Our initial expectations, after viewing the web site, were upheld as we arrived in rain soaked Cardiff, the hotel looked very beautiful with its light 'sandstone' fasard.
We received a reasonable welcome; the last hotel in Wales we stayed at, we were taken to our room, shown all the facilities and made a hot drink no such service here, just a finger pointed direction!
On entering our room we had a great view of the main road through the vast bay window then we saw the masive four poster complete with ladder! The room was carefully decorated and warm, it would have been more comfortable with better seating, just the two conference chairs let it down, but then we spend more time out of the room than in it. Our other disapointment was the lack of privacy with such large windows and no blinds if you wanted to change your only option was to close the curtains such a shame. The shower room was just that a shower, sink and toilet.
On a postive note the decor and new carpets complimented the house very well and its a joy to see Victorian decor and moldings so well looked after.
The staff we encounted were all very friendly and helpful, breakfast was ok - couldn't see the difference between a cooked english breakfast and a cooked welsh breakfast, nice bacon shame about the catering sausage.
Sadly we had to leave early and no attempt to charge us for the extra night was made which is refreshing today.
Our big negative was the noise, each of the three nights we stayed from the room above, which we understood to be a non letting room, three nights of walking around (floors creak in old houses), talking and general disturbance one night until after 2:00am. This awoke us each night,
granted when we mentioned it we received, a sorry.
In conclusion if you want a comfortable well presented room within 15mins walk of the city and your not as fussy as us you can't go wrong with the Lincoln House Hotel.
