Melrose Gardens is set back off the road in Penylan, an attractive suburb of the capital city, with its own off-road parking. The accommodation is modern & bright, comfortably sleeping 7 guests in its 4 sumptuous bedrooms. The open plan kitchen and living area are perfect for planning family trips to Cardiff's main attractions, while the snug is the perfect evening relaxing space. The living space is modern and open, with a comfortable lounge leading towards the dining area and a sizeable kitchen. A corridor housing the stairwell to the upstairs runs alongside these spaces so that they can be closed off from noise if required. The lounge area is calm and restful, with two double sofas and an armchair facing towards the TV stand and HDTV. Lamps and reading lights make this space both cosy and social. Just beyond, the modern, floating electric fireplace sits alongside the dining table and chairs. This space is deceptive, as the breakfast bar leads right through to a large kitchen area. There are also patio doors leading to the garden from this lovely space. The kitchen has everything you would need; an integrated double oven, Smeg stainless steel gas hob, a kettle, a toaster, microwave, integrated dishwasher and fridge, as well as your pots, pans, dishes, and silverware.

The second bedroom is cosy with a 4ft (small) double bed, a bedside table with lamp, built-in wardrobe and a small window behind the bed with a roller blind. The third bedroom is ideal for children, with two single beds separated by a bedside table with lamp, a large chest, and there’s a large window with a roller blind to one side of the room. The family bathroom located on the first floor is modern and bright, with a walk-in shower, WC, wash hand basin with mirror, and a heated towel rail. The rear backyard is fenced off for safety and is entirely private. The large patio space is a sun trap and is perfect for al-fresco meals and evening drinks after your adventures in Cardiff centre.
