Check-in with your four-legged friends to this chic bolthole stood close to the water's edge of the newly generated Cardiff Bay. Offering up enough amenities to rival a hotel, this place showcases the best of Cardiff city living. Bank a workout in the shared gym or with some lengths of the shared swimming pool, then enjoy a soak in the hot tub. Back upstairs, you'll love how pristine and light-filled this home feels. Fix up some drinks and nibbles in the made-for-action kitchen space, then curl up on the sofa to drink up the green scenes outside through the Juliet balcony windows. If you don't fancy cooking, you're just a hop, skip, and jump away from the impressive Cardiff Bay with its tour of waterfront shops and cafes. Or take an early evening stroll along the River Taff bound for the city centre to the pedestrianised Duke Street. Home to impressive eateries and independents beneath its circa. 1902 shopping plaza arcade, it's an evening well spent. And make sure to bid the mighty Cardiff Castle a good evening – it's right opposite. You could even catch a castle ghost tour for legendary tales of Phantom figures and strange phenomena – we dares you.
