This Salt & City Stays family accommodation is located in a quiet spot just a 10-minute drive from Cardiff centre. 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 dining 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. This large kitchen is a contemporary and cool grey and is a great space for making feasts and plans. There is also a small utility space that houses the individual washing machine. Adjacent to the utility room you will find a small WC on the first floor. Completing the ground floor is the first of four fabulous bedrooms; a double bedroom with a large window allowing lots of natural light in.
The master bedroom on the first floor features a king-size bed, bedside tables with lamps, built-in wardrobes, and a large window overlooking the garden area. 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.
