It was a fundraiser for a lift and for the centenary of the hall. I will be back many times this year. And once a lift is installed I may even volunteer as I am currently (and have been for a few years) on crutches so the stairs are a problem. Snacks & drinks extremely reasonable. Staff/Volunteers are so friendly and welcoming. Can't wait to go back

Visited here 3 times for plays put on by the dance group my daughter is part of. Nice big hall, plenty of seating, has quite an old feeling to it, whic adds to the atmosphere of the place. Not sure if there's a lift, but stairs need to be walked up to get to stage level, so worth bearing in mind if not good with or unable to use stairs. Also....seats are uncomfortable absolute nightmare trying to squish your legs in.

Went for craft fair, fair nearly closing, but good variety and friendly atmosphere

Awesome place, I have been going here all my life & it has always been a great place. I have watched my grandparents preformed and now most recently, watched my daughter in her MADD end of year concert amongst all the other gigs, concerts & events they hold through out the year. And soon they should be getting a lift installed which will increase the amount of people who can enjoy events at this amazing venue.

Had my daughter’s 4th birthday party here and I couldn’t fault it. Nothing was too much and was there to answer all of your questions. Food was delicious, kids had a fan time. We love the Eden centre for soft play but will definitely be back for more parties in the future.

Had an absolutely fabulous afternoon. Visited Santa today who was amazing with my grandson. He definitely is the real Santa. Magical experience. Great value for money too. Will be coming back next year.

Kacey and all the girls were amazing! Nothing was a bother for them and they did everything for our daughter’s party. Fantastic venue very spacious and immaculate, I will definitely be booking further parties there!

Absolutely wonderful party today, staff were so helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend, thank you.. you made a 6 year old very happy!

This place is okay for kids to run around and have a bit of fun with their friends, the staff are also nice here and if you book parties then they are flexible. The only downside is that the heaters in the building are terrible so it gets very cold in there.

Fabulous for younger children.i have been coming here for years. Lots of area to run around plenty of pre bookable tables to sit and eat from the menu if you wish. My youngest 2yrs 5yrs old, love the role play areas, and my 8yrs loves the football pitch there. The baby area is well equipped with toys but my only complaint if any, is they all need new batteries in them!! . The staff are lovely and helpful . Free parking outside . All in all a lovely couple of hours.wpuld definitely continue to visit.

awesome staff clean big lots to do. super fun play soft play centre un caerphilly

It's ok, maybe 4/5 trails/ small closed tracks plus a down hill slalom track for side by side racing. The tracks are smaller than small but serve a purpose for those who can't travel to a big trail park, there's little whoops n birms for beginner kid level riders and massive jumps at the top for the more experienced rider. Not all the trails are rollable, so if you're going to attempt them, you'll have to fully commit or you'll be eating dirt, redbull cans, and broken glass, yup, it's not the cleanest location but it ain't a complete dive. EMTBs are well suited here as on a manual you sometimes struggle to gain momentum in such short distances. There's a pump track too

Great area for a short walk

Very well built jumps with a new pump track. Progression further up the hill. 4x track work in progress

If you go clockwise, it's steeper. You have to cross the stream a fair few times. Apart from the end there isn't much flat footing. You will need a map as there are lots of trails and it is not obvious to complete the circular walk. Muddy for almost 60%

Stunning countryside and perfect for dog walking in all seasons

I only parked in the car park to look at the pond but it's beautiful

Lovely area, for biking and walkers

This friendly members club was founded in 1905. Located within easy walking distance of Caerphilly town centre and the local Bus and Train stations and just seven miles north of Cardiff, the capital city of Wales, Caerphilly Golf Club is ideally situated as a base for a golfing break in South Wales. There are few golf courses which can match the views from its fairways especially the 10th. Where else can you look out over a magnificent 13th century Norman Castle with its leaning tower that seems so close you can almost touch it.

We attended a private party and so possibly didn't get a true representation of the venue, but the staff were friendly and the service was good. Not a huge selection of beers and wines but very reasonable prices.

Friendly club but the layout is awful with you affectively playing a couple of the holes twice just with the tee slightly moved. Due to this 4 of the holes are played on a small concentrated area which is very frustrating as people wait creating a bottleneck. The greens could also be in better condition. There's a reason it was quiet and I can't imagine many visitors rushing back anytime soon.

