  • ML Lodge

    I’m happy that I stayed at the ML Lodge, it was just about perfectly placed convenient for all the cities attraction, but maybe a little too close to the throbbing night life! Kerry was really good attending to several of my special requests as were the rest of the helpful staff. I liked the full English (Welsh?) morning meal. show more
