Paid in full in advance and spoke to the proprietor the day before we were due to arrive. She was very accomodating and looked forward to welcoming us. When we arrived, after our 4 hour journey we were shocked to see a sign on the door saying "ceased trading - due to unforeseen circumstances". When we looked through the window... More

Well I have certainly learnt my lesson about reading the reviews from Trip Advisor BEFORE booking and paying for any accomodation. If you are planning on staying here or have booked already please read this review now. After getting tickets for the Take That concert that took place on Tuesday 16th June, we struggled to find accomodation as everything was... More

I am usually very sceptical about the reviews on this site and often think that people can be too pernickety with some of their comments but after a weekend at this place I really felt that I had to share my experience/trauma with others to warn you off staying at this place. I booked two double rooms and twin room... More

A flying visit through Cardiff from the USA, and this place had been recommended to us by some friends in LA. It has a warm welcome from the landlady and the property is full of history and character. After we arrived, my husband's back strain kicked into spasm after carrying the suitcases at the airport (which usually involves a hospital... More

It’s clear that the Marlborough Guest House evokes extreme reviews. Either people love it, or they loathe their experience because of the landlady, Anna Howard. I think this is because Anna either takes a strong liking to people or an extreme dislike. Unfortunately, this decision appears to be based on her psychic feeling rather than any rational basis. I write... More
