We loved staying at Cardigan Castle. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the food was excellent, and we'd absolutely recommend a visit if you get the chance to be in Cardigan. The top room was spacious, with two comfortable beds we pushed together and its own bathroom, though we mostly just slept there. Staying in the castle included breakfast, which was a big, full, delicious meal. I had the Castle Breakfast each morning: bacon that seemed somewhere between ham and bacon to us in the US, a large sausage, half a tomato, a buttery field mushroom, an egg, beans and Lavercake. I hadn't tried Lavercake before. It's a Welsh food, a dense little ball of grains, a bit like a bran muffin. It wasn't my favorite, but I ate it every day because I'd never seen it in the US. The meat, egg and mushroom were all delicious, and that tomato was surprisingly good. My wife isn't keen on breakfast meats, so she chose the Castle Veggie Breakfast and liked it a lot. We also tried the French toast one day, which was really good. There were croissants, juices, honey and jellies available with breakfast, and the view from the restaurant window was gorgeous. We watched the sunrise across the river. Castle guests have a gated parking area at the back. There's also a pleasant park area to walk around and plenty of interesting places to explore. The castle museum was closed during our stay, but we still had a great time. The castle is in a great location, within walking distance of a park, several cute little shops and a grocery store.

The gardens are beautiful, especially the kitchen garden with all its autumn produce. The castle visit was interesting, and the historical information was manageable rather than overwhelming. It felt like good value at £8, and the whole visit took about two hours. The cafe was a nice way to end it. Miss Barbara Woods' story fascinated me, especially her sad ending. It makes me so sad that she ended up in a pauper's grave and the council chose not to pay for a headstone. Given her connection to the castle and Cardigan, I think her life should be celebrated.

The cafe is good, and the gardens are well kept, with a pleasant place to sit for a break. The castle tells an interesting story of how it changed from a 12th Century fortress into a 20th Century home. There isn't parking at the castle, but there are plenty of spaces within a 5-10 minute walk, including on-street parking right outside.

The Escape Room was a highlight. It's based on an item found in the house during renovation and is very well put together. It's on the easier side for experienced players, but a really fun challenge and a great introduction if you've only done a couple of escape rooms, or none at all. We've done about a dozen at different difficulty levels and enjoyed it. The castle and manor house, built on the castle foundations, are both interesting to explore, though not much of the original castle remains. You can see it all thoroughly in a couple of hours. We struggled to find parking nearby, as the closest car park, which can flood, was very full, and there's no parking at the castle. The online information suggested limited dairy-free and gluten-free choices at the restaurant, so we booked somewhere else locally that could cater for us.
