The Space:
Our townhouse - Pontcanna Park Escape, is the perfect escape for a getaway with family or friends. We are located right next to amazing parks in Cardiff - Pontcanna Fields and Llandaff Fields, the home of the Cardiff park run. Also close to Bute Park and Sophia Gardens. A short walk and you are in the trendy area of Pontcanna, bursting with independent eating and shopping places and Chapter Arts Centre. Just 30mins walk to Cardiff City Centre through the park and you can enjoy all the capital city has to offer. You can park on street in adjacent streets or at either or the very close pay and display car parks.

The house:
Pontcanna Park Escape is an old and beautiful house, it's a fun and cosy place to stay, perfect for friends and family groups.

The townhouse is a beautiful Victoria terraced property located on a very quiet street right next to the park.

As you walk in there is a cosy lounge on your left with sofas, TV and bookshelves.

The dining room seats 6 and is the perfect place to eat and enjoy the company of your friends and family. It has patio doors onto the garden, a beautiful fireplace and bookshelves filled with books and artefacts.

The kitchen is fully equipped with all you need to cook and serve a meal, oven, hob, full sized fridge freezer, dishwasher and washing machine are all there for guests to use.

The garden itself has a decked area, dining furniture and a chiminea.

At the bottom of the garden is the garden annex, sleeping up to two, it's not heated centrally from the house, it has oil radiators and has it's own bathroom with shower, sink and toilet. The garden room has a kingsize bed, tea and coffee making facilities, views of the garden and is a sunny spot at the end of the garden.

Upstairs is a family bathroom with rolltop bath, shower, sink and toilet.

There's a bureau on the landing should you need to do any work during your stay.

The first bedroom looks onto the garden and has twin beds, a bedside table, chest of drawers and a clothes hanging area.

The master bedroom has double windows looking out onto the quiet street. A kingsize bed, bedside tables, chest of drawers, wardrobe and dressing table.

Neighbourhood description:
We are located in Pontcanna which is a trendy and stylish part of Cardiff. The townhouse is perfectly situated near beautiful parks in a friendly residential area. Access to Llandaff Fields is as the bottom of our street so not far to go to get to green space and trees galore! You will be spoilt for choice with eating and drinking places in the area. There's so much to do in Pontcanna and nearby Canton, you may not even make it into Cardiff City Centre. Locally you can find Chapter Arts Centre which has a cinema, theatre, gallery and an amazing cafe and bar. Llandaff Fields which is right next to the house is the home of the Cardiff Par Run so you can join in if you are visiting over the weekend.

Getting around:
We would suggest walking, the walk to the City Centre itself is though the parks so its pretty scenic and you end up at Cardiff Castle, the gateway to the City. Local buses run in the area and if you want to explore further Cardiff Train Station is a 40min walk or taxi ride away.

Guest Access:
We would suggest walking in the local area, we are located very close to some beautiful parks.

We are also a short walk away from cafes and restaurants in pontcanna. Local shops and deli's are useful to buy supplies, of if you don't fancy cooking head to our local pubs - The Conway or The Pontcanna Inn. There's also a great pizza place called Cafe Castan in the park car park right next to the house.

Parking:
There is limited street parking available in our street, it's a tiny road and most of the spaces are for residents only (please see signage and road markings for info), so unless you find a non-resident space we don't suggest you park there as the traffic wardens are around. In the surrounding streets the majority is permit parking for residents so we would suggest using the two public chargeable car parks which are a two minute walk from the house - Pontcanna Fields Car Park and Llandaff Fields Car Park. Some free spaces available at times on Fields Park road, so you can check there before finding paid parking.

Other Things to Note:
We are in a residential area and have great neighbours who we like and get on with really well so respectfully ask that you keep noise to a minimum and don't have parties and large gatherings.

Please take care on the decking outside the garden room, it needs some attention and is uneven and needs repairing in places.

The twin bedroom window opens from the bottom at sill level and is usually unlocked, if you would like to lock it if children are using that bedroom, then feel free - a key is available and should be in one of the upstairs bedrooms.

Excellent Base for South Wales
Located in a lovely residential neighborhood adjacent to parks. Restaurants and shops nearby. House is very well equipped and comfortable. Just the 2 of us, we did not use the annex at rear of property. Pay parking available nearby. Would definitely stay here again.

Pontcanna Perfect!
We spent Christmas and New Years at this lovely home. Our family had a fantastic time. It is really well located and in a beautiful part of Cardiff. Our son proposed to his girlfriend here, so it will always have a place in our hearts. The team was very responsive and so nice to work with. I highly recommend this home.

Lovely house, beautifully decorated, well maintained - and a gorgeous quiet garden apartment
We loved our stay at that gorgeous house! From the outside this house is pretty nondescript, but once we stepped into it, we were immediately charmed! We stayed there for 3 nights (parents, 2 teens and grandparents) and we all loved it. There were little hidden places to chill for everyone. The house is beautifully and tastefully decorated. Instructions have been placed in little photo frames, so nothing can go wrong… it’s clear how to do the rubbish, where to put the keys, how to operate the gadgets etc, My absolute highlight is the mini apartment at the end of the garden!!! Absolutely gorgeous!!! We‘ll certainly be back! 💕 Oh and the area is lovely! We met the lovely neighbours, the guest cat and also the many dogs that are taken for walks in the park next door. And it’s just a 20 minute stroll through the park to get into the city centre! 👍👍👍

Why they chose this property

It's a step away from beautiful parks, it's right in the heart of Pontcanna - an amazing area of Cardiff filled with delicious restaurants and cafes, great gastro pubs, independent shops and leafy streets to walk around and explore.

What makes this property unique

The garden annex sleeping two provides guests with a chance to have their own little bit of peace in the garden away from the rest of the house.

The beautiful garden is a perfect sanctuary to relax and enjoy.

The old property is bursting with period features and quirks to admire and enjoy.
