Best garden in Cardiff City

Book Direct: Best Rates + Benefits

Welcome to Pontcanna Inn

Our friendly pub with rooms sits proudly in Cardiff, just a short stroll from the city centre and right by some of the city’s best green spaces. Whether you’re here for a matchday weekend, a relaxed escape or simply a very good excuse to stay for “one more”, a warm welcome awaits at Pontcanna Inn.

At the bar, you’ll find a carefully chosen line-up of wines, local beers, cask ales and cocktails, best enjoyed with comforting pub food and seasonal dishes from the kitchen. When sport is on, the atmosphere lifts a notch (or three), with live action shown on screens inside and out. And when the sun shows up, our garden becomes the place to be, pints pouring, pizzas firing and plans quietly extending themselves.

And the best bit? You don’t have to go home. Upstairs, our boutique bedrooms offer a calm, comfortable retreat above the pub, perfect for resting tired legs after a day of exploring, cheering or garden lingering. Stay the night. You’ve earned it.
