Jolyon's, Cardiff

Boutique delights in the heart of Cardiff Bay

Jolyons is the ultimate home away from home in the pretty Cardiff Bay area, with beautifully appointed rooms and incredibly friendly staff.

Located in one of the beautiful old town houses - which nicely juxtaposes the modern architecture of the Millennium Centre, directly opposite - this six-room destination has all the charm of an upmarket B&B, but with the interior pizzazz of a boutique hotel.

The Bay itself is a real hub of activity with its vast array of restaurants and activities all within walking distance of Jolyons. It's easy to while away your time exploring in the area and when you've had your fill of its delights, you can easily hop on a boat and make your way into town for a little shopping indulgence!

However, you won't have to wander far if you're looking for cosy chic relaxation at the end of a day's exploring: Bar Cwtch, located in the basement of Jolyons, has a great buzz with its roaring log fire, comfy leather sofas and delicious, freshly made, stone-baked pizzas.