We held my sons wake here just before Christmas so not an easy event to arrange ot go through, the place is proper old school, but the staff were amazing, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. I would also point out the caterers they use are not cheap rubbish others use the buffet they did was outstanding. I would recommend them to anyone 👍

We had my great grandmothers wake there, it was a beautiful send off. Food was good, drinks were reasonably priced.

My honest opinion its totally a jewel in the crown for Caerphilly Lovely sized venue spotlessly clean 👌 And the lovely lady that runs the club can't do enough for you to make your celebration extra special. Well deserved 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Great place for a snow walk, when the golfers are stuck on the 19 tee

Staff are lovely but I'm sorry to say the food was awful, the chips were grey and greasy and the batter on the fish was greasy and soggy. It's a big NO for me unfortunately.

Edit update: have gone to 1 star as thankfully I forgot I have reviewed before and was coming here regarding their £6 delivery to travel 1.4miles! Bullet dodged tonight! Sausage was barley cooked and mushy, this was a "large" chips and they put our cold bottled drinks in with the food so we have cold food and warm drinks. Very disappointed first and last time ordering from here. There are MUCH better chippies than this one in Caerphilly!

The staff were lovely. However, the fish batter is bland but the fish is cooked well. The chips were soggy and I couldn't eat them. We ordered and paid for fruity curry and jumbo sausage but all we got was a small sausage and no curry sauce. After a long week in work I was tired and hungry but I am really disappointed. I simply can't be bothered to go back and get the curry sauce.

Solid little chip shop / cafe and easily the best one in Caerphilly. Great chips, the batter is as light as a feather and traditional curry sauce. The service was relaxed and welcoming too.

Staff are friendly, chips is very good.

Excellent fish and chips, super customer service, highly recommend very good quality and value for money.

The order of food from this place is just utter poor, the first thing I'd like to point out is why on earth do I get the feeling this place has lack in food safety, picking up the battered cod, and finding a short hair under it (Could be any type of hair on the body), and the amount of oil also on the packaging is also highly annoying to see, on top there were burnt chip bits to go with it, they should have been taken out in order to show the caring fact of serving such food. I honestly wouldnt be taking up the chance of ordering here if this is the impression its given.

Award winning for a reason - great chippy! Situated on the main strip in Trethomas, this has become the best in the area. Clean with great staff and options to eat outside, this is an incredible place to come for fish and chips. Much is cooked quickly to order. The fish and double cooked chips were excellent. Peas and tasty curry sauce also. The supper option comes with p3as and tartae sauce. All very well packaged. Highly rate this place and will love coming back here time after time.

Called in to get lunch on Saturday 12pm after a recommendation by my husband's colleagues. The smell was delicious from across the road. Service was quick and friendly and we were provided with comfy seating and a pager while we waited for ours to be cooked fresh! Cod and chips was delicious, will certainly go back soon!

Unfortunately it seems that this once quality fish and chip shop has bought into its own hype and awards and has taken its eye off the ball. I entered the shop which was empty but had a hot plate full of food, a bit of a concern. The attitude from the young lad serving made me feel a bit like I was disturbing his conversation with his co-workers. He wasn’t rude but wasn’t very friendly either. I ordered a battered sausage, fish cake and chips. The fish cake was okay, I had one from here previously and it was maybe the best one I’ve ever had, this one looked similar but was closer to being a potato cake than a fish cake, very little fish in there and was cold in the middle. The Sausage was inedible. The batter was so hard I nearly cracked my tooth I tried to peel it off and I couldn’t, it was glued to sausage, I broke/smashed a bit off but the sausage was so dry and chewy I gave up. The chips themselves were somewhat limp and mushy on the inside yet chewy on the outside. I would say they weee bordering on stale and had most certainly been sitting for a while. Adding to this the top layer of chips had so much salt and vinegar poured on them they were vile. This sums up the lack of care that seems to have crept into the shop. This shop 6 months ago was always packed with queues outside the door, I have visited every 4-5 weeks since and have seen a steady decline and after throwing away 70% of this food I will not be returning. A real shame.

Absolutely delicious fish and chips! ♥️ A huge portion of cod with lightly crispy batter and beautifully-cooked chips with a hint of crispness at the edges! Will definitely use again as I would love to try the haddock next time 🤗 (Tried a chip shop in Caerphilly last week with the same ratings: Rubbery chips, very small potion of cod with uncooked slimy batter containing bones!! No comparison to Ship Deck xx Thank you 🤗🤗

Moved to the Cardiff area 10 years ago, and its taken all that time to find a chippy as nice (if not nicer) than my old local in Pembrokeshire. After discovering the Ship Deck I now often travel a 40 minute round trip. Well worth the journey !

