Where to stay in Llandaff
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Llandaff keeps its cathedral ground inside Cardiff, and a room taken here puts the Bishop's Palace, Insole Court and the Cathedral Churchyard on the same short walk. Hotels are counted with Cardiff. That suits a visitor whose day runs to St Catherine's Church, The Old Registry and 19 High Street, Llandaff, while anyone wanting the choice of a city centre books under the Cardiff name instead.
