I booked a weekend stay at the Central Guest House as a base of operations for exploring the valleys. It’s located on a steep cul de sac on a hill overlooking Treforest and Pontypridd. It has dedicated parking but there is parking available on the street also if the spaces provided are full which happened to me on the second night. I was given a warm welcome and checked in smoothly. The facilities were pointed out, COVID policy explained, and my breakfast order taken for the morning, then I was shown my room. It was clean and tidy, with a an en-suite bathroom and wardrobe, desk and bedside table. There was a communal room available with tv but I availed myself of the WiFi and Netflix. The walls are quite thin and the floors a little creaky. If you’re a light sleeper this might be a problem but I’m not so I slept well on a firm, comfortable bed. The highlight of the stay was the breakfast, which I recommend you include when you book. The bacon was thick and good quality, as was the sausage. I also had hash brown, tomatoes (not a fan but I hadn’t told them that, beans were supplied on day 2) and toast. I was given the option to have orange juice as well as coffee and more was available if I wished. I felt like nothing was too much trouble. Overall, I enjoyed my stay. I think it would be a much more vibrant place if COVID restrictions weren’t in place and would be a good place to stay if you want a convivial atmosphere. I’m quite the introvert and I appreciated that this was noticed and respected. Checking out was as simple as leaving the key on the reception desk and bidding them a fond farewell. I don’t like messy break ups. I’d stay at Central Guest House again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone who likes the traditional B&B experience.
Very Good