Ship Deck is always our 1st choice whenever we fancy fish & chips. Normally the quality of the fish is excellent. Until today. We ordered 2 portions of fish and 1 of chips unfortunately the fish portions were very poor. As soon as I opened the boxes I could tell they were mainly batter and not much fish (as you can see in the photos). I am hoping this is a one off otherwise we will have to choose a different fish shop for our takeaways in future.

Let down by Ship Deck again. Undoubtedly great fish and chips, but arrived at 8.45 to be to be told they are closing early and have no food, despite their door stating they close at 9. This is the third time it’s happened - just wish they’d have the capability to sell food during the times they say they’re open - it would save the disappointing experiences from what is otherwise a great fish and chip shop. Update following reply from owner: Just checked Google - opening times still say 9pm. I didn’t see any other signage and person in the store didn’t refer to any amended opening times when I was looking at the door - just said he’d decided to close early because it was too hot. Also, as mentioned, not a one off - has happened to me twice previously.

What the heck is that? Payed for extra cheese - at first they forgot to put it as well as all other ingredients,lol, then - they just stuffed it and gave this cold sad demolished burger. I mean… it’s below zero Get your staff trained and probably hire more members, so I wouldn’t have to stand near deserted counter. Outrageous

Manager (Brad) asked me to takeout food at 10.15pm when im going to order food still we want to eatin. KFC closing 11pm and they not given permission to eat there. Unhappy about customercare .

Ordered our food on the machine, it was quick in all honesty, chips were warm at best and very salty to the point they couldn't be all eaten, we both had coke, when we tasted the coke it was room/warm, coke is to be drunk ice cold. Took it back to the counter and was just told by a teenager that the air conditioner had gone down, plus there was no ice as that wasn't working either. We were offered fruit shoot or bottle of warm ish water. We declined, the young man had an attitude and didn't have a clue what customer service was, he then went to speak to his manager who came out and we suggested they let customers know or put a sign up that the drinks were not chilled .." can't do that as we need KFC approval". We then asked could we have a bottle of coke which was in the fridge, " can't do that as it comes of our base price" the female manager then did eventually give us a bottle of coke. What a shambles you are KFC. Your customer service is shocking from bottom to top. Another customer lost. What a waste of £25.00 ..

First time at this KFC in Caerphilly. There is a drive through but I went in to the restaurant. There are menu/payment kiosks immediately as you go in. All orders have to be done using these, even if you're paying cash (which you then take to the counter with your receipt). There's a loyalty card scheme which gives you offers if you go to KFC often enough. The place was clean and had plenty of seating. The food was fresh & hot.

Disgusting hygiene, floors, walls, seats and tables a complete disgrace, absolutely filthy. Staff looked like zombies, no chicken on the bone, half the order missing, bins out of order. Hope my family don't get food poisoning. Definitely will not be returning

We ordered food for the team at work. Ordered this in advance in the day and was ready bang on when they said it would be. Food was great, hot and as you expect it. Staff were friendly and carried it out to the car.

The restaurant is really clean and the staff is super friendly. There's plenty of seats inside and out. The self-serve kiosks are super easy to order dinner or lunch.

Visited for a bridal shower afternoon tea, followed by cocktails. Very attentive and friendly staff, delicious food and drinks. Cocktails were interesting, fun and very reasonable too. They even added a sparkler in one for the bride. Thank you to the team and especially Kal. See you again soon.

Came for Sunday Lunch, nice to see a veggie wellington option with all the trimmings, food was delicious, the sharing platter of cauli-cheese & veg was really tasty, helpful staff & a lovely venue, a great addition to Caerphilly!. Not cheap, but perfect for a special occasion. Parking limited but we managed to park in the train station car park which was free on a Sunday.

Overall the best restaurant I've been to in years, the lady at the front of house was beautiful charming and friendly. The venue was immaculate....... but the food oh my word, best meal I have ever had in my life, and if you have desert try the sticky toffee pudding amazing!! Overall id give this place a 10/10, 100% will be coming back.

