Your journey around the biggest city in Wales starts at the remarkable Cardiff Castle, with walls and fairy-tale towers that conceal 2,000 years of history. Hop on the unmissable bright red City Sightseeing Bus to head on to bus stop 2 - the National Museum of Wales.

Check-in - Wales B&Bs & Small Hotels
Various Locations in Wales,
Wales
These Wales B&Bs and
Small Hotels give you the chance to stay in some of the most charming
independently owned B&B’s and quintessentially Welsh small hotels and inns
in some of the most picturesque locations in Wales – so you feel like you’re
staying in a special home away from home. The collection ranges from working
farms and former vicarages to Victorian town houses and country homes, and each
has been chosen for its character, charm and individuality - and of course for
the warm welcome you are sure to receive. Each boasts comfortable
accommodations and en-suite facilities, as well as an excellent, traditional
breakfast – guaranteed to provide a truly memorable stay. Your voucher entitles
you to your choice of Category 1 B&B or hotel. The B&Bs are mostly
private homes, which provide breakfast but limited additional services; the
small hotels typically provide access to additional food and bar services.
Upon purchase of your
B&B vouchers, please visit the following website to determine what your
accommodation options are in the area(s) you’ll be visiting, and where you
would like to stay:Â www.circlehotels.co.uk. It
is highly recommended that you request your accommodations as far in advance as
possible (a minimum 45 days in advance), since the properties are small and
availability is limited, especially in high season. Requests MUST be placed
through the reservations office of The Circle, by email. If you book directly
through the B&B or hotel, your voucher will not be honored, and you will be
responsible for paying for your reservation directly to the B&B/Hotel. Is
this were to happen, you will not be eligible for a refund of any unused
vouchers. Please note: these vouchers can be redeemed for B&Bs offered by
The Circle in Scotland and England, as well.
When planning your itinerary,
remember that B&Bs are generally not located in major city centers so you
will want to expand your search to outside of the city proper. Please be
advised that due to the size of the properties, if you are travelling in a
group or with another reservation, The Circle might not be able to accommodate
you at the same property and may require members of your group to stay in
multiple properties or be flexible to an alternative property, which could
accommodate your group.
Your voucher entitles you to
properties at the Category 1 level. If you would like to upgrade to any of the
higher-level B&B’s or hotels, you can do so at an additional supplement as
follows, payable directly to The Circle at the time of confirmation:
Supplements for travel January – December 2019
Category 2 - additional £6 per person/per night (based on double occupancy)
Category 3 - additional £15 per person/per night (based on double occupancy)
Category 4 - additional £20 per person/per night (based on double occupancy)
Category 5 - additional £27.50 per person/per night (based on double occupancy)
Category 6 – starting at an additional £30 per person/per night* (based on double occupancy)
*Category 6 supplements vary based on location of property, room type and
dates of stay.
Please Note: Supplement fees paid directly to The Circle can only be charged via American Express, Visa or MasterCard.