I came for the bonkers bingo - it was really good! For £49pp you get a 3-course meal, 90 minutes of bottomless drinks, and a bingo lingo type event. The host was great and the music was really good, everyone was up dancing the whole time. The event runs from 12pm-4pm and I’d highly recommend it. The food was gorgeous too, which I didn’t really expect because it was an event. Our only gripe was the bottomless drinks were a little slow to be served and some tables seemed to be on their 4th drink while we were on our 1st. A member of our party had a chat with the manager who was quick to rectify the situation and we did get served more after that, but maybe a few more staff members would have helped matters, or some better organisation of who was dealing with each table.

Lovely, fancy but not pretentious. Friendly & quick service. I thought the starters, beef croquettes and celeriac veloute,and the Ice Apple parfait desert were exceptional.

Banging as always, been here many times. The kitchen knows what they’re doing, big up the chefs Rhys and Steve. Service compares, the manager Kal kept my glass full all night

Good evening, I just wanted to send a huge thank you for making yesterday so special for my sister’s hen. From start to finish you were all amazing. Breakfast in the rose garden in Rosita’s was perfect, bonkers bingo was as epic as ever in Ten Degrees and our night was finished off in the VIP Room with karaoke. The food was delicious throughout, the service amazing and the drinks fabulous. Couldn’t fault a thing and would highly recommend you for the best place for hen party fun. There really is no need to leave Caerphilly. Thank you again 🙏

Our daughter was doing fortnightly lessons here on a saturday morning. At first, she loved it & we were happy customers. On the 4th or 5th lesson, my daughter was in tears when i picked her up as she had done nothing but ride in circles & been shouted at like no 12 year old should. Organization is generally bad, sometimes the lesson would start 10am prompt but other weeks they would be standing round for 20+ minutes in the freezing cold, waiting for a staff member to turn up, then get no apology or anything! Unfortunately this ruined the mostly good lessons we received by Bradley until he left, we now know why After going there for about 4 months, we had to go away for a weekend. We explained this after the last lesson when we would normally book & pay for the next one & asked if we could call to book as funds were tight. We were angrily told that this wasn't acceptable, they may be fully booked & that it might be best if we left it as this wasn't working?! But ring & they would see what they could do. When we tried to book again the owner had a disgusting attitude. She did not answer or return our calls & was quite frankly rude & arrogant when she did! The other reviews are correct about the potholes in the car park, never affected us as we always went in a high vehicle - clearly health & safety isn't taken seriously there, i dread to think what would happen if someone got hurt! Overall - A nice place, unfortunately let down by the owner! I guess thats why Bradley left!

Been coming here for a while. I appreciate it's a working farm but the entrance road for customers is dreadful and getting worse for pot holes and uneven surface for paying customers cars potentially causing car damage every week, week on week. Plus the booking and paying system is ancient with no online facility. It's 2025 😂

Fantastic facilities and very friendly staff

First time visiting. All staff members extremely rude to myself and my teammates. They took over 30 mins to put a course up 2 holes each which caused the starting time be late then expecting us to be on at our set time despite their mess up!! Girls had no longer than a 2 minute warm up or they weren’t allowed to jump. Definitely won’t ever be returning - won’t ever recommend. Very unfriendly & unpleasant place to be competing

Staff very friendly, excellent with our granddaughter, they have brought so much confidence out of her to ride...and she is loving the experience, thanks guys...xxx

Very friendly helpfull staff , we enjoyed our first day , will be coming back defo , 🌹, EMRAN , PAULINA , LIL SARA

Lovely people really friendly and helpful. Fantastic facilities. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for livery lessons or competing.

Went in to Caerphilly shop to get some dollars there was nobody in booth but staff sitting around. No one spoke to me or offered any help. I waiting 10 minutes before leaving. Will go elsewhere for dollars.

I booked a holiday to Cape Verde but since booking discovered that the resort is rife with severe sickness resulting in hospitalisations so decided not to go. Tui were refusing to allow me to change the destination so Hays helped me sort it out. They spent a huge amount of time on my behalf and did not take no for an answer despite Tui’s best efforts to refuse. I can’t fault the service I received and am very grateful for their help

I rang hays travel in Caerphilly for a quote for a holiday to benidorm, I was told that I would be called back in 5 minutes. I am still waiting. So, as you can imagine , I am not impressed one little bit by hays travel Caerphilly.

Gone downhill since its been hays travel , whenever you want to book a holiday with tui they always have to ring tui to book or make changes etc which they are on hold for hours , staff are great, always booked when it was tailor made , had no problems at all , won't be booking through hays in the future .

Got some good deals there

Very helpful.
